My name is Mahnoor Mateen, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I offer culturally sensitive, compassionate, evidence-based psychotherapy in a space where we can work together to create a sense of safety and trust.

I understand that each person comes from a unique background, with experiences, relationships, and cultural influences that can shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. Through authentic conversation and supportive interventions, we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences while developing meaningful ways to cope with the concerns you may be facing.

My approach is client-centred, and I believe in meeting you where you are while working collaboratively toward the goals that matter to you. My practice draws from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Existential Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), Narrative Therapy (NT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). I tailor these approaches to your individual needs, experiences, and goals rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

I primarily work with women and adolescent girls, supporting clients through a range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. I have over two years of experience working with children and families affected by selective mutism, providing behavioural and play-based interventions, including PCIT-SM, under the supervision of Clinical Psychologist Dr. Jemma Helfman at The Feelings Place. I have since expanded my clinical experience to working with adolescents and adults across a range of concerns under the supervision of Registered Social Worker Ilda Caeiro-Azzam at ICA Supervision and Counselling.

I support clients navigating a range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, emotional dysregulation, isolation, motivation, grief, self-esteem, life transitions, family and relationship concerns, anger management, borderline personality disorder, social anxiety, selective mutism, and more. I also welcome clients experiencing other challenges that may be affecting their emotional well-being and day-to-day life.

As a Muslim South Asian woman, I understand how our identities, cultures, and lived experiences can shape our mental well-being, and how difficult it can be to find someone who truly understands. My goal is to see you as a whole person and provide a warm, supportive space where we can work together on what matters most to you, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. For clients who wish to incorporate faith into therapy, I welcome the opportunity to explore how Islamic values, teachings, and practices can support your healing and well-being.

I know that starting therapy can feel daunting, but it is my goal to make the process as comfortable, supportive, and welcoming as possible. All I ask is that you show up, and together, we can begin putting the scattered puzzle pieces back into place. I would be honoured to hear your story and walk alongside you as you navigate this journey through life.
