Dr Maryam Kuhla
Trainee CBT therapist, Registered Doctor, Published Author.
Hello, I am Dr Maryam Kuhla. I am a compassionate and dedicated professional currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy at the University of Salford. I holds a Bachelor’s degree in Medicine from the University of Baghdad and bring a rich background in health and wellbeing to my therapeutic practice.
I am registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) in the United Kingdom, underscoring my strong medical foundation and commitment to the highest standards of professional practice.
During my CBT training I have been honoured with the Student Achievement Award for Postgraduate (Taught) Student within the Directorate of Nursing and Midwifery at Salford, recognising my commitment and excellence in studies.
I am currently completing my clinical placements with TOG Mind Oldham and CGL Manchester, gaining practical experience in supporting individuals through evidence-based, person-centred approaches.
Being fluent in Arabic and English, I offer a culturally sensitive perspective in my work, allowing me to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds.
Beyond my academic and clinical work, I am also an author of two Arabic books – “Life Is Beautiful” and “Beautiful Talk” – and a motivational speaker supporti parents of children with disabilities, particularly those with autism. My advocacy and insight are deeply informed by my personal journey as a mother of a 16-year-old autistic son, inspiring my mission to help others navigate similar experiences with hope and strength
I currently offer therapy sessions online and by phone. My fees range from £35 to £50 per session, as I aim to make therapy accessible to people with different income levels. I want those who might otherwise struggle to afford support to feel welcome and able to reach out.
