Bio

I hold a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery from the Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University. I am currently completing postgraduate studies toward a Master’s degree in Neuropsychiatry at the same university, alongside the Membership of the Royal College of Psychiatrists pathway in the United Kingdom
I also completed specialized Beck Institute training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and serious mental-health conditions, together with intensive training in trauma-focused Dialectical Behavior Therapy for borderline personality disorder and complex post-traumatic stress disorder
I additionally received training from the World Health Organization in the clinical implementation of the eleventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases
Having grown up in Saudi Arabia and studied within both British and Egyptian educational systems, I have developed the flexibility and cultural awareness to work in Arabic and English with people from diverse Arab and international backgrounds
Vision
I believe that effective psychiatric care begins with careful listening and understanding the person as a whole, rather than simply assigning a diagnosis. I therefore aim to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where each person can speak openly and develop a clear and reassuring understanding of what they are experiencing.
From the first consultation, I aim for each person to leave with a clearer understanding of their condition, the factors affecting it, the available options, and the next steps in their treatment journey. I develop the treatment plan collaboratively while providing clear professional guidance and ensuring that its goals reflect the person’s needs, values, and circumstances.
My goal extends beyond reducing symptoms to strengthening emotional stability, restoring everyday functioning, improving quality of life, and supporting realistic and sustainable change. Progress is reviewed regularly through changes in symptoms, daily functioning, the ability to manage stress, and the goals agreed upon together.
The treatment plan may include psychoeducation, motivational interviewing, evidence-based psychological interventions, and practical skills training. When clinically appropriate, medication may also be incorporated as part of a comprehensive plan with regular follow-up.
