Namasté! My soul honors your soul… The divine in me honors the divine in you.
Hi, my name is Souhair. I am a counselor psychotherapist, systemic coach, emotional intelligence trainer and coach, and life coach. I have over 13 years of experience in the human empowerment and therapeutic/healing arenas. I practice both individual and couples’ therapy. I work with adults and late adolescents.
I believe all humans have inner guidance, intuition, wisdom and resilience. I am also a strong believer in human potential. Thus, I focus on inviting clients to get in touch and ignite these inner gifts to gain self-awareness and understanding of their inner and outer worlds. In turn, this gained personal insight would play an essential role and become a corner stone in their therapeutic journey, growth, maturity, and ultimate healing.
I follow an integrated psycho-spiritual-systemic approach. This is a blended method rooted in the psychodynamic, interpersonal and holistic schools of psychotherapy. A key focus is given to the adverse role of intergenerational and systemic patterns clients may have internalized or carried from their family systems; which in turn have been affecting their lives. With practice, I found that this approach is a powerful blend that facilitates getting to the root(s) of the challenge(s) clients struggle with. In most cases, complaints such as depression, anxiety, anger, panic attacks, lack of self-confidence, emotional eating, loose boundaries, mommy or daddy issues, or/and problems with romantic partners, are not the actual problems as verbalized by clients in therapy. With deep digging and exploration, followed by psychoeducation, insightful interpretations that link the dots together, clients discover that these complaints turn out to be symptoms of deeper wounds, dysfunctional patterns, limiting belief systems, and traumas their inner child would have suffered from for the longest time and did not have the opportunity, time or space to heal.
In my sessions, I create an environment that offers unconditional love,
compassion, respect, acceptance and presence blended with the right dose of reflective challenges that encourage clients to go outside their comfort zones for healthy growth and change to take place. This mix of factors help in building a strong trusting relationship between the client and myself. This kind of “therapeutic relationship,” is believed to play the biggest role in healing as it gives clients a “corrective emotional experience,” compared to the adverse experiences s/he may have faced growing up. This means that the client’s inner child would feel safe and secure enough to come out in session to be seen, heard, loved and accepted for the healing to take place.
I am a true believer in Carl Yung’s quote: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will control your life and you will call it fate.” My therapeutic approach lies in helping clients achieve this insightful transformation as it ultimately facilitates consistent change and powerful healing. Consequently, my work is focused on clients’ different systemic patterns, traumas, shadow self, defense mechanisms, dysfunctional beliefs, inner child wounds, and inner imbalance between their masculine and feminine energies. This entails very deep exploration. Thus, I invite clients to allow me to delve in deeper painful territories instead of focusing on their outer symptoms or dysfunctional behaviors only.
Prior to beginning my career as a psychotherapist, EQ and soft skills trainer and life coach, I worked for about 9 years as a marketing and public relations professional in various high caliber organizations in Jordan. In my last post in the corporate world, I realized that I have a bigger mission and a Divine life purpose. I was fortunate enough to be guided into defining my life purpose/ noble goal as: “To passionately foster inspirational support and empowerment.” Consequently, I decided to do a major career shift from the corporate world to the world of human empowerment in 2009.
Healing is a lifelong journey. I am mostly passionate about seeing each and every human live an authentic life that reflects his/her divine authentic self s/he was born with.
