Live your Dream!
Soul Illuming Center
The Soul Illuming Practice was founded by Yalda Latifi in Sydney, Australia, in 2016. She established the practice in response to the increasing demand for high-quality counselling services among Australians, migrants, refugees, and multicultural communities in Sydney. Since then, we have expanded our services to support a wider range of clients, including youth, adults, couples, and families, addressing various concerns such as mental health disorders, addiction, trauma, ADHD, personality disorders, work cover services, and domestic violence. We have created a therapeutic environment with a strong emphasis on quality treatment, where individuals are treated with respect and compassion.
Services
Yalda offers a wide range of counselling and supervision services in a safe, supportive environment where a trusted therapist helps you face and overcome life and work challenges, update our knowledge, and improve our skills.
“We spend so much effort trying to prove ourselves to others, driven by past experiences. Now is the time to focus on nurturing our mental health. Mental health is priceless and requires consistent work and practice. Its time to prioritise our happiness and invest in ourselves.
Let’s make it happen”

My Approach & Philosophy
As a professional counsellor, I am passionate about supporting individuals on their personal journeys and empowering them through respect, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. I work with youth, adults, families, and couples, addressing a broad spectrum of challenges, including trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, family dynamics, workplace difficulties, and life transitions. My experience spans assisting individuals dealing with mental health issues, domestic violence, addiction, migration, work cover issues, and court or community services. By tailoring my approach to each client’s unique needs and incorporating various modalities and mindfulness techniques, I foster a safe and supportive environment for exploration, clarity, and meaningful change.
My therapeutic approach is mindful, holistic, and relational, emphasising the importance of the client-therapist relationship as the foundation for healing and growth. I collaborate with clients to explore their inner emotional experiences and unconscious patterns, helping them understand how these impact their self-esteem, relationships, and overall well-being. Together, we address the root causes of distress, develop strategies to manage strong emotions, and build a balanced perspective of self and the world. My ultimate goal is to guide clients toward greater self-acceptance, resilience, and personal growth, empowering them to overcome challenges and lead fulfilling lives.
