From the moment of birth until death, people have a deep motive to improve and grow.
I completed my specialist training of Neuropsychiatry from Assuit Univeristy Hospital, Egypt in 2016. I started working as a Psychiatric Specialist in Assuit Hospital for Mental Health and Addiction Treatment. My responsibilities included conducting patients assessments of mental emotional and behavioural disorders, developing comprehensive management plans, prescribing medications, providing individual and group psychotherapy and delivering training programs for junior doctors of adults department.
In 2018 I was promoted to the Head of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit at Assuit Mental Health Hospital, Assiut City, Egypt. I was solely accountable for the management and operations of the child and adolescent unit including outpatient clinics, individual psychotherapy, group therapy for children and adolescent, parenting programmes as well as supervision and training the medical personnel (Doctors, nurses, psychologists and social workers).
From 2019 to 2021, I was collaborating with General Secretariat of Mental Health and Addiction Treatment in the ADHD awareness annual campaign for school teachers, students and parents. I was a key member of their induction course teaching the Physicians and relative personnel.
I initiated (Khuyut), a new group therapy programme for adolescent emotional and behavioral disorders. The programme is accredited by General Secretariat of Mental Health and Addiction Treatment (GSMHAT) Egypt. Leading the team to deliver the programme to seven mental hospitals belongs to GSMHAT, Egypt.
In 2020, I received my license as a group therapist with the Four step integrative model, after three years of study, training and practicing.
In addition I received a license as a Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) essential skills trainer.
I have a patient first approach and have a passion to deliver high quality compassionate care with attention to detail for my patients. I look forward to developing the AWC Group Therapy offering.
