If you are suffering from any Mental Health conditions be assured of the most efficient treatment to eradicate your symptoms effectively and speedily.

CBT - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is the most favoured approach by NHS and most Health Organisations as it is more measurable and is seen as more effective.

CBT is best in treating the following Mental Health conditions:

Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Trauma and PTSD, Phobias, OCD, BDD, Self Harm, Esteem issues, Anger Management, Anorexia and Bulimia, Sex Therapy, Couple Therapy, Parenting Skills, Loss issues, Work Achievement, Assertiveness, Conflict Resolution and many more Mental Health issues.  

If you suffer from PTSD due to a Traumatic experience, the best Trauma Therapy processed are available to help you including the use of Neuro-science to gain an understanding of what is causing you the unpleasant symptoms and how to get yourself out of the stubborn distressing symptoms and negative patterns.         These treatments guarantee you a speedy and strong recovery that will be upheld and will help you avoid any future relapse.    The treatments include Tri-Phase Therapy, CPT, PE and CBT.  I have worked with Trauma Patients from9/11, Robbery victims, Accident victims and more gaining experience and achieving healthiest outcomes quite fast.

In Private Practice and reputable Hospitals since 2003 to date. 

Psycho-education is available to familiarise  patients with Neuroscience relevant facts that help them take charge of their Mental and Physical Health to achieve their goals and  to prevent any future relapse. 

I  offer Psycho-education through low cost Webinars and Videos as well . This can be accessed as a stand-alone service but is quite useful after therapy completion to consolidate therapeutic skills.

For Businesses : Work/Life balance, Team building, Stress, Sales Targets 

I work in English and Arabic both as a first language.

As CBT is the most reputable and measurable approach of therapy at present, I use CBT to treat most Mental Health conditions in order to achieve the best outcome in the shortest period and in the easiest and quickest way which also ensures lower cost compared to other Therapeutic Approaches.

In some cases it can be more beneficial to bring in additional approaches to help progress the therapeutic process and enable the Patient make easier and quicker progress.

Such additional approaches can be Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, NLP, Neuroscience, and many more Theoretical understandings that I have been trained and practised in. I am therefore able to use these as resources that help you make easier and more lasting progress.

The therapeutic process includes the following steps:

The Patient shares the issues and the symptoms  causing them difficulty

The Patient and Therapist explore and understand better the causes and triggers, and that leads onto

Finding out what changes are needed to move forward and improve the patient's wellbeing

The exciting part of understanding the issues and finding out of the box solutions starts quite early on and progress is made step by step.    

This is followed by a Relapse Prevention Plan to ensure that resilience is maintained and progressed.

The Journey is quite enjoyable for both Patient and Therapist particularly when the Patient comes closer to reaching the life that they aspire to and the best resilience they can reach.

When the Patient achieves their desired outcomes, that is not the only achievement.  This success enables the Patient to see that having sorted out one issue, they can do the same again and resolve any other issues that they may encounter in future.

My patients have expressed that it is a shared Partnership where discussions, brainstorming, problem solving, information sharing, practical exercises are all part of the process and that is shared every step of the way, till success and resilience is achieved

You may feel unsure about the first session especially if this is your first time to access Therapy.

In the first session, you will need to share and offload what is on your mind.  What you want to change.  What is bothering you,  What you would like to achieve. This need not all happen in one go but can be done at your own pace.

This may be a problem at work, some conflict in their couple, parenting issues, newly diagnosed Mental Health issue or an old stubborn one that will not shift.

It may be a Physical Health condition that is not explainable through medicine and may be a Somatic Symptom of a Mental Health issue.

The foundation for all the process gets laid out early on after an understanding of the issues is reached. 

Once this has been done, a vision of what is needed becomes clearer.

The next step is to look together as a Team:  the patient comes with their experience of their issues, and the therapist comes with the skills and resources

If the goal has been identified accurately and the suitable tools are being used, then the journey is an exciting one where implementation can take place to reach the best outcome.  

It always seems like a great privilege to meet a new person who is willing to share the issue that brings them to Therapy, because that demonstrates a great deal of strength and courage.

My patients have commented on the ease of working with me and the speed with which they are able to make a breakthrough which gets them to feel heartened and confident.

I look forward to meeting you so we can get you to the best outcome you desire,
