About ME

I am  a  Psychologist, Life  Coach, and  Educationist who is  passionate  about  helping individuals build resilience and overcome  life-long stress challenges. Ever since I was young, I’ve been fascinated by understanding what drives people and how they can be supported  to  overcome  life’s  challenges. My  journey  began  over 18  years  ago  in Human Resources (HR). Working closely with individuals from various backgrounds, I soon   realized  that  my  true  passion  lay   beyond  HR —  it  was  in  helping  people transform their lives on a deeper level.

This realization  motivated me to pursue an educational path that would equip  me to make a  meaningful  impact. I started with an  MSc in Clinical  Psychology,  immersing myself  in  the  complexities  of  the  human  mind.  Then, I  continued  with  an MSc in Counselling Psychology, enhancing my skills with numerous courses on psychotherapy and  self - development.  As  Imam  Al - Ghazali  said,  “Knowledge  without  action  is wastefulness  and  action  without  knowledge  is foolishness.”  This  belief  led me to constantly  seek improvement, and  eventually, I  pursued a PhD in  Psychology  with a specialization in  Behavioral  Neuroscience. My  goal was to understand mental health holistically — considering the brain, physical limitations, and socioeconomic factors.

I’ve  always  had  a  deep  passion  for   community  service, particularly  working  with children and individuals who have faced childhood trauma.Engaging with multicultural communities  around  the  world  has  given  me  a diverse  and  enriched  perspective, further solidifying my commitment to making a difference. Every experience reminded me of the words of Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya: “The comfort of the soul lies in rising after it falls.” These words inspire my work, pushing me to create impactful change in the lives of those who need it most.

In my professional journey, I founded Bani Consultants, an online hub dedicated to life coaching and research. With Allah’s blessings, I was honoured to be recognized as the “CEO of the Year 2023” in the  Middle  East by  MEA Markets  and also to  receive  the title of “Psychological Consultancy of 2024.”  These  achievements are milestones in a journey that I am grateful for every day.

Outside  of  my  work,  I  find  joy  in  restoring  old  furniture,  interior  designing,  and painting. I  love  trying  different  cuisines, but  my  heart  truly  belongs to coffee. I am blessed with a loving  husband and  wonderful  teenage  children, Alhamdolillah, who make my  life  extra  charming. I consider  myself a  resilient  woman  with  an eye  for finding beauty in  everything, and I  believe  that life, with all its  ups and downs, is a beautiful journey of growth and faith.
