Yahia Ghaleb

“I believe therapy is, above all, a genuine human encounter. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and understood, and I strive to create a safe space where clients can explore their inner worlds, navigate life’s difficulties, and move towards a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling to them.”

I am currently pursuing an MSc in Clinical Psychology at the University of Birmingham Dubai. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from Coventry University and am a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS).

My developing therapeutic orientation is existential-humanistic, and my approach is evidence-based, person-centred and integrative. I work collaboratively with clients to support their individual needs and therapeutic goals.

My clinical experience includes training at Kasr Al Ainy Hospital and The Behman Hospital in Egypt, where I gained exposure to a broad range of psychological disorders and clinical presentations across psychiatric settings. At Kasr Al Ainy, I conducted supervised individual psychotherapy sessions, co-facilitated group therapy, and provided psychological first aid under supervision within psychiatric emergency services. At The Behman Hospital, I provided supervised supportive psychotherapy, received training in psychometric assessment, and gained experience within multidisciplinary inpatient services.

At Up Therapy & Wellbeing, I completed an intensive psychotherapy training program involving simulated therapy sessions and clinical supervision, developing my skills in integrative practice. I have also pursued further training in CBT for personality disorders, and advanced approaches to personality disorders through the Beck Institute and PESI.
