Hi, I am Athary, a licensed psychotherapist. My psychotherapy practice has a diverse client base ranging from adolescents to adults including couple and family counselling.
I assist people with a range of well-being concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, major mental illness diagnoses including bipolar affective disorder and major depression, adjustment /life transition issues, body image/food relationship concerns, grief and loss, peri/post-natal concerns, and stress management.
I enjoy working in a multicultural environment with different backgrounds. My 14 years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy in New Zealand and Middle Eastern countries such as Kuwait, Dubai, Oman, and Qatar have helped me in my therapeutic practice with my clients.
I understand that life has many challenges. Asking for help is very difficult, but I think it’s also a sign of courage and strength. As humans, we can suffer greatly from emotional turmoil, but I am confident that with the right support, we have the ability to live well.
