Farah Yusuf

Psychologist

As a psychologist with over 15 years of experience, I love supporting young people and adults to learn more about themselves and feel happier in their lives. I especially enjoy working with people who are or have been involved with the criminal justice system and would like support around behaviour change. Over the years I have worked in the prison system, with people with disabilities, people who have experienced complex trauma and with children, adolescents and families.

I value transparency, collaboration, humility and lifelong learning. People I have worked with say I am warm, approachable, friendly and easy going. I use different approaches depending on my clients' goals, needs and preferences. These include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

  • Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Positive Psychology

  • Mindfulness and Self-Regulation

I am passionate about supporting people to learn more about what is important to them and to live their lives according to their values.
