Christina Tawdrous is a CDA-licensed Psychologist at CAYA World Clinic with more than thirteen years of international experience across Canada and the UAE. She provides individual, couples, and group therapy to adults, young adults, and teens, including individuals with autism and other neurodivergent profiles. Her practice is warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive, grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a safe space to be genuinely seen and heard.
She works with a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, OCD, low mood and mood-related difficulties, relationship and family challenges, workplace stress and burnout, and life transitions, drawing on evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, person-centred therapy, and Gottman Method couples therapy. Across every session she takes time to understand each person's story and cultural context, tailoring her support rather than applying a single fixed model.
Christina's experience spans private practice, developmental services, and school-based counselling, informing her understanding of emotional wellbeing across different stages of life. While she has over ten years of experience supporting individuals with autism and related developmental needs, her current practice also focuses on working with adults navigating depression, anxiety, attachment difficulties, relationship patterns, and major life transitions. She supports clients in understanding themselves more deeply, recognizing recurring patterns, and developing healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual's experiences, helping clients navigate challenges, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives.
Christina believes that meaningful change begins with feeling understood. Her style is warm, non-judgemental, and collaborative, creating a safe and confidential space where clients can explore what feels overwhelming and work at a pace that feels right for them. She pays close attention to each person's cultural background and lived experience, integrating that context into how she understands their concerns and shapes their care.
Drawing on evidence-based methods and more than a decade of clinical experience across diverse settings, she helps people build healthier coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and move toward the lives they want. Whether working with an individual, a couple, or a family, her focus is on practical, lasting change built on a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship.
