About Me

I provide a compassionate space to explore your unique challenges. My training in both Western and Eastern settings allows me to tailor an integrative approach, respecting your cultural background. We can use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to understand thoughts and feelings, helping you develop practical ways forward. This client-centred therapy is ideal for those seeking support that truly honours their individual journey and heritage.

Approach

You’ll notice I keep sessions steady and collaborative, blending practical skills practice with culturally attuned reflection so we focus on what matters to you. I offer face-to-face appointments in Cairo and confidential online sessions in Arabic or English, scheduling around your life. Between meetings we use short, targeted experiments and simple tracking to test unhelpful thoughts, manage anxiety, or navigate transitional decisions—pace and tasks set together. This way of working often suits adults facing cultural shifts, burnout, body-image concerns or relationship strain who want clear tools and thoughtful support.
