About Bishoy

Clinical depth. Practical momentum. Lived understanding.

For over a decade I have supported people through addiction, mental health challenges and neurodiversity, helping them build the life they want beyond any label.

My approach begins with firsthand experience of recovery. Alongside it sits more than 10,000 hours of one-to-one clinical work. I'm completing an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy at Birkbeck, University of London, and hold the CCAR Certified Recovery Coach qualification.

What I offer is the depth of understanding why patterns keep repeating and the required tools to change it.

I work with adults from every background and walk of life, professionals and students, parents and partners. Most people I see simply come for weekly sessions, in person or online. For those who need more, there's an intensive option, up to round-the-clock support. You don't have to be at breaking point, and you don't have to have it all worked out first.

One practice. Insight and action, together.

You shouldn't have to choose between understanding why something is happening and doing something about it.

Client Experiences

In their words.

"

Before working with Bishoy, my life was unmanageable. From the beginning I felt safe, understood and supported. I can think more clearly and am far more resilient. If someone had asked whether I could ever have this new way of life, I would never have believed them.

Private Client, LondonAddiction Recovery
"

I came to Bishoy completely depleted after years of pushing hard professionally. What I found was someone who understood both the clinical side of what I was experiencing and the practical reality of the life I was living. He helped me rebuild, slowly and properly, from the inside out.

I had been through rehab twice before I found Bishoy. What was different this time wasn't just the sobriety. I finally understood myself. Two years on, I'm still using everything he taught me.

Common Questions

Asked quietly, answered honestly.

Do you work with clients in Dubai, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf?

Yes. Clients across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain work with me through secure online sessions in English or Arabic, and many meet me in person during time in London.

Do you offer therapy in Arabic?

Yes — everything I offer (psychotherapy, recovery coaching, family support) is available fully in Arabic or English. Being heard in your own language often changes what the work can reach.

How confidential is this, really?

Completely. Discretion is the foundation of the practice. No waiting rooms, no shared records, and options for phone-only or off-site sessions for anyone who needs them.

What is 24/7 live-in support?

An intensive arrangement where I provide around-the-clock therapeutic and recovery support in the UK, or internationally on request, built entirely around one client. It can be an alternative to residential rehab, or the bridge that makes recovery hold afterwards.

What does working together cost?

Fees depend on the structure of the work, weekly sessions, an intensive programme, or live-in support. Everything begins with a confidential conversation, with no obligation beyond it.
