Dory Noorafkan is a Registered Psychotherapist (Q) with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. Her work integrates evidence-based psychotherapy with movement-based modalities such as yoga, somatic therapy, breathwork, and mindfulness. This interdisciplinary approach supports deeper healing by addressing both the psychological and physiological aspects of well-being.

With academic training in Anthropology, Psychology, and over 1,000 hours of clinical yoga and functional movement training, Dory bring a mind-body perspective that complements rehabilitative environments. She specializes in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic stress, identity or life-role transitions, and holds a strong clinical interest in perinatal and postnatal mental health.

In collaboration with physiotherapists, chiropractors, and other allied health providers, Dory work focuses on:

• Supporting clients whose emotional stress contributes to physical tension, pain, or delayed recovery

• Reducing nervous system dysregulation that often accompanies chronic pain or injury

• Enhancing mind-body awareness to complement manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation

• Providing psychoeducation and somatic strategies to improve resilience, mobility, and overall function

“My intention is to create a safe, compassionate therapeutic environment where clients can understand their inner experiences, release stored tension, build emotional flexibility, and move toward a greater sense of clarity, stability, and well-being. Through an integrative lens, I help clients strengthen the connection between mind and body so they can navigate life’s challenges—both physical and emotional—with greater confidence”.
