I work with children as young as 3years old, as well as with adolescents and adults.

I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor with an Advanced Diploma from CPPD Counseling School UK, Pakistan in Humanistic Integrative Counselling, and I’m a registered member MBACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Luna is a (cyber)psychology expert focusing on Digital Wellbeing in families, helping parents and adolescents find balance and connection in the modern era. With an MSc in Psychology, a Consciously Digital (ICF-accredited) coaching certification, and a Transformational Parenting coaching certification, Luna can equip parents with the tools needed to become conscious digital parents.
With digital distractions all around us, Luna uses her expertise in neuroscience, CBT, and coaching to guide, educate, and help transform parent-child relationships in a world where evidence-backed advice has been scant thus far. Through her work, she strives to shift the conversations from fear and restriction, to enablement through trust-based discourse within families. Her passion stems from her learnings with her own two adolescent children.
She obtained her Master of Science in Psychology (with Distinction) in 2022. Her thesis, titled Digitally parenting preteens in the UAE: A cross-cultural qualitative study, explored the gaps in research surrounding digital parenting in the Middle East, uncovered new findings, and proposed future research recommendations. The findings of her study can inform policy makers, psychologists, educators, and coaches in creating the much needed support systems for digital parents.
Luna is also the founder of Undistracted Parenting, an educational and support hub that raises awareness on the latest neuroscientific research related to children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing in the modern era (launching November 2023). In her previous endeavors, she was the co-founder and co-host of the Middle’ East’s leading Arabic parenting podcast, Mishbilshibshib, which amassed over 2 million downloads and 100,000 monthly subscribers in the last 3 years. In the podcast, Luna and her co-host discussed the latest ‘psychology of parenting’ research, through the lens of an Arab sociocultural perspective, and aimed to help parents become more intentional, conscious, and peaceful. Luna has also been a speaker at the International Psychology Conference Dubai (2023), and at a Netflix sponsored event aimed at educators in the MENA region.
