MEET OUR PSYCHOLOGIST

Shabna Manaf

Senior Psychologist

Clinical approach is primarily grounded in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy—a modality that explores unconscious emotional patterns, early relational experiences, and internal conflicts that shape present-day thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. Through this lens, she supports individuals in developing deeper psychological insight, emotional resilience, and meaningful personal change.

In addition to Psychodynamic work, she incorporates Clinical Hypnotherapy and integrative counselling techniques where appropriate, enabling clients to access deeper levels of emotional processing and cognitive restructuring. This integrative approach allows for both reflective exploration and targeted therapeutic intervention.

Her work follows a depth-oriented and evidence-informed approach to psychological care. With advanced academic training in psychology and specialized certification in clinical hypnotherapy, her practice integrates contemporary psychological science with insight-oriented therapeutic methods.
