Sumia Abdul-Matin
(She/Her/Hers)
MPS, RP(Qualifying)
I provide relational, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive psychotherapy. I work with individuals who may understand intellectually why they feel or behave in certain ways, yet still find themselves caught in painful emotional or relational patterns. My approach is grounded primarily in Emotion-Focused Therapy and attachment-based psychotherapy, while integrating trauma-informed, CBT-informed, and existential approaches according to each person’s needs. I believe therapy can offer a space to move beyond simply managing symptoms and begin understanding the emotions, relationships, and experiences that may be underneath them. I am particularly interested in how early relationships, attachment experiences, culture, identity, and significant life experiences shape the way we understand ourselves and connect with others. My background in Spiritual Care also allows me to sensitively explore spirituality, faith, culture, and questions of meaning when these are important to you. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel heard and understood, while also being gently supported and challenged toward greater emotional awareness, self-understanding, and meaningful change.

Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, and I believe finding the right therapist is an important part of that process. My hope is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, heard, and able to be yourself in our session without feeling any judgment. I approach counselling with warmth, compassion, and genuine curiosity. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, and help you make sense of what you are experiencing, and support you in finding practical ways to move forward.
I support individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, stress, low-esteem, body image, and family conflict. I have special interest in women’s mental health, including prenatal and perinatal concerns, postpartum depression and anxiety, and the emotional transition into motherhood.
As a Social Worker, I also bring a wealth of experience working with children, families, and neurodivergent clients. I take a compassionate, child-centred approach and strive to create a safe, supportive environment where children feel understood, valued, and comfortable being themselves.
