Jamila Kafafi, is a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and holds a diverse educational background. She possesses a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree, and a Social Service Worker (SSW) diploma. Currently, Jamila is under supervision, with her supervisor, Ilda Caeiro-Azzam, also holding a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree and being a Registered Social Worker (RSW).
Jamila’s areas of interest include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care. Her therapeutic approach is client-centred and strength-based, reflecting her deep interest in attentive listening. She is fascinated by how individuals make sense of their lives, the challenges they face, and the profound impact of emotions on their decisions. Jamila firmly believes that healing occurs when someone feels genuinely heard and understood, and she is committed to being a part of this transformative process. Over time, she realized that psychotherapy would allow her to combine her sincere desire to help individuals overcome their personal challenges. The interplay between scientific knowledge of the mind and the deeply human aspect of connection fuelled her passion for this path. She has personally witnessed the transformative power of therapy, not only for individuals but also for relationships and communities. It seemed like an ideal fit for her skills and values, and it continues to be an immensely fulfilling journey.
Jamila is available for sessions on Monday - Friday 9:30 am to 2:30 pm.
