Michael Leonard
I am Australian but consider myself a global
citizen having lived in many countries and
far out places. I have been challenged with
substance issues since my early teens, yet
have been clean for over 20 years. I am the
founder of The ANYMAN Movement, a
men’s support group in the UAE. My journey
into helping others heal has been rewarding
and I get satisfaction from seeing others live
a life that is rich and authentic.
I have a Masters of Science in Executive
Coaching, am certified NLP Coach,
Eriksonian Hypnotherapist, have studied
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and
Acceptance & Comment Therapy, and
undertaken courses in addiction and
substance abuse from the USQ (Australia).
Saif Al Bitar
I am Emirati. I have challenged the norms of
UAE culture and others expectations in pursuit
of my authentic self. It has been a challenging
yet rewarding journey. I am a recovering
addict and have struggled with clinical
depression, hyper anxiety, self-confidence and
identity challenges throughout my life.
A Certified NLP and Life Coach (ICF Certified),
IPHM and Vibrational Sound Healer, I
specialize in addiction, trauma, and
mindfulness coaching. I am certified in Trauma
Release Exercise (TRE) and incorporate leading
therapy modalities such as Acceptance and
Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive
Behaviour Therapy (CBT) in my coaching
practice.
