Mrs Haya Alshawa, MA

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

“I am here to support you through life's most complex and challenging matters. I genuinely care about your well-being. If you are experiencing conflicts in your life and relationship that seem impossible to resolve, I can help you explore them, work on your communication, improve your interactions, and resolve conflicts”

About Me

I am here to support you through life's most challenging matters. When conflicts in your life or relationships feel impossible, I offer a space to genuinely explore them. We will work together on communication and interactions, helping you gain clarity. My aim is to help you navigate and resolve those difficult situations. Clients ready to improve their relationship dynamics will find a dedicated ally here.

Approach

To move through intense relationship and life struggles, I guide a practical, paced process that centers your values and personal safety. Online sessions in English or Arabic provide a steady, confidential space where we practice clearer communication, try small behavioural experiments, and notice what changes your day-to-day. Between sessions you may use brief exercises, grounding techniques and gentle memory work to build tolerance and new patterns without becoming overwhelmed. People wanting concrete tools to strengthen relationships and reduce distress often find this collaborative pace helpful.
