Donna AlShaikh

Counselor

I am a UK-licensed, clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist. Specialized in empowering clients with Anxiety , phobia, Trauma and Grief.

About Me

I support individuals seeking relief from anxiety, phobias, trauma, or grief. As a clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist, I offer a safe space to process difficult emotions. We can gently explore challenges together, using hypnotherapy to build inner resources and new perspectives. My aim is to empower you towards lasting calm and resilience. This approach suits those ready to find their strength and move forward.

Approach

Sessions move at a gentle, steady pace where I listen first, then guide practical shifts using breath, focused imagery and brief hypnotic techniques. In Manama or online, in Arabic or English, we set clear, manageable steps between sessions so emotional flare-ups are noticed and gradually slowed. I work collaboratively—checking pace, adjusting language and giving simple practices to anchor calm and safety in daily life. This way of working often suits people ready for steady, practical change.
