About

About Amanda

Amanda Hanna is a trained clinical psychologist with a strong background in child development and therapeutic care. Amanda holds both a master's and bachelor's degree in psychology from a Lebanese university, and has worked across clinical, educational, and wellness settings in the UAE.

Before joining Jayasom, Amanda held roles at leading child-focused centres in Dubai, where she supported children with autism and developmental needs. Her work combined behaviour therapy, emotional support, and family education, always with a focus on practical tools and long-term growth.

Her move into wellness came after an autoimmune diagnosis prompted her to explore restorative approaches to healing. Reset of daily habits, daily movement, and a deeper connection to wellbeing reshaped her approach, personally as much as professionally. At Jayasom, Amanda designs and leads programmes that help children build confidence, emotional awareness, and social connection; clinical training meets creativity in every session, age-appropriate by design.
