Our Psychologists
HOMEYRA LALAVI
Psychologist
“Homeyra supports adults to make sense of their inner experiences, work through emotional challenges, and move toward greater clarity, confidence, and self-understanding.”
​​​
​​​
Homeyra is a Registered Psychologist who supports adults (18+) experiencing depression, trauma, complex trauma, and a range of emotional and psychological challenges. Many of the people she works with feel stuck in recurring patterns, overwhelmed by their emotions, or affected by past experiences that continue to shape their present lives. Homeyra believes that developing awareness of thoughts, emotions, and relational patterns is often the first step toward meaningful and lasting change.
Homeyra prioritises creating a safe, respectful, and collaborative therapeutic space where clients feel comfortable exploring both current concerns and deeper underlying experiences. She understands that change takes time, and works alongside clients at a pace that feels manageable and supportive. By combining insight with practical strategies, Homeyra helps individuals respond to life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self-understanding. She places strong value on the therapeutic relationship, recognising it as a central part of the healing process.
​
Her practice integrates evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic-informed approaches, tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. She works flexibly and thoughtfully, supporting clients to better understand themselves, develop new ways of coping, and move toward meaningful change.
Homeyra is available for face-to-face and Telehealth appointments on Mondays and Thursdays at Skyline Psychology.
