I am a certified Life Coach and Counsellor with over 150 hours of professional practice, in addition to 26 years of leadership experience in the IT industry. I trained at the Academy for Coaching and Counselling in the Netherlands and am a registered member of LVSC, the Dutch Association for Supervisors and Coaches. My training includes Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, Somatic Coaching, Transactional Analysis, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Alongside my formal qualifications, my personal journey of moving from Egypt to the Netherlands has given me a deep, lived understanding of the expat experience, cultural adjustment, and the pressures of balancing work and life in new environments.
I believe coaching and counselling should be a safe and supportive space where you can pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. My approach is gentle yet practical, a balance of empathy and actionable tools. Sessions with me are collaborative: we explore your challenges together and move at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you are dealing with stress, burnout, identity questions, or the complexities of life abroad, I aim to help you set healthy boundaries, rebuild confidence, and rediscover a sense of calm and direction. My work is not about quick fixes, but about creating sustainable change and resilience that you can carry into your daily life.
Originally from Egypt, I have made the Netherlands my home for many years. Having experienced the challenges of relocating, adapting to new cultures, and navigating demanding workplaces myself, I bring both professional expertise and personal insight to my coaching practice. I work with expats and professionals from different backgrounds and nationalities, supporting them through transitions, stress recovery, and personal growth. Outside of my work, I enjoy writing, connecting with people, and finding inspiration in new places and cultures.
I am an Egyptian-born, Netherlands-based certified coach and counsellor offering warm, non-judgemental support for adults. My integrative approach combines practical coaching tools with compassionate listening, helping expats and professionals manage stress, rebuild resilience, and embrace change with confidence. My special interests include stress and burnout recovery, cultural transition, identity and purpose exploration, and confidence building.
I offer counselling sessions online, making therapy accessible and flexible for clients wherever they are based.
