Looking for referrals at MBB/S&/OW/Kearney in their Dubai/Doha/Riyadh offices for my sister since she can’t join Fishbowl. She graduated from top Canadian uni (UofT/McGill/UBC), grew up in ME and has an impressive academic background and work experience. Happy to connect with her directly.

Any recommendations on a good therapist who can deal with issues around general anxiety, attachment, motivation etc. Looking for someone with credentials but can also act as a bit of a life coach.

Thanks in advance.
