Ms Dana Sarhan

Counselor

verified by TherapyRoute

“An experienced counselor in diverse cultures in the MENA region. Works with adult individuals or couples. Also a Marriage and Family Therapist specialized in Relationships.”

About Me

I help couples and individuals navigate complex relationship and intimacy challenges. My experience across diverse cultures in the MENA region means I understand unique dynamics. We can explore communication patterns and build stronger connections together. I ensure our sessions are a respectful space where all voices are heard. This culturally sensitive approach is ideal for those seeking nuanced support to foster deeper understanding.

Approach

I work with individuals and couples in a way that respects your cultural context and personal experience, focusing on practical, person-centred steps to support intimacy, communication, and a sense of safety. In Beirut or online, in Arabic or English, I keep sessions collaborative and at a pace that suits you, moving between brief check-ins, deeper exploration, and focused skills practice. We approach difficult memories or anxieties gently, practise clear communication and grounding techniques, and sometimes use simple reflections between sessions to help shift patterns around body image, desire, and trust.
