About me

I am an expat psychologist that have shared the experience of foreigners and know how many problems can arise when living in a different country. I have worked and personally known people from various backgrounds and histories, each having their own unique outlook on life. I understand the feeling of being lost both in a new environment and an old familiar one, lacking answers to life, and feeling stuck in permenant cycles.

I speak:

ArabicEnglish

Location:

Budapest, Hungary

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
I focus primarily on knowing the client and seeing their perspective by fostering a safe environment to fully be themselves. Keeping in mind their style, needs, and wants, I look for different methods and techniques to explore the issues and work through them. While mainly relying on inquisitive questions, I believe finding new insights to the problems is the first step to addressing them.
