I grew up in Lebanon and was immersed in psychology from a very young age. I studied psychology in Montreal, Canada prior to moving to the UK to pursue a doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IOPPN) at King’s College London (KCL).

Throughout my doctorate, I had the opportunity to work within different placements. This included working with university students, adolescents within a forensic service, individuals with learning disabilities and neurodiversity, older adults, couples and individuals with anxiety disorders, depression and trauma.

The first session will focus on getting to know you and answering any questions you may have about the process. I aim to create a warm, safe space where you feel comfortable sharing your difficulties. I will try to understand your goals and needs and we’ll develop a treatment plan that is specific to you.

I provide therapeutic interventions for a range of psychological difficulties, including anxiety, relationship problems, stress, depression, anger, OCD, phobias, PTSD, trauma, work difficulties, emotional crises, and bereavements. 

Being born and raised in Lebanon, a diverse, trilingual and multicultural society, I learnt the important values of tolerance, humility and cultural sensitivity and aim to integrate those values in my work.

Aside from my work, I enjoy going on walks and hikes with my golden retriever, Benji. Throughout the lockdown, I have discovered a new passion of mine: baking!

I have been spending the past few years trying out new recipes and challenging myself with my favourite desserts. I love spending time with friends and family, watching movies and traveling.
