Yakov Iliabaev

I’m Yakov Iliabaev, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with Cognitive Resilience Counselling Clinic. I specialize in supporting individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, communication breakdowns, infidelity, and major life transitions. I also offer dedicated mentorship for men seeking guidance, emotional safety, and clarity in their personal growth.

​

With a background in Biology and Chemistry and advanced training in Counselling Psychology, I blend science-based insight with practical therapeutic skills. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, EFT, SFBT, and narrative therapy, allowing me to tailor each session to your specific needs.

​

Growing up with ADHD and supporting a sibling on the autism spectrum shaped my empathy, patience, and commitment to understanding people’s unique experiences. These early influences, combined with working with diverse populations, allow me to meet clients where they are—with respect, openness, and genuine care.

​

Whether you’re managing overwhelming emotions, repairing a relationship, rebuilding trust after infidelity, or trying to parent with more confidence, I’m here to help you gain stability, direction, and the tools to move forward. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and focused on helping you create lasting change.

​

If you’re ready to feel supported, understood, and equipped to take the next step, I’m here to walk that path with you.
