Bilal Budair

With 13 years of experience as a registered psychotherapist, I bring profound expertise in diverse therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET). Fluent in both English and Arabic, I've had the unique privilege of working with a broad spectrum of populations from all over the world, particularly with refugees in the Middle East, enriching my cultural competence and therapeutic approach. I have successfully implemented numerous mental health projects, with an emphasis on team self-care interventions. As a senior trainer and consultant, I've had the honor of collaborating with leading international NGOs such as UOSSM, HAI, MDM, IOM, MSF, HIHFAD, and PURITY. Moreover, I am certified by the World Health Organization as a Trainer of Trainers (ToT) for mhGAP, Problem Management Plus, and Psychological First Aid. My robust foundation underscores my in-depth understanding of mental health and unwavering commitment to applying evidence-based practices, consistently aiming to uplift the mental well-being of both individuals and teams.
