Abi Shabgard

Abi is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who is passionate about supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions and self-criticism. She offers a warm, thoughtful and grounding presence where clients can explore their inner world, gain insight into unhelpful patterns and build tools for lasting change. ​

With training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing, Abi takes a collaborative and evidence-based approach. She believes therapy is a space where individuals can be both challenged and supported, learning to show up more fully for themselves and their loved ones. ​

Abi provides psychotherapy in English, Farsi, Dari, Hindi and Urdu and is committed to offering culturally sensitive care for clients from diverse backgrounds. ​

Outside of her clinical work, Abi enjoys playing tabla, a classical Indian percussion instrument. ​

Abi is accepting new clients for virtual and in-person, daytime and evening appointments.
