FAQ
In my approach, I blend solution-focused coaching, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and design thinking, all infused with a big dose of empathy and a strong focus on achieving goals.
I believe in the power of actions, experimentation, and relearning. We don't just reflect; we plan and practice new, beneficial habits that you can use anytime a new challenge arises. This way, the change will truly be long-lasting. Let’s meet in person in Abu Dhabi or connect online, wherever you’re located.​

01
Is counseling for me?
Think about counseling as a mental support system: like a mental gym or spa in your life, providing a space to strengthen your mind and find mental relaxation. It helps you build resilience, develop coping strategies, and enhance your overall mental well-being.
If you're unsure of your path, want to handle anxiety and stress, or seek lasting positive change, I'll provide a safe and supportive environment to help you gain control and achieve a positive outlook.
03
What to expect on the 1st session?
​Before our first session, we'll have a short, free discovery chat/call to discuss your challenges and how I work. If we decide to work together, in the first session we'll chat about what's been bothering you, set some goals, and share a bit of your background. Together, we'll create a plan and learn some basic techniques to get started, along with a few exercises for you to try out. It's all about getting comfortable and setting the stage for your therapy journey.
05
Does counseling really work? How?
These techniques are simple yet very effective because they teach us how to think in a more helpful way. Solution-focused coaching helps us build on what's working, rather than dwelling on what isn't. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a proven, effective treatment for changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, with research showing 75% of people experiencing significant improvement. All of these require mindfulness, and we can all benefit from the playful, creative approach of design thinking.

02
What does counseling look like?
It's a solution-focused process where we set clear, achievable goals and recognize your strengths and past successes. We'll change thinking patterns and behaviors using techniques like recognizing thought distortions, problem-solving, facing fears, and learning relaxation. Together, we'll create practical action plans and I'll provide ongoing support with regular check-ins to celebrate progress and make adjustments.
04
How many sessions do I need?
The number of sessions can vary based on individual needs and goals. Typically, the counseling process involves around 5 to 15 sessions. We'll discuss your specific situation during our initial discovery call and tailor the number of sessions to best suit your needs and objectives.
06
How much do I need to invest - time and costs?
Depending on your goals, we usually meet in Abu Dhabi or online weekly or biweekly for 60-minute sessions. As progress is made, clients may opt to check in monthly, with a recommended follow-up session a few months after our initial work together.
I offer different packages for my clients, prices start from 500 AED per session.
