About Me
I support individuals navigating addiction recovery, drawing on my experience gained in rehabilitation centres. My training in Counseling, therapy, and psychological assessment provides a broad foundation. As a Certified Reality Therapy Practitioner, I help you explore choices and take practical steps. This approach offers clear strategies for understanding needs and building a more fulfilling life. It is well-suited for those seeking lasting positive change.
Approach
Sessions focus on clear choices, small experiments and tracking what actually changes day to day so progress feels tangible. From Manama or online, in Arabic or English, I keep meetings paced and practical—brief check-ins, focused problem-solving and agreed between-session tasks that build skills. Assessment findings shape a personalised plan; we translate observations into measurable goals, review progress regularly and adjust strategies to support recovery, relationship repair or crisis stabilization. This approach suits people seeking steady, realistic steps toward lasting stability.
