Heba Ahmed is a Counseling Psychologist with a strong foundation in evidence-based psychotherapy, psychometric assessment, and clinical research. She is committed to delivering empathetic, client-centred mental health care while integrating scientific rigor with cultural sensitivity across diverse populations. Currently practicing as a Counselling Psychologist, Heba delivers over 30 hours per week of individual psychotherapy through a digital healthcare platform, working extensively with concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, and adjustment-related difficulties. Her therapeutic approach draws primarily from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and mindfulness-based interventions. Beyond individual therapy, she actively contributes to mental health accessibility by designing and facilitating support groups, webinars, and workshops, and by creating regular psychoeducational content in the form of blogs and videos. She also collaborates closely with psychiatrists to ensure integrated and ethically aligned care, while contributing to organisational growth through client demonstrations, hiring panels, and team-building initiatives. Prior to this role, Heba maintained a private practice where she worked with adults (18+) in online therapy settings, addressing emotional distress, interpersonal challenges, self-esteem concerns, and mood disorders. She is fluent in English, Malayalam, and Hindi, allowing her to offer culturally responsive care to a wide range of clients. Heba brings substantial experience from large-scale digital mental health platforms, having served as a Psychologist and Expert Consultant with another online platform. During her tenure, she conducted over 1,500 hours of therapy for clients aged 18 to 65, including comprehensive assessments, diagnosis, crisis intervention, and safety planning for individuals at high risk. She also played a key role in providing lay-off and organisational transition support to employees of partner companies, overseeing session quality, assessing clinical risk, and offering structured feedback to ensure high standards of care. Her work was recognised with the Emerging Star Award, reflecting her clinical competence and professional impact. In addition to clinical practice, Heba has a strong background in psychometrics and research. She contributed to international and India-specific projects including the WMS-5, BSID, and Vineland-3, with a particular focus on cultural adaptation, test standardisation, and protocol quality review. Her expertise includes psychometric principles, data management, and collaboration with global R&D teams, and she provided subject-matter expertise for the Malayalam adaptation of the Vineland-3 (India). Her early clinical training spans multiple hospital and community settings, including crisis counselling, where she worked with suicidal and high-risk individuals using structured crisis intervention models such as QPR. Her internships at government and private mental health institutions provided hands-on experience with neurodevelopmental disorders, inpatient psychiatry, psychological testing, case history analysis, Mental Status Examinations, and exposure to a wide range of therapeutic and psychiatric interventions. Heba holds a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology, graduating with distinction. Born and raised in the UAE, her academic and professional journey reflects a global perspective grounded in cultural awareness. Through her work, Heba aims to create a therapeutic space that balances structure with attunement, evidence with empathy, and professionalism with genuine human connection - supporting individuals not only in symptom reduction, but in meaningful and sustainable personal growth.
