I believe therapy is a space where you can come as you are, without having to have all the answers.
Life can leave us carrying things we don’t always have the words for: patterns we keep repeating, relationships we struggle to navigate, emotions we don’t understand, or experiences that have shaped the way we see ourselves and others.
As a Registered Psychotherapist, I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and compassion.
My work is grounded in the belief that healing is not simply about “fixing” what feels difficult, but about developing a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships, your experiences, and the patterns that may be influencing the way you move through life.
My own experiences of growing up in Tanzania, living in multicultural environments such as Tanzania and Malaysia, spending many years as an international student, and moving between different places and communities have shaped the way I understand identity, belonging, culture, and life transitions.
I know that adapting to a new environment can involve much more than simply adjusting to a new place. It can mean navigating changing relationships, expectations, identity, and a sense of home.
These experiences have also deepened my belief that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.
Our culture, family, relationships, values, faith, and life experiences all influence how we understand ourselves and the world around us.
My therapeutic approach draws from
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
- Attachment-based and trauma-informed approaches
- Mindfulness
- Relationship-focused therapies
Education
- Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology
- Postgraduate Diploma in Addictions and Mental Health Counselling
- Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology
I also incorporate Gottman-informed approaches and Prepare/Enrich when working with couples and individuals preparing for marriage.
I work with individuals and couples navigating concerns such as anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, communication, life transitions and emotional well-being.
For clients who wish to incorporate faith into their therapeutic journey, I strive to create a space where faith and mental health can be held together with care and respect.
Most importantly, I want therapy to be a place where you feel
- heard rather than judged,
- understood rather than defined by your struggles,
- and supported rather than told who you should be.
You don’t have to navigate everything alone.
Sometimes healing begins with simply having a safe place to be heard.
Book a ConsultationThe Amaan logo was designed to reflect the harmony between faith, culture and healing.
The letter M carries the subtle form of the Arabic letter ‘meem’ (م), while the N mirrors the ‘noon’ (ن), a nod to the name Amaan written in Arabic (أمان), meaning peace, safety, and trust.
This visual joining of Arabic and English isn’t just aesthetic, it symbolizes connection: between cultures, between faith and psychology, and between who we are and who we’re becoming.
Just as the letters flow into one another, Amaan represents a space where different parts of one’s identity come together in a safe space.
