LGBTQ+ Therapists in Dubai, United Arab Emirates

From an ex-police officer to a trauma-informed life coach. My journey has been profound. I learned that the greatest gift we can give ourselves is recognizing who we truly are beneath our conditioning, survival patterns, and past experiences. Many of the struggles we face today are rooted in childhood experiences, unconscious beliefs, and emotional wounds that continue to shape how we think, feel, and relate to the world. My role is to help you gently explore these patterns, understand their origins, and create awareness without judgment.

Are you struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficult relationship patterns, or experiences from the past that continue to affect you today? You may find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling disconnected in your relationships, struggling with self-worth, or finding it difficult to manage emotions despite trying to move forward. I work with adults, couples and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, self-esteem difficulties and long-standing emotional patterns. My approach is warm, collaborative and personalised. I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Schema Therapy and EMDR, along with other evidence-based approaches, depending on your individual needs. I aim to understand not only what you are experiencing now, but also the deeper emotional and relational patterns that may be contributing to your difficulties. For couples, I use an attachment-focused EFT lens to help partners understand their cycles of conflict, emotional disconnection and unmet needs, and work towards greater safety and connection. I offer online therapy to clients across India and, where permitted by applicable local requirements, to clients in the UAE and UK. If you’re considering therapy and would like to explore whether we might be a good fit, you’re welcome to get in touch.

Dubai is home to one of the world's most multinational populations, with expatriates making up over 80 percent of residents, creating a distinctive mental health landscape centred on themes of cultural adjustment, identity, isolation, and the pressures of contract-based expat life. English-language therapy is widely available through a growing private sector, with licensed practitioners operating in healthcare zones such as Dubai Healthcare City, and many therapists also offering telehealth sessions. Awareness of mental health is rising, particularly among younger residents and professionals in finance, technology, and hospitality, though stigma remains in some cultural communities. Many therapists in Dubai have international training and experience working with diverse, multicultural clients navigating both personal and cross-cultural challenges.
