Shahd Raafat
Psychologist
About
Shahd Raafat specializes in working with adolescents and adults, with a strong foundation in both educational and clinical mental health settings. She graduated from The British University in Egypt and has built a well-rounded clinical background through hospital-based training, school practice, and ongoing professional development.
Since February 2023, Shahd has been working as a School Psychologist at Nefertari International Schools, where she provides individual counseling, facilitates group interventions, leads mental health awareness initiatives, and works closely with parents and educators. Alongside her work in schools, she also offers individual sessions outside the school setting.
She believes therapy is not about fixing someone, but about understanding, growth, and learning how to move through life with more awareness and balance.
