Our professional team
Aaiz Ahmed Rasheed
Chief PsychologistTitle and Qualifications: Aaiz is the Chief Psychologist, armed with a Bachelor’s (Honors) in Psychology and a Master of Science in Psychology (Clinical). His academic journey has led him through the intricate landscapes of psychodynamic schools of therapy and beyond.
Areas of Interest: Aaiz’s interests are as diverse as they are intriguing. From psychosocial advocacy to group therapy for non-clinical populations, he’s a multifaceted professional. And when anxiety knocks, he turns to old Hindi movie scripts and Dhivehi poems—a coping strategy that’s both unique and effective.
Favorite Quotes: Aaiz finds wisdom in Camus (“If something is going to happen to me, I want to be there”), Freud (“If youth knew, if age could”), and Nietzsche (“You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?”).
Fathina Ahmed Khaleel
CounselorQualification: Fathina holds a Master of Counselling and is a seasoned counselor. Her expertise spans a wide range of areas, making her a versatile guide for those seeking emotional support. Whether it’s managing anger, navigating anxiety, improving communication, or addressing relationship issues, Fathina brings empathy and skill to her practice.
Fun Fact: Fathina’s journey from cat-phobic to cat mummy is a delightful transformation. Who would have thought that houseflies would be her unexpected nemesis? It’s a quirky twist in her life story!
Meaningful Quote: Paulo Coelho’s wisdom resonates with her: “Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.” And then there’s Elbert Hubbard’s playful reminder: “Don’t take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.” A perfect blend of introspection and humor.
Aishath Sha’aa Shameem
General ManagerTitle and Qualifications: Aishath wears the hat of a General Manager. She’s currently pursuing an MSc in Counselling, holds a PGCert in Positive Psychology, and has a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. Her academic journey reflects a commitment to understanding human behavior and promoting mental well-being.
Interests: Aishath’s passion lies in research, ethics within psychology and counseling, and driving mental health reform. But what truly sets her apart is her innovative approach—she weaves little songs about big feelings. Perhaps Catthew and Mavis, her feline companions, inspire these lyrical musings!
Meaningful Quote: Aishath draws strength from Viktor Frankl’s words: “If there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be a meaning in suffering.” Her work likely reflects this belief—that even in pain, growth and purpose can emerge.
