Maha Asaad

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist and Wellbeing Counselor with over seven years of professional experience in educational and therapeutic settings. I currently work as a School Wellbeing Counselor in the UAE, where I provide individual and group counselling to adolescents, focusing on anxiety management, emotional regulation, self-esteem, academic stress, peer relationships, and behavioral concerns. Throughout my career, I have designed and implemented structured wellbeing intervention plans, conducted risk assessments, supported safeguarding cases, and collaborated closely with parents, teachers, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure holistic student support. I have extensive experience working with adolescents facing anxiety disorders, low mood, adjustment difficulties, attendance concerns, social challenges, and self-regulation difficulties. In addition to my clinical background, I am a Certified Wellbeing Coach and Mindfulness Practitioner. I integrate evidence-based techniques such as CBT-based strategies, growth mindset interventions, emotional awareness tools, and mindfulness practices into my sessions. I also deliver workshops and psychoeducational programs to promote resilience, positive coping skills, and mental wellbeing. My approach is client-centered, structured, and empathetic, with a strong focus on creating a safe and confidential therapeutic space that empowers individuals to develop insight, self-awareness, and practical coping strategies.
