Question 1

Does my child need to have a problem to join?

Accepted Answer

No. Most participants join simply because they want to understand themselves better and build practical skills. Nothing has to be wrong for this to be worth doing.

Question 2

Will they get a diagnosis or an intelligence score?

Accepted Answer

No. The tools used are exploratory and developmental. They are not used to diagnose anything or to measure intelligence, and no number is handed out at the end.

Question 3

Are the sessions really one-to-one?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every session is individual and online, so the eight weeks can be shaped around this participant’s age, needs and goals rather than a group average.

Question 4

Do parents attend?

Accepted Answer

There is a brief parent consultation at the start and another at the end. The eight sessions themselves are the young person’s own space, and what they share stays private — except where their safety is concerned.

Question 5

Which language is it delivered in?

Accepted Answer

Arabic or English — whichever the participant thinks in. You choose when you book, and it can be adjusted after the first session if the other language turns out to fit better.

Question 6

Is this therapy?

Accepted Answer

No — it is a guidance and growth program, not therapy. It is led by Mama Hala, and any participant who needs deeper support is referred privately to the right professional.
