How can a psychologist help me?

A counseling psychologist helps clients through talk therapy. The therapist works on building a trust bond between himself and the client in order for them to open up about distressing issues in their lives. Psychotherapy provides a clear mind for one to identify their patterns of relating, and communicating. A psychologist also provides tools of skills that help individuals deal with their daily struggles. Psychotherapists also help clients identify their strengths that they can use to manage and overcome their problems.

Which psychologist should I see?

You should seek a Psychologist who is trained and has professional expertise in the area which you are struggling with. It is important to ask your Psychologist about their work experience and their training in treating individuals with similar issues to yours. Further, the relationship between therapist and client is key to achieving healing hence it is crucial that you examine the connection with your therapist on the first few sessions. The connection can be irrelevant to the therapist’s skills. Counseling is a relationship between a Psychologist and a client hence they must have a good connection. That helps the client feel safe and open up about their issues.

What will a psychologist ask me?

Most of the questions will tend to be easy, open-ended focused on expanding the conversation and obtaining a general idea of your life. Questions will typically focus on what’s brought you to therapy, whether you have been to therapy before, your point of view on the problem and how it developed, some information about your childhood and your goals of the therapy.

Clinical Philosophy

Traditional psychodynamic therapy engages the cognitive architecture—processing narrative, insight, defense mechanisms, and relational frameworks. However, profound psychological resolution remains incomplete when the body is isolated from the analytical process. Severe anxiety, complex trauma, chronic stress, and compulsive behavioral cycles are physically encoded within the nervous system and somatic tissue.

At BE Psychology Center, I integrate psychodynamic psychotherapy with dance and movement therapy. Through this synthesis, we bridge analytical depth with somatic processing—bypassing intellectualized defenses, accessing unspoken emotional memory, regulating autonomic dysregulation, and establishing sustainable psychological integration.

I struggled with finding a therapy style that suited me so finding Reem was a relief, she tailored my therapy to me, rather than the other way around. Reem challenged me and pushed me when I needed it, but also let us work at a pace that I was comfortable at rather than a prescribed programme. I really cannot recommend Reem enough.

I visited Reem for the first time in November 2016. I was struggling with my behavioral addiction for years. I was desperate, full of shame, overwhelmed with self-loathing, and depressed. After two and a half years in therapy, I’m now hopeful and willing to embrace the change, as I finally learned how to forgive, accept, love, and be myself. During my recovery journey Reem was supportive, compassionate, and a very patient therapist. She would never limit her support to the sessions. Recovery is yet to conclude; it’s a life-long journey that requires persistence and self-awareness. But it also becomes possible when someone have the right support from people who care. I’m hopeful, as I’m confident that someone will always be there for me.
