A Woman Writing by the Window

“Ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets trying to find you. I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in the darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.” ~Hafiz

Psychotherapy for individuals from North Africa and the Middle East

The sessions

With all that is unfolding at a collective and individual level,  you may be experiencing feelings of overwhelm, guilt, anger, deep sadness and despair.  You may feel that you are in survival mode and need to keep going.  My role is to provide you with a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space to be with the suffering. 

​

Increasingly people of diverse ethnic backgrounds are looking for healing approaches that speak to their specific experience. Having grown up in Khartoum, being originally from Lebanon and having studied in the US and UK, I understand the cultural and societal nuances associated with living in North Africa and the Middle East.

 

My role is to walk with you through the tides of life. My spoken Arabic is weak, so I prefer to hold sessions in English.

​

Sessions will be held online and will last 55 minutes. I offer a sliding scale of £60 - £90 per session

​

Contact me if you would like to schedule an introductory session.

Who I am

I am trained in Core Process Psychotherapy. The uniqueness in this form of therapy is that it offers unconditional kindness, nonjudgemental presence, and calmness in the face of difficulty. It is a space to share and reflect on emotions without fear of judgement or pressure to act. The goal of my work is to hold a deeply grounded and honest space. Within this space we will work through the emotions, memories, fears held in your being, so that you can reconnect to a sense of spaciousness and presence.  

​

Areas of exploration, could include:

  • Identity and belonging

  • Family, society, religious expectations and personal authenticity

  • Shame and guilt

  • Anger, anxiety and fear

  • Pleasure, joy and presence

 

"When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything."   

Lao Tzu
