Distance does not necessarily mean starting from somewhere else.
I offer online psychotherapy to people living outside Lebanon where professional and regulatory requirements allow. An initial consultation helps us consider your location, what brings you to therapy and whether online work is appropriate.
A space to speak from where you are
Living abroad can bring questions about migration, language, family, belonging or the experience of moving between different contexts. These may become part of the work, alongside other difficulties or questions you want to explore.
You do not need to be seeking therapy specifically because of migration. The starting point remains your own experience.
Language and cultural familiarity
For Lebanese and Arabic-speaking clients abroad, speaking in a familiar language may be an important part of choosing a therapist. Cultural references can enter the conversation without having to explain every detail.
At the same time, a shared background does not mean that your experience is already understood. I remain attentive to your particular history, relationships and way of making sense of your life.
Before arranging a session
Please share the country you will be in during sessions and your time zone when you contact me. We need to establish whether working together is professionally permissible and suitable before confirming ongoing appointments.
An online format is not automatically appropriate for every situation. The first consultation is a place to discuss what you need and whether this way of working can provide an appropriate therapeutic frame.
Preparing for an online session
Choose a private place where you can speak freely and are unlikely to be interrupted. A reliable connection and headphones, if helpful for privacy, can make the conversation easier.
The platform and joining details are agreed before the session. Google Meet or WhatsApp can be discussed, along with another platform you prefer. If we agree to use WhatsApp, I will expect your video or audio call at the scheduled time.
Scheduling and the first consultation
If we continue, sessions are generally arranged at a consistent weekly time. We agree the time with your location and time zone in mind. Consultation options, fees and availability are shared directly.
You can contact me on WhatsApp or request a preferred time through Appointlet. Calendar requests remain subject to confirmation. WhatsApp messages are for appointment enquiries and administrative communication; they are not an emergency or crisis service.
