About

Influential consultant psychologist and psychometrician, holder of a Master’s in Mental Health and an Honorary Doctorate, with 14+ years of experience in psychotherapy, psychometrics, and addiction rehabilitation across the MENA region. I work from a Person-Centered Therapy approach, grounded in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. I believe individuals have an innate capacity for growth, healing, and self-understanding when provided with a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space. My objective is to foster genuine therapeutic relationships that empower clients to explore their experiences, reconnect with their inner strengths, and achieve meaningful, sustainable psychological change at their own pace.

" My session with Dr. Ammar was very positive experience. He is highly professional, knowledgeable, and well-educated. He created a comfortable and supportive space that made it easy to talk openly."

"It's rare to find psychologist. You can open up to him from the first session, but that was my experience with Dr Ammar. thank you so much "

"All my life I thought psychotherapy was nonsense and that it was impossible for someone's condition to change just by talking to someone else. But honestly, when I talked to Dr. Ammar, the situation changed completely."

"I want to thank Dr. Ammar for his wonderful way of explaining the feelings that I couldn't understand and how to deal with them. I truly understood myself much better after the first session."
