I’m a Schema Therapy and CBT/REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy) psychotherapist, and instructor for the College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CCBT, UK) in Lebanon, with 9 years of experience in my field. My speciality is individual adult therapy. I’ve lived most of my life in the UK, where I gained a B.Sc and a M.Sc in Psychology, as well as an Advanced Integrative degree in CBT/REBT. Lately I moved back to Beirut, where I now live and practice. I’m a Full Member in the International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST), as well as an Accredited Member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), UK. I believe in a compassionate and action-oriented approach when working with emotional problems. Depending on the person and their unique challenges in life, I will have recourse to an integrative approach bringing together elements from cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment and object relations theories, and Gestalt and experiential therapies. Some of my main areas of expertise are: • Emotional problems such as anxiety, depression, hurt, anger, guilt, shame, jealousy, and envy • Anxiety disorders e.g. social anxiety, health anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder • Dermatologically-related emotional problems e.g Psoriasis, Trichotillomania (hair-pulling) and Skin-picking • Problems with low self-esteem and confidence • Relational problems such as with partners, friends and family members • Maladaptive coping strategies carried from childhood patterns • Goal achievement problems Since moving to Lebanon, I’ve been teaching REBT in affiliation with the College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, UK (CCBT) as well as actively giving workshops on different subjects related to REBT.
