About me

Easily labeled a Third Culture Kid/Adult, I’ve spent nearly all my life in countries and cultures different from that of my parents’ and my own nationality. I was born in the UK, but with my early education in India and Saudi Arabia, I think I developed a profound appreciation for the intricate interplay of traditions and identities. Eager to fuse my love for psychology and cultural understanding, I studied Psychology in the cultural melting pot of Lebanon, and my advanced studies in Transcultural Counseling on the picturesque island of Malta. I -half jokingly- say I’m a cultural mutant having merged values and idiosyncratic habits from each country I have lived in. Now I use my unique life experiences to connect with and support individuals from any background.
