Psychosocial Practitioner – Children & Adolescents I am a Psychology graduate and psychosocial practitioner with experience supporting children and adolescents in educational and therapeutic settings. I currently work with CIPPO, where I provide in-school and one-to-one psychosocial support, helping students develop emotional regulation, social skills, confidence, and coping strategies that support both their well-being and academic success. My approach is child-centered and practical. I focus on creating a safe and supportive environment where children and teenagers feel comfortable expressing themselves while learning healthy ways to manage emotions, build resilience, and strengthen communication skills. I integrate social-emotional learning (SEL) strategies with academic support to address the whole child. I hold a dual Bachelor’s degree in Psychology (Honors) from London South Bank University and The British University in Egypt. My academic training included developmental psychology, counseling psychology, psychological assessment, and research methods, providing a strong foundation for working with young people and understanding their developmental needs. In addition to my psychosocial work, I have experience in education and special education. I worked in the United States as a substitute teacher and paraprofessional across multiple schools, teaching and supporting students in general education and special education classrooms. I also participated in the TeachStart program and was selected for the SELF (Special Education Leader Fellowship), where I developed skills in inclusive education, classroom management, and supporting diverse learners. I am currently completing training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which further strengthens my ability to help children and adolescents manage anxiety, emotional challenges, and behavioral difficulties. My goal is to support young people in building emotional awareness, confidence, and practical life skills that help them thrive both in school and in everyday life.
