On today's episode I’m  joined not 1 but 2 of Lighthouse Arabia’s Clinical Psychologists Dr Summer Fakhro and Jaun Van Wyk, As we discuss the inevitable evolution of relationships after becoming parents, how that can impact the family unit as well as best ways to nurture that change.

Dr Summer Fakhro is a UK-trained Clinical Psychologist from Bahrain, and Lead for Women's Health Services at The Lighthouse Arabia. She is passionate about supporting parents through the emotional and practical journey of parenthood and all that it brings. In her clinical work she focuses on using attachment-based models in order to support people with their relationships (including the self-relation, parent-child and partner relationships), which have a significant impact on a person's overall wellbeing and experience of life. Dr Summer believes that the path to living a life that is fulfilling and in line with your true values is by bringing light to the unconscious patterns that exist inside of us, and by turning to yourself with acceptance and compassion.

Juan van Wyk is a clinical psychologist with 18 years of experience working in private practice in SA and the UAE. He believes in the innate ability of the human psyche to heal, grow and thrive within a safe relational connection. His field of interest is in therapeutic work with adult mental health diffulties due to adverse life experiences, leading to depression, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Juan draws from a range of therapeutic approaches, including several  integrative, brain-body therapies and the interpersonal neuro-biology of relationships. His work involves therapeutic processes with individuals, couples and groups. Through these therapeutic interventions, he ultimately hopes to facilitate more integration and wholeness in individuals, families and communities.
