Fatma is an Iranian born Iraqi, who grew up in Kaurna country. Fatma is a former refugee who grew up navigating the intersections of existing amongst individualistic society while simultaneously belonging to a community enriched by collectivist beliefs.

Fatma strives to cultivate a space of connection and empathy within the therapeutic model, with the intention of using a person-centred approach that also acknowledges and respects the impact of community, culture and history on the individual experience.

Fatma (hopefully) is generally an easy-going person that brings a grounding vibe to the atmosphere. She has recently gotten into watching probably too much improv comedy, realising a deep appreciation for the ‘yes and…” approach to whatever life throws at you. She is working on the skill of approaching life with less rigidity and with more of a desire towards mutual exploration and discovery.

Fatma really enjoys reading and writing but does both far less than she would like to. She does have vague aspirations of writing a book one day, however harbours a deep vendetta against sitting down and actually writing something.

Fatma is open for referral and is available for online and in person [in Footscray] on Thursdays from 11am - 7pm
