    My healing approach centers around “Pranic Healing”, a modality that uses energy to address physical and psychological challenges\.
    \<span class="show\-more"\>Show More\</span\>
    \<span id="more" class="hidden"\>In Pranic healing, the technique which is used to heal the psychological challenges is called ‘Pranic Psychotherapy’\. This is a non\-touch, energy\-based healing modality that, unlike talk therapy, involves minimal verbal communication\.

At the start of the session, the client can briefly share their concerns or challenges, and the remainder of the session will take place in silence through healing with energy\.

Pranic healing can be offered either in person or from a distance, with the same powerful results, because energy transcends physical boundaries\. Wherever you are, the energy can reach you\.

I love the profound impact of Pranic healing, as it supports healing on both physical and psychological levels and often opens up new doors for clients, transforming their entire perspective on life\.

I was initially introduced to pranic healing 20 years ago when I took my first lesson\. However, I have been practicing it regularly as a healer over the past 10 years\.

Academically, I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychological Counseling and Guidance and a master’s degree in Strategic Marketing\.

Many years ago, while I was on the path of becoming a psychologist, I realized that holistic and psycho\-spiritual approaches resonated more deeply with my soul’s purpose\. This led me to ultimately continue my path as a healer\.

Having been fascinated by Esoteric wisdom, Transpersonal psychology, and the spiritual teachings of diverse cultures, I have come to cultivate a comprehensive understanding of the human constitution as a healer\. I am grateful for my life experiences, too\. They have all led me to develop a better understanding of those whom I work with\.

I’ve always admired the profound impact of deep, inner psychological work, which inspired my vision for Bright Shift, a space where clients can benefit from both evidence\-based psychological support and a holistic approach\.

Some of the challenges that can be healed through my work with Pranic healing include: depression, stress and anxiety, insomnia, chronic and psychosomatic pains, medically unexplained symptoms, burn\-out, panic attacks, anger management issues, grief and loss, trauma and post traumatic disorders, helping those who are seeking a new sense of meaning and purpose to regain hope and direction\.

My healing sessions at Bright Shift are being offered online through the Zoom app and you can receive them from the comfort of your home\. Duration of each session is 40 minutes long\.\</span\>

    I am a holistic somatic and energy healing therapist, with a foundation in deep psychology and transpersonal counselling\.
    \<span class="show\-more"\>Show More\</span\>
    \<span id="more" class="hidden"\>My energy\-focused work integrates energetic healing with the human dimensions of mind, body, and spirit, placing particular emphasis on somatic tracking and intervention, and energy alignment as the principal gateways to deep, and integrated healing\.

I was trained and educated in the United Kingdom, earning a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and a Diploma in Life Coaching from the Institute of Psychosynthesis in London, as well as a degree in Psychology from Middlesex University\. I am also a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy \(BACP\)\.

While my approach is grounded in Psychosynthesis Psychology—a framework that honours the depths and breadth of our individual and collective psychospiritual and energetic wounding, as well as the promise of our potential—what truly defines my work is my holistic and transdisciplinary practice, which integrates embodied somatic work and energy healing\. I believe that sustainable transformation must involve not only insight and understanding but also a reconnection with the intelligence of our body, our inner compass, and the subtle movements of energy within us, and eventually our intentional intervention and participation in managing and directing the flow of energy within us, which can bring about lasting change and evolution in our lives\.

I support adults navigating a wide range of challenges: from stress, anxiety, and depression to childhood trauma, narcissistic wounds, relational difficulties, cultural integration, war trauma, cultural disorientation, disconnection, and the struggles of expat and emigrant realities, as well as loss, bereavement, and grief, mid\-life transitions, and spiritual or existential crisis\. I also work with individuals facing creative blocks, moral and ethical dilemmas, and chronic or terminal illness\.

My holistic energy healing sessions include brief talking phases at the start, middle, and end of each session\. These create space to set intentions for your process, identify, name, and anchor your experiences and shifts during the session, and allow me to support you in uncovering meaning within your process\. Sessions incorporate gentle and subtle body movements, guided visualisations, and breathing techniques, as well as emotional flow, expression, and integration, all of which I guide you through\.

Each session lasts 60 minutes and can be offered in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic\.
