How I Can Help You

Every service is tailored to your unique situation. From one-on-one therapy to
school-wide consultation, my work is always grounded in evidence and compassion.

Learning & Academic Support

Support for children and adolescents experiencing learning difficulties,
attention challenges, or academic underperformance. Includes psycho-
educational assessment, tailored intervention plans, and ongoing progress monitoring.
Family & Parental Counselling

Strengthening family relationships, improving communication, and empowering parents with practical tools and strategies. A safe, non-judgemental space for families to reconnect and grow together.
School Consultation

Working directly with schools, educators, and learning support teams to develop individualised support plans (ISPs), inclusive practices, and staff training for students with diverse learning needs.
Play Therapy & Psychotherapy

A safe, expressive space for children to process emotions, trauma, anxiety, and social challenges through the natural language of play. For adolescents and adults, individual psychotherapy addresses deeper emotional and psychological needs.

Our Therapeutic Styles

Every child and family is different.

Therefore, the one-size-fits-all approach does not apply.

Solution-Focused

Rather than dwelling solely on problems, we look toward your strengths and possibilities. Together, we build practical, empowering strategies that create real momentum and lasting growth.
Family-Systems Aware

Children thrive within relationships. I consider the whole family ecosystem parents, siblings, schools, and community in crafting support plans that truly stick.
Culturally Sensitive

Dubai's rich multicultural fabric shapes each family's experience uniquely. I specialise in supporting families navigating cultural transition, identity, and adjustment with sensitivity and care.
Mediation for Families in Transition

Compassionate, neutral support for families navigating separation,
divorce, or significant life change, with a focus on children's wellbeing
and healthy co-parenting arrangements.

What We Do

Child & Adolescent Therapy

Individual sessions for children and teens navigating anxiety, emotional difficulties, behavioural challenges, or life transitions. Tailored to your child's age and personality.
Educational & Emotional Assessments

A comprehensive evaluation to understand how your child thinks, learns, and processes. Includes a written report with school recommendations and exam accommodation letters
Play
Therapy

For children aged 3–12, play is the language of therapy. Sessions are structured, purposeful, and powerful, parents often see shifts within the first bundle of 6 sessions.
Parental Support & Guidance

You don't have to figure this out alone. I work with parents to build practical strategies, improve communication, and create a home environment where children can thrive.
Family Counselling & Mediation

Support for families going through separation, divorce, or major change, with a steady, neutral focus on healthy co-parenting and children's long-term wellbeing.
School Consultation

I work directly with teachers and school teams to build coordinated support plans, bridging the gap between what happens in therapy and what happens in the classroom
