Therapy can be a way to facilitate self-growth and understanding for both individuals dealing with specific or ongoing issues, or for those simply searching for guidance. Therapy can help individuals gain a sense of direction in life that will lead to a more meaningful and effective journey that is aligned with their values. 

Siham (Sisi) is a Clinical Psychologist and has been practicing as a psychologist since 2008.  Siham specialises in psychodynamic psychotherapy, an approach that explores how unconscious thoughts, early life experiences, and unresolved conflicts shape current emotional and behavioural patterns. Through this therapeutic model, Siham helps clients gain insight into the root causes of their struggles, facilitating long-term personal growth and emotional resilience. By working collaboratively, Siham guides clients in uncovering and addressing deeper issues, fostering meaningful change and healthier relationships with themselves and others. Her approach is empathetic, reflective, and focused on creating a safe space for exploration and healing.

Siham is particularly passionate about integrating Transpersonal Psychology into her therapeutic work. This approach goes beyond traditional psychological models by addressing the spiritual and existential aspects of the human experience. Siham believes that true healing and personal growth involve not only understanding the mind and emotions but also connecting to a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. She uses techniques such as mindfulness, guided meditation, and visualisation to help individuals explore their inner selves, expand their consciousness, and foster a sense of wholeness. Through this holistic approach, Siham supports clients in navigating life’s challenges by fostering self-awareness, cultivating inner peace, and connecting with their authentic selves. She sees Transpersonal Psychology as a powerful tool for individuals seeking a greater understanding of their life’s purpose and their place in the world.

Siham has experience in working with different challenges within interpersonal relationships (including romantic, workplace and familial), Personality Disorders (including, BPD, NPD), childhood and recent trauma, as well as emotional difficulties including anxiety (and phobias), depression, anger and stress.

Siham is also passionate about working with children and adolescents. Siham addresses issues such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and emotional regulation.  Siham also provides parental guidance by teaching parents psychoeducation to help them understand their child better, and give them tools to help their child outside the therapy room.

Siham is trained to use a variety of evidence-based therapy, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).

Siham has also presented publicly and published articles on various matters including intermarriage, peace-promoting bi-lingual education, parenting, and mindfulness.
