Ms Nancy Yassine

Psychotherapist

“A psychotherapist with a progressive experience in mental health since 2009 and a strong track record in cross-cultural mental health programmes of United Nations agencies and other INGOs in Egypt, Syria, and Ukraine. A culturally sensitive practitioner of trauma-informed therapies.”

About Me

As a psychotherapist, I bring extensive experience in mental health since 2009. My work with UN agencies in Egypt, Syria, and Ukraine has shaped my culturally sensitive approach. I specialise in trauma-informed therapies, creating a safe, understanding space for healing. I am a good match for those from diverse backgrounds, navigating complex emotions or past difficult experiences.

Approach

International field experience has shaped how sessions unfold: steady, paced, and attuned to cultural cues so you feel understood before deeper work begins. In Cairo or online, sessions balance gentle tracking of symptoms and narrative alongside targeted psychoeducation and short assessments to clarify patterns between meetings. Homework is practical—simple experiments or grounding practices you can use in daily life—while therapy stays collaborative, adjusting pace to your readiness. People navigating trauma, loss, anxiety or complex relationships often find this steady, culturally aware rhythm helpful.
