In a time when the pressures of modern life are reshaping the emotional fabric of society, some individuals choose not only to understand these changes, but to respond to them with purpose.
Among those voices is Dr. Rasha Shokry Al-Anani, whose career reflects a remarkable evolution—from public relations and institutional communication to a deeply human mission in mental health and family counseling.
A Career Built on Experience and Reinvention
Dr. Al-Anani began her academic path at the Faculty of Arts, Ain Shams University, majoring in English.
Like many women balancing personal and professional responsibilities, she paused her career to focus on raising her children—a break she describes not as a setback, but as “the quiet moment before a different kind of beginning.”
When she returned to professional life, she entered the fields of marketing and public relations, working with both local and international entities, including COMESA. Her responsibilities included
communication with ministries, embassies, and large institutions—experience that honed her strategic communication skills and shaped her understanding of people, structure, and influence.
A Calling Toward Mental Health
Over time, a deeper calling emerged—one that brought her closer to understanding human behavior, relationships, and emotional resilience. Driven by a genuine desire to make an impact, she pursued specialized diplomas, followed by a Master’s and PhD in Family Counseling and Relationships. She later complemented her academic path with advanced training in life coaching, eventually earning the PCC accreditation.
Today, she runs her own clinic and describes her work not as a profession but as “a mission that begins with the heart and ends with real change in people’s lives.
A Philosophy Rooted in Responsibility
Dr. Al-Anani stresses that mental-health work demands integrity, training, and continuous self-development.
“People entrust you with their emotional world,” she says. “You must be fully qualified—scientifically and ethically.”
Her sessions often begin with a deceptively simple question:“Do you love yourself?”
For her, this question unlocks hidden layers of identity, strength, and emotional patterns. She focuses on:Personality analysisIdentifying strengthsBuilding psychological resilience
Creating realistic, sustainable change plans
Her guiding belief remains:“Small consistent steps are more powerful than large inconsistent ones.”A National Role:
Serving People Through Community WorkParallel to her clinical work, Dr. Al-Anani serves as Secretary of Public Relations at the Mostaqbal Watan Party, a role she sees as an extension of her mission of service
She oversees community initiatives ranging from:
Mental-health awareness campaigns
Family and parenting seminars
Educational support programs for children
Outreach activities in orphanages and underserved communities
To her, social awareness and psychological well-being are inseparable pillars of a strong society.
Human Moments That Define the Journey
Dr. Al-Anani’s work is filled with personal transformations that reaffirm her purpose—moments such as:
A child shifting from “I hate my father” to “I love him… he has done so much for me.”A husband admitting, “This is the first time I’ve ever opened up about my private life.”A message sent from the Maldives by a client who felt they had “regained their life again.”
“These are the moments,” she says, “that remind me why this mission matters.”A Vision for the FutureShe hopes to see mental-health education embedded in schools and universities, and believes that preparing couples for marriage should be an essential societal priority.
In an age overwhelmed by comparison, exposure, and emotional fatigue, she emphasizes the need to build strong inner foundations and healthier human connections.
Her final message is both simple and profound:“If you do not love yourself, you will never find balance. And you will never step out of the victim role unless you choose to work on yourself with honesty.”A Legacy of Awareness and ImpactDr. Rasha Al-Anani’s journey is a testament to how knowledge, sincerity, and purpose can shape a path that touches lives
She is not merely building a career—she is building impact, leaving a lasting imprint on every person who seeks her guidance.Through her work, she reminds us that mental health is not a response to crisis, but a daily practice of understanding, healing, and reclaiming one’s sense of self
