I am an experienced counsellor who is compassionate about guiding my clients to explore their strengths and improve their emotional wellbeing.

I enjoy working with Person Centred, Solution Focused, Emotionally Focused, and Body work approaches like Mindfulness, Meditation, Somatic, and Gestalt therapy. I practice in a context that embraces acceptance, compassion and inner truth.
I am an ethical, benevolent, non-judgmental and supportive therapist. This enables me to build and nurture an environment that is safe and inclusive for therapy which is tailored for each client. I am a bilingual Arabic speaker, and my practice is subtle to the needs of people from diverse ethnic and sexuality backgrounds.
