Psychotherapy with Nardine Khalil | Therapy in Arabic & English

I specialise in working with individuals who struggle with identity issues due to psychosocial factors such as race, religion, politics, culture or language, as well as sexuality, gender and neurodiversity. Whether you are mixed race, a child of migrants, or simply feel like you don’t belong, I can help you explore your identity.

I integrate elements of psychodynamic psychotherapy alongside dramatherapy. That means that I use creative approaches to therapy and body movement to help us understand our unconscious processes and physical responses.

Sometimes clients find it easier to talk in their mother tongue and so I offer therapy in Arabic as well as English.

Working with Arabic Speaking Individuals in Therapy

As an Anglo-Arab who has lived in both cultures, I work with individuals who are looking for therapy that is informed about Arab culture and the different types of conflict whether it is about religion, politics, or social issues. I explore with you identity, belonging, attachment, trauma and loss. As an Arabic speaking therapist, clients are welcome to speak in English or Arabic or to combine both.
