Psychologist
When life becomes heavy, confusing, or emotionally exhausting, people often lose touch with their inner stability. My work is to help individuals understand their emotional world, regulate what overwhelms them, and gradually return to a clearer, steadier relationship with themselves and their lives.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I am a licensed clinical psychologist, supporting adults struggling with mood difficulties, relationship patterns, and adjustment challenges, especially expats navigating transitions. I use techniques from (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, where, together, we work on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns that keep you stuck, and instead help you build healthier ones, gaining practical everyday tools that help you reach your value-driven goals.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist providing individual psychotherapy for adolescents and adults.

I support you in this space to slow down, be heard, and make sense of what feels heavy while taking steps toward meaningful change.

I offer culturally rooted, quality mental health care for those living between worlds.
If you are in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself, get help now. Visit a nearby emergency service, hospital, or mental health clinic. If you are in crisis, these helplines can help:
The listing in Jeddah includes clinical psychologists, mental health counsellors and psychologists.
Sessions in Jeddah are offered in English, Arabic, French and Hindi/Urdu.
Where the filters do not settle it, a first conversation is where most people decide.
The Saudi Arabia page lists every city we cover, and the accordion below answers what the professional titles mean and how fees usually work.
The profiles listed above are practitioners who consult in Jeddah, or who name Jeddah as an area they work in. You can narrow the list by profession, by the difficulties someone works with, by language, by client group and by identity.
You can also filter for practitioners who work online. Open a profile to send an enquiry, ask for a number, or book, where those buttons are shown.
For extra reassurance, you can check anyone listed here on the register for their profession. In Saudi Arabia the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties classifies and registers psychologists, and classification is required before practising.
Psychologists are graded on the Commission's health-specialist ladder: specialist, senior specialist and consultant, tied to bachelor's, master's and doctoral training with supervised clinical experience.
A practitioner's grade can be checked on the SCFHS register. Psychiatrists are physicians and sit on the Commission's medical ladder, where grades such as registrar and consultant apply. Search the register by name at Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS).
Check that the name and title match and that the entry is current. If they do not, ask the practitioner why. Everyone listed must be qualified for the work they offer. Whether that qualification is also a licence depends on the profession.
A tick beside a registration, qualification or membership means we have seen evidence for that entry, not that we endorse the practitioner. The Verified mark means we have run a closer check on that practitioner's documents.
The practitioner pays for that check, and it fails if the documents do not pass. Of the 6 practitioners listed in Jeddah, 6 carry the Verified mark.
Therapist covers anyone who offers talk-based help with emotional and relationship difficulties. The word says nothing about training. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specialises in mental health. Psychiatrists can prescribe medicine.
A psychologist is trained in the study of the mind and behaviour, and works by assessment and talk therapy. Where the title is protected, a psychologist needs a recognised qualification in psychology and registration with the body that governs the profession.
Counsellors and psychotherapists work by talk therapy as well, and what their training requires depends on the title and on where you are. As a rule of thumb: if medicine may be part of the answer, start with a psychiatrist.
For an assessment or a formal report, start with a psychologist. For ongoing counselling or therapy, see a counsellor or a psychotherapist. The profession filter above shows which of these are listed here.
The titles that carry legal weight are the registered ones. Where a title is not registered, anyone may use it, so the register is what tells you what training sits behind the word.
Each practitioner sets their own fee, not any figure on this page. A practitioner's profile shows their fees where they have given them; ask the practitioner for the fee. An online session is usually not much cheaper than one in a consulting room.
Practitioners commonly charge the same rate either way, so you save the travelling and the time around it.
Many practitioners keep a few reduced-fee places. They set the reduction themselves after asking about your income, so ask rather than assume. Group therapy costs less per session, and for a number of difficulties it works as well as individual work.
Publicly funded clinics and non-profit services will often see you without a referral.
For most common difficulties the research puts video sessions close to in-person work. It holds on the same condition as any therapy: the relationship between the two of you has to be a good one. It suits you if you live far from a practitioner, have little room in a week, or want a choice your own town cannot offer. It suits some situations less well, and a practitioner should say so.
A practitioner usually suggests meeting in person where there is immediate risk to safety, or nowhere private to talk. Text-based and on-demand app services do cost less, and they are a different product, not a cheaper version of the same one.
The evidence behind them is thinner than for regular psychotherapy. They often sell messaging rather than a scheduled hour with one practitioner who knows your history. Filter the list above for online availability to see who offers it here.
Yes, within limits. An ethical code requires a registered practitioner to keep what you say private. A professional body's code binds its members too. The limits are narrow and commonly include a serious and immediate danger to you or to another person, and abuse of a child or of a vulnerable adult.
A court can also order it disclosed in some circumstances. A claim to an insurer usually carries some information with it. A practitioner should set those limits out in the first session. You are entitled to ask where the line sits before you say anything you would rather keep private.
The first session is an orientation and a brief assessment, and usually lasts about an hour. The therapist will ask what brings you, say how they work, and go through confidentiality, fees and practical arrangements. You can ask about their approach and experience. You do not need to prepare anything; come as you are.
Whether it is a good fit matters more than any technique. Therapy works better when the working relationship is strong,3 and that relationship usually takes a few sessions to settle, so give it time before deciding.
Read our guide on What is Therapy?
The person matters as much as the method. The names you will come across include cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, family therapy and couples therapy. The nature of the difficulty shapes the choice, and so does whether you want something short and focused or something open-ended. It also depends on how much of the past you want to work with, and what you can sustain in time and money.
A trained practitioner will say what they think would suit, and say so when they are not the right person.
You do not need a diagnosis to benefit from therapy.1 Therapy helps when something is not working and you want to think it through with someone. If you want change, support, or clarity, therapy is a reasonable place to start.
About one person in eight lives with a mental health condition, and many more face stress or want more from life.1 You do not need to wait for a crisis.
Read our guide on Who Needs Therapy?
Choosing an independent therapist in Jeddah gives you more control. You approach them directly. Nobody is assigned to you. The two of you agree the goals and the way of working together. Independent practitioners can adjust the approach, the pace and the session length to what you need. Fewer parties are involved in your care, and you can see the same clinician over time, which supports deeper work.
