Professional Experience

Hima Mammen is a UK-trained and Dubai licensed counselling psychologist who is specialized in Family Therapy. She has over 10 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families and works with ages ranging from 12 and above.

Hima received her training in Systemic Psychotherapy from King’s College, London. She is keen on understanding one’s family of origin and early experiences.

Hima trained with the NHS, in London to provide early intervention in psychosis and in psycho-oncology at HealthCare Global, to assist families through cancer. Hima has an MSc in Counselling Psychology, a Bachelor’s in Psychology, Literature and Media Studies, and a Post Graduate Diploma in Women’s health, and Sexuality.

Hima is trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Analytical Therapy (CAT). She continues to go through extensive training and supervision and has experience working in hospital, clinic and consular settings.

Hima is a member of the American Psychological Association, the Association for Marriage and Family Therapists, the Emirates Society for Mental Health and the Emirates Medical Association.

Hima’s approach to therapy focuses on establishing a space for self-reflection, exploration, and building narratives about past experiences. She is passionate about patterns of communication, couple’s attachment styles, and family dynamics.

She also advocates for the social inclusion and rehabilitation of patients experiencing clinical symptoms. A crisis is understood within the context of culture, circumstances, and relationships.

Hima uses evidence-based methods to address them. Her sessions would encourage curiosity about patterns in one’s life in a non-judgmental space. Treatment plans would be co-created with and will follow the pace of her clients.
