🧠 About Nafiseh Hajibeckloo

I am Nafiseh Hajibeckloo, a clinical psychologist with a Master’s degree and over a decade of experience in psychotherapy since 2014. My journey began with cognitive-based approaches, working with a wide range of individuals and groups. However, I was continuously drawn to something deeper—the profound recognition of each person’s uniqueness and the need to create a therapeutic space that honors freedom of thought and personal authenticity.

This pursuit led me, after years of searching and study, toward the existential-phenomenological approach to psychotherapy. Since 2020, I have immersed myself in intensive training and study within this model, launching a new chapter in my clinical work grounded in existential exploration and presence-based practice.

🌱 Therapeutic Approach

Existential-Phenomenological Psychotherapy

At the heart of my therapeutic approach is the belief in the uniqueness and unrepeatable nature of each individual’s experience. Rather than relying on predetermined techniques, I engage dynamically in each session, focusing on deep understanding, presence, and connection.

This approach values the therapeutic relationship as a shared journey—where harmony with the client’s world becomes the foundation for healing. In our work together, the goal is not simply symptom management, but rediscovering meaning, agency, and coherence in one’s lived experience.

💬 Philosophy of Mental Health

I view psychological distress as a reaction to a world that no longer feels aligned—a sense of temporal dislocation or existential “off-centeredness.” In this framework, mental health symptoms are not just disorders but signals of discord between the person and their world.

The answers to a person’s emotional struggles often lie not in generalized diagnoses, but within the unique narrative of their life story. As a therapist, I see myself not as an authority, but as a compassionate companion—walking beside the individual as they reconnect with the richness of their own lived experience and move toward reclaiming their personal wholeness.
