She is trained in the administration of standardized psychological assessments, including the WAIS, WISC, WIAT, ADOS-2, DIVA, MMPI-2, 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF), TOVA, Raven’s Matrices, and the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination (ACE-III). She is also certified as a Hypnotherapist and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner through the National Guild of Hypnotherapists, and as an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) practitioner using the Gary Craig method.
Sherwet’s clinical philosophy is grounded in the belief that people have an inherent capacity for resilience and self-understanding when supported with care, attunement, and professional guidance. Raised in the UAE’s multicultural environment, she values diversity and strives to create a warm, inclusive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their inner experiences and work toward lasting psychological well-being.
