I earned both my PhD and Master’s in Counselling from the University of Edinburgh, and my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Kuwait University. I am also an Assistant Professor of Counselling Psychology at Kuwait University, where I teach courses in counselling, psychotherapy, abnormal psychology, and mental-health education. Alongside my academic role, I maintain a clinical practice grounded in evidence-based methods, informed by my background, and training in Islamic psychology. This allows me to integrate culturally and faith-attuned approaches when relevant, supporting clients in a way that honors both their mental-health needs and their spiritual framework.
My research and clinical interests include perfectionism, anxiety, depression, self-image, marital conflicts, infidelity, and interpersonal relationships. I also focus on maternal mental health, particularly the psychological challenges surrounding childbirth, postpartum depression, miscarriage, and fertility struggles.
My therapeutic approach is shaped by an ongoing dialogue between the person-centered and psychodynamic perspectives in counselling, allowing me to balance empathy and insight, emotional presence and depth, within a culturally and spiritually sensitive framework.
