Therapy Services in Arabic

Mental Health Matters

Mental health is just as important as physical health. It affects how we think, feel, and act, as well as how we handle stress, build relationships, and make decisions. Seeking support through therapy is a healthy and courageous step toward healing, growth, and self-understanding.

In many Arab communities, mental health can still carry stigma, and reaching out for help may feel difficult. Cultural expectations, family roles, or lack of access to culturally informed care can create additional barriers. That’s why having a therapist who understands your background can make all the difference.

Therapy in Arabic: Culturally Sensitive Support

Therapy in Arabic offers more than just language, it provides connection, comfort, and cultural understanding. Speaking in your native language allows for more honest and natural expression, and a deeper therapeutic connection. It also helps ensure that your beliefs, values, and experiences are truly heard and respected.

In Arab culture, family dynamics, social expectations, and traditions often shape how individuals experience and respond to mental health challenges. A culturally informed therapist can offer strategies that reflect your reality, whether that includes involving family, navigating community pressures, or honouring spiritual and personal values.

A Message from Me

I’m Fatema, your therapist. I speak Arabic and have a deep understanding of Arab culture. With a strong awareness of Arabic values, beliefs, and traditions, I aim to support you in exploring and resolving your concerns in a safe, respectful, and accepting environment.However, it is important to note that majority of our sessions will be conducted in English and Arabic, as I feel more comfortable and accurate expressing certain ideas in English. My ability to communicate in Arabic when needed, combined with cultural sensitivity, can offer a greater sense of trust, comfort, and understanding, leading to more effective therapeutic outcomes.

You are not alone, and your experiences are valid. I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward well-being.
