Ms Amatulla Lokhandwala, MA

Licensed Psychologist

“Hi, I’m Amatulla , and have experience providing counseling and case management services to children, adults, and senior citizens since 8 years. Have been working with a variety of issues, including grief and loss, trauma, and adjustment/life changes and addictions, I provide clinical assessments for diagnosis (DSM-5)”

About Me

With almost a decade of experience, I guide children, adults, and seniors through life’s significant challenges. I support individuals and families navigating grief, trauma, adjustment, and addictions. My work includes careful clinical assessments for diagnosis, helping us understand your unique path. I aim to create a safe, understanding space where all ages can find stability and new ways forward.

Approach

Careful listening leads into a concise diagnostic evaluation that shapes how I tailor each session. I work in English with clients in Kuwait and online, creating a predictable, respectful space where we track progress together. Sessions move at a steady, practical pace—short-term skill practice, values-focused reflection, and occasional questionnaires inform our next steps, with brief exercises between meetings to build momentum. This approach suits individuals and families seeking clear, steady support through life’s difficult transitions.
