I have been working in the field of mental health for 14 years, with a focus on helping people get the most culturally and socially suitable support they need to holistically improve their wellbeing, overcome their problems and build resilience. I believe the most successful of therapy experiences is one where the individual learns the best ways to cope with current and future adversities. I am a chartered psychologist, British educated with bachelors, masters and PhD degrees in psychology, and I have undertaken specialist training in various therapeutic techniques. I am specialized in mental health response in the Arab world, and speak both English and Arabic fluently. In the last ten years I have been working to provide complex psychological support to conflict and war-devastated communities in the Arab region and refugees across the world. My approach to therapy is rooted in both EMDR techniques as well as CBT-focused techniques, providing support to clients in individual and group settings for a variety of problems including: Trauma & posttraumatic stress Depression Anxiety Grief & bereavement Child counselling Family counselling Stress management Burnout & work problems Pain relief Migraines Stuttering Insomnia and sleep problems Health anxiety & chronic illness Relationship issues & difficulties I am a published author and currently working on writing my next book about mental health response in the Arab world. I am a trainer in CBT-focused techniques and provide capacity building to mental health and psychosocial teams across the world. I aspire to be a compassionate and effective psychologist, committed to providing the best support to individuals from different cultures with an open-minded and flexible mindset. I hold the following qualifications from the United Kingdom: PhD Psychology; MSc Psychological research; BSc Psychology; Postgraduate diploma in Teaching in Higher education; EMDR training (fully accredited EMDR therapy) CBT training I am a member of the British Psychological Society (www.bps.org.uk) I am a board member for the Children and War Foundation (www.childrenandwar.org)
