Dr Aysha Al Shaikh, PhD

Licensed Psychologist

“Psychologist with over 6 years of experience in clinical settings. An academic figure who worked as an associate professor in a number of universities. Proficient in conducting psychological assessments, providing therapy, and developing treatment plans for diverse populations.”

About Me

As a psychologist, I bring over six years of clinical experience. My academic background as an associate professor also informs my practice. I support diverse individuals, using psychological assessments to understand complex needs. This informed approach helps develop effective treatment plans. Clients appreciate my clear guidance. They find practical strategies for lasting change and improved well-being.

Approach

Clinical practice and academic perspective shape how sessions unfold: I use measured assessment to map patterns, then translate findings into clear, step-by-step work we do together. I meet clients in Muharruq and offer therapy in Arabic and English, keeping sessions focused and paced to each person’s needs; when helpful I involve family or set practical between-session tasks to reinforce change. This approach fits people seeking structured, evidence-informed support for behaviour and relationship challenges.
