About Pouria Jabari

Hello, I am Pouria. I am an Associate Therapist at Thrive Counselling. If you are here looking for a therapist, you are listening to that inner voice whispering, “I need some help.” You are following your inkling. I followed my inkling too. I was an environmental engineer and researcher for years, but my inner voice led me to volunteer in many non-profit organizations. Through those experiences, I realized my passion and strength: connecting with people and helping them! So, I became a psychotherapist!

The question is, who is the right help for you? In my humble opinion (as a humanistic therapist), it all comes down to connection—between you and your therapist, as two humans! That connection allows a relationship where you feel you are in the safest place on the planet—able to open up about any scary thought or come close to very painful emotions—because you know they are with you, supporting you, exploring with you, helping you find clarity! Only those who have experienced such a relationship and environment truly know its transformative power.

I help clients with emotional struggles, hidden self-conflicts, and existential uncertainty. Many of my clients are men, immigrants, and high-achieving professionals. Therapy, to me, is a deep, empathic co-exploration—a process where I guide my clients toward self-honesty, clarity, and authentic choices—without judgment or ready-made answers.

If these words connect with you, let’s test our connection further! And even if we never meet, please remember: seeking help means you are open to rethink and change. You are brave to ask for help. You have the invaluable “readiness for change.” Be proud of it. And with the right help, you can transform it into the change you desire!
