Fiona Yassin is the Founder and Clinical Director of The Wave Clinic, Kuala Lumpur, an internationally recognised residential service for adolescents, young adults, and families.

A clinical supervisor with a cross-cultural perspective shaped by her Arabic family background, Fiona is an EMDRIA-trained clinician with specialist training in Dynamic Supportive Therapy (DST) Levels 1 & 2, the Anna Freud Centre’s Parenting Programmes, and Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) for adolescents and families.

She has pioneered innovative treatment models that integrate psychiatry, psychotherapy, education, and the creative arts, positioning The Wave as a luxury, family-owned service trusted by international families.
