Elmira Strange, PhD
Psychologist & Educator
Dr. Elmira Strange (PhD, MPhil) is a Psychologist, Author, and Educator specialising in Islamic Psychology and Counselling.
In 2012, Elmira underwent life-saving surgery after being given just three days to live. During this experience, she had a profound near-death experience that deepened her search for truth and set her on a lifelong journey into the spiritual dimensions of the mind, heart, and soul.
Today, Elmira combines her academic background in psychology with the wisdom of Islam to offer courses, books, and programmes that help people heal emotionally, strengthen their faith, and live with clarity and peace.
She has taught over 150,000 students worldwide through platforms such as Udemy and her own online school, covering topics including psychology, counselling, grief, emotional healing, and Islamic spirituality.
Elmira is also the author of The Seeker’s Journey: From Shamanic Portals to Divine Guidance and is currently building one of the first schools dedicated to Islamic Psychology and Counselling.
🌍 As a digital nomad and lifelong learner, she continues to study Islamic knowledge, Arabic, and counselling practices, while sharing reflections and teaching students globally.
