Having studied and taught in the Islamic Seminaries of Iran for almost a decade, I then joined the University of Cambridge, where I completed an MPhil and PhD. in Middle Eastern studies.
I developed a strong interest for mental health and psychology and this interest brought me back to the University of Cambridge a year after the completion of my PhD. Right now I am training as studying Psychotherapy at the faculty of education.

The main focus of my research right now is the intersection between psychotherapy and spiritual development.
