Bara Al-Obaidy (he/him) is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) based in Ottawa, where he runs Obaidy Psychotherapy, a practice built around the belief that our relationships, including the one we have with our own desires, deserve real attention.

He works with individuals and couples navigating intimacy, connection, trauma, and identity, bringing a style that's warm, direct, and genuinely curious. His approach draws on Emotionally Focused Therapy, somatic work, and the Gottman Method for couples therapy, but what drives his work is helping people feel less stuck, more understood, and more alive in their relationships.

Bara is especially passionate about the intersection of emotional and sexual health, and believes that honest conversations about desire, communication, and play are some of the most powerful tools we have for real intimacy.
