About Suha 
Suha is a Counsellor who specialises in working with two groups close to her heart — children, and women navigating some of life’s most tender transitions. With over 12 years of experience working with and for children — first as a Speech and Drama Educator, then in child psychology and development research, and now as a counsellor— she brings a deep, grounded understanding of how children grow, play, and heal. Alongside this, she is passionate about supporting women through experiences that are often carried in silence: pregnancy loss, miscarriage, and the complex emotional landscape of early motherhood. With a Master of Counselling, Suha brings warmth, genuine care, and a non-judgmental presence to every individual and family she works with.

Suha draws on a range of approaches in her work — including child-centred play therapy, sand-tray therapy, person-centred therapy, solution-focused techniques, cognitive behavioural therapy, and bereavement therapy. Rather than following a single method, she weaves these together thoughtfully depending on what each child or woman needs. Whether she is sitting with a child who struggles to find words, or a mother quietly grieving a loss the world rarely makes space for, Suha’s practice is rooted in the belief that healing happens when people feel truly safe and seen.

For the children she works with, Suha believes play is their most natural language — a space where they do not need to find the “right words” to be understood. For the women she supports, she recognises that experiences like pregnancy loss and postnatal struggles are often met with silence or well-meaning but insufficient comfort. These are real, profound losses — and they deserve a space that honours them fully. Suha brings to this work not only her clinical training and years of research in child and family development, but an understanding that goes beyond the professional — one shaped by her own journey through the seasons of womanhood and motherhood.

Before stepping into the therapy room, Suha spent years on the classroom stage — teaching Speech and Drama, writing screenplays, directing school concerts, and building real relationships with children, teachers, and parents. She also gained experience in research and community engagement through a corporate role in the public sector. These years shaped her into someone who knows how to meet children where they are and how to make families feel genuinely at ease.

Suha specialises in working with children and women — two populations she is drawn to both professionally and personally. Her own lived experiences have given her an intimate understanding of the emotional terrain her clients walk through, and it is this combination of professional training and personal insight that allows her to show up for her clients with both competence and compassion.
