About me
Currently based in the UK but easily labeled a Third Culture Kid/Adult since 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 an appreciation for the 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.

Approach
TL;DR:
I'm here to help you and I'll be using a blend of culturally sensitive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and evidence-backed approaches.
In a bit more depth:
My main goal is to empower you, so you become your own pillar of support, handling life's ups and downs with resilience. Together, we'll explore the power of culturally sensitive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other proven methods. This isn't just about addressing problems; it's about giving you the tools and insights for long-lasting personal growth and well-being.
Think of it like a tailored journey where we'll not only tackle any obstacles but also enhance your positivity, self-awareness, and solution-oriented thinking. I bring in elements of Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy, creating a personalized experience that respects your unique cultural background and needs.
