About me
I am a counsellor, from Egypt and based in Zürich. I’ve always cared about creating connections where people feel safe to explore their feelings.
I support/work with people dealing with a range of emotional and psychological challenges, including: -Low self-esteem – struggling with self-worth, confidence, or feeling “not good enough” -Stress and burnout – feeling overwhelmed, drained, or unable to cope -Relationship difficulties – whether with a partner, family, or friends -Trauma and difficult past experiences – including emotional neglect, or loss. -Life transitions – such as breakups, career changes, moving, or adjusting to a new culture -Identity and self-exploration – figuring out who you are, what you want, and what matters to you
I use Evidence-Based (proven) methods to help, and I truly believe everyone has the ability to heal and grow.

Approach
My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), schema therapy, and insight-oriented methods. I adapt my work to each person's needs and goals, as each human is unique! I work with people in English-speaking and Arabic-speaking communities.
Depending on what brings you to counselling, we may focus on managing current difficulties, understanding past wounds, shifting long-standing patterns, or strengthening the ability to regulate emotions and maintain healthy relationships. Every person holds unique strengths, resilience, and inner power, which we work together to nurture and develop.
A core part of my work is helping people understand intense emotions like sadness, shame, guilt, fear, and anxiety—not just as painful experiences, but as meaningful signals. I believe that through awareness and self-compassion, people can begin to relate to their emotions differently and create space for healing and growth.
I aim to provide a non-judgmental, safe and empathetic presence. I value creating a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to explore both struggles and strengths. Together, we work toward greater clarity, confidence, and a more fulfilling relationship with yourself and others.
