Psychological Counselor
Alia AlBahri
Bridging clinical precision with spiritual grounding, for women ready to heal.
The Founder
Her Story
Some women come to Alia having carried their pain quietly for years, through marriages, motherhood, loss, and the pressure of holding everyone else together. She knows that weight. Not just professionally, but as a woman who has lived it.
Alia's personal story will be shared here once provided.
For over 20 years, Alia AlBahri has specialised in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, working with women and girls to untangle the patterns that keep them stuck and replace them with something that actually holds. She is a mother of four, which means she understands the particular complexity of a woman's inner world: the guilt, the expectations, the love that sometimes exhausts.
Her sessions are warm, structured, and deeply private. No jargon. No judgment. Just a space where real change becomes possible.
Certified by the British Board, holding diplomas in CBT, trauma therapy, and child and adolescent counselling, with over 1,000 counselling hours and 2,000 training hours delivered across Dubai. She founded Al Yasmine Center for one reason: every woman deserves access to a mind that is finally at peace.
The first step toward lasting change starts with booking your session.
