Anisa Tyson Abou El Hassan is a British therapist, educator, and consultant who’s spent nearly three decades working with children, teenagers, and families across the Middle East and UK.

Leading Nebras Al Hikma Education with a steady, people-first approach.

Her background is broad: she’s taught in international schools, led community projects, run her own educational establishments, and provided therapy and mentorship in both government and private settings. That range matters. She’s been the school counsellor drowning in cases, the teacher struggling to keep everyone afloat, and she’s sat across from exhausted parents who are worried sick and bracing for judgment.

At Nebras Al Hikma Education, Anisa doesn’t just oversee things from the top. She’s in it with her team – teachers, youth workers, psychologists, social workers, learning support staff, administrators – people from different backgrounds and fields, all working toward the same goal for each child or young person. Training, supervision, and real talk are built into the week, so people can grow alongside the work instead of collapsing under it.

Why she founded Nebras Al Hikma Education She kept seeing the same cycle play out: schools get blamed for issues that started at home. Parents get blamed for problems that first surfaced at school. And stuck in the middle is a young person who feels like nobody really gets it. That’s why she founded Nebras Al Hikma Education Consultancy – not to point fingers, but to actually listen, figure out what’s going on beneath the surface, and help everyone get on the same page.

Her approach draws on evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, mindfulness, and complementary health strategies. The focus is emotional resilience, self-regulation, and practical steps families can actually manage at home – without turning daily life into another rigid schedule or performance to get right.

Working from Cairo with a team across Egypt and the Gulf, Anisa runs Nebras Al Hikma Education as a private, family-centered service. For schools, that means a partner who respects your time and judgment, protects learning, and keeps you properly informed. For families, it means someone who’ll sit with you without rushing, name what’s really happening, and help you and your child move forward without the shame or theatrics.

When you refer a family to Nebras Al Hikma Education – or reach out for your own child – Anisa takes that seriously. It’s about protecting relationships, keeping the young person’s wellbeing front and center, and offering steady, honest support when things feel anything but steady or simple.
