Welcome to Hayat Embodied Therapy,
where balance isn't about perfection,
it's about being human.
Meet our founder - Laiba Hayat
With over four years of experience, I support adults, teens, mothers, and women navigating reproductive health, as well as individuals with visual disabilities and those from minority communities.
My work is deeply rooted in both professional training and lived experience as a South Asian therapist, allowing me to understand the cultural, familial, and societal pressures that often go unspoken.
Through my clinical work and community involvement, I aim to create a space that feels compassionate, grounded, and genuinely understanding of the unique challenges each person carries.
I offer thoughtful, personalized support through evidence-based approaches tailored to your individual needs. Therapy is a space where you can slow down, breathe, and show up as you are—without pressure to have everything figured out, to explain yourself perfectly, or to meet anyone else’s expectations. This is your space to be real, to be heard, and to feel supported in a way that feels natural and safe.
I hold your lived experience with deep care and respect, recognizing how culture, identity, family dynamics, and life experiences shape who you are. Together, we move at a pace that feels right for you, gently exploring both your strengths and the parts of you that may feel overwhelmed, unseen, or exhausted. My approach is always rooted in empathy, cultural awareness, and a genuine commitment to helping you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your healing journey.
Who I Am?
I’m Laiba Hayat, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). As a woman, a daughter, and someone whose own lived experiences have shaped my path into this work, I bring a deep sense of empathy, understanding, and intention into every space I hold. My journey into therapy is rooted not only in professional training, but in personal insight—recognizing the complexities of identity, culture, family expectations, and the quiet struggles that are often carried alone.
These experiences have shaped how I show up as a therapist: with warmth, humility, and a genuine respect for each person’s story. I strive to create a space that feels human and connected—where you feel seen not just for what you’re going through, but for who you are at your core.
A Judgement Free Space
I offer a safe and supportive space where you can show up as you are, without pressure to perform, explain everything perfectly, or have all the answers. Your experiences, emotions, and identity are met with care and without judgment, creating space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings with compassion, curiosity, and understanding.
Our approaches in Therapy
My approach is grounded in respect for your lived experience, including the ways relationships, culture, family history, and identity shape who you are. I draw on evidence-based methods, empathy, and understanding, and tailor support to your individual needs. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, or life transitions, I offer a supportive space to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
