Mr Mehdi Ayati
Clinical Psychologist - B.Psych. M.Psych (Clin), MAPS
Additional Languages:
Farsi
Special Skills/Interests:
As a registered clinical psychologist, Mehdi’s practice is grounded in an eclectic approach that combines multiple therapeutic frameworks tailored to the unique needs of each client. He believes in exploring the deep emotional and relational patterns that shape an individual's experiences, helping clients uncover underlying conflicts and cultivate greater self-awareness. Drawing primarily from psychodynamic and emotion-focused therapies, Mehdi’s work is also informed by evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which aids clients in identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns, and mindfulness techniques to enhance present-moment awareness and emotional regulation. Integrating these elements allows him to create a comprehensive, flexible treatment plan that supports meaningful growth and resilience. Currently in the final year of his Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Sydney, he is conducting research on the perception of hypervigilance and fear, aiming to deepen understanding of these responses to enhance therapeutic approaches.
