About me
I am Dr.Aisha, a counselor psychologist with nine years’ experience in dealing with adult psychological problems. I've worked with clients with mental health issues, including mood disorders, attachment issues, and relationship problems. I've also used different treatment approaches that have been scientifically proven to be effective for certain problems, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, positive psychology, and dialectical behavioural therapy. Establishing therapeutic goals with the client, then progressing through homework, psych education, and skill development, I was able to nurture a more fulfilling life for my clients/patients. As a counselor, I strive to be a sincere, caring and empathetic person who makes the process of counseling as enjoyable and comfortable as possible for clients.

My therapeutic approach
Since most of my clients lack motivation due to their mental health issues, I am very assertive and punctual in my work. This was accomplished by using a variety of skills.
My communication approach
Basically based on acceptance and empathy, dealing with client by accepting him as a person with no judgment is a key of my work. Trying to encourage open and honest communication by creating a safe and supportive space, treat the client with respect and value their individuality, and together we work upon setting goals and develop solutions.

Reviews
Friendliness of your therapist 😁
In therapy sessions, I aim to strike a balance between friendliness and professionalism. While I maintain a warm and welcoming demeanor with my patients, I also uphold the boundaries of the therapeutic relationship.
Assertiveness
I believe in setting clear boundaries from the beginning of the therapeutic relationship, outlining expectations for behavior and participation in sessions. However, I also understand the importance of flexibility and adaptation, as each person's needs and comfort levels vary.

Understanding of UAE culture
Having fascinating aspects such as Arabic coffee, which is a symbol of hospitality, the culture is mostly shaped by aspects of Islam such as dress code, greetings, and a sense of respect. In spite of UAE's globalization and focus on tolerance and accepting, they retain certain rooted cultural values that they have managed to preserve over the years.
Understanding of UAE social mentality
There is a blend of tradition and modernity in the UAE's social mentality. Family and community playing an important role. Taking care of elders and maintaining close family ties form the foundation of this society. A more indirect and respectful approach is often preferred to direct confrontation, with communication being less confrontational, a lot depends on non-verbal cues and body language. It is crucial to understand these nuances in order to navigate social interactions effectively.
Understanding of UAE unique challenges
Despite the many advantages of expat life in the UAE, there are also some challenges, including adjusting to a new culture, language, and social norms, as well as feeling homesick and isolated, which are common at the beginning. In addition, you will need to find an appropriate place to stay. The UAE can be more expensive than some other nations despite not being the most expensive in the world. There can be hidden costs associated with groceries, eating out, and entertainment.
Understanding of UAE expats life
Being an expat in the UAE can be a rewarding and enriching experience. Adapting to a new culture has forced me to push myself out of my comfort zone, making me more open-minded and resourceful. UAE's melting pot of cultures allows expats to make friends from around the globe, and the booming economy offers many career opportunities that provide great opportunities for everyone. Nevertheless, navigating local customs and feeling homesick can be challenging.
