Dana

Ms Dana Sarhan

Counselor

“An experienced counselor in diverse cultures in the MENA region. Works with adult individuals or couples. Also a Marriage and Family Therapist specialized in Relationships.”

About Me

I help couples and individuals navigate complex relationship and intimacy challenges. My experience across diverse cultures in the MENA region means I understand unique dynamics. We can explore communication patterns and build stronger connections together. I ensure our sessions are a respectful space where all voices are heard. This culturally sensitive approach is ideal for those seeking nuanced support to foster deeper understanding.

Approach

Rooted in attention to cultural context and respect, I guide couples and individuals through practical, person-centered steps that address intimacy, communication and safety. In Beirut or online, in Arabic or English, sessions move at a collaborative pace—brief check-ins, deeper explorations and focused skills practice tailored to your rhythm. We gently approach difficult memories or anxieties, practice concrete communication and sensory grounding, and use reflective between-session tasks to shift patterns around body image, desire and trust. This way of working suits those seeking steady, respectful change that honours identity.
