Psychoanalytic 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.

I work with adults of all ethnicity, culture and age, addressing issues such as work-related stress, relationship challenges, childhood trauma, anxiety, grief, retirement, and major life transitions. My goal is to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, explore how your past may be shaping your present, and support you in moving toward personal fulfillment.

Frustrated by "talk therapy"? Then, you might not just be looking for a therapist—you’re looking for someone who can help you shift. Let's make sense of what’s happening deeply beneath the surface. I bring a combination of clinical depth, relational attunement, and real-world expertise to my work. With advanced training in relational psychotherapy, somatic approaches, and parts work, I help clients move beyond insight and into meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in working with high-functioning individuals who feel stuck in patterns around self-worth, relationships, and emotional regulation. My approach is both grounded and intuitive—I don’t just listen, I track what’s happening in your nervous system, your patterns, and your relationships in real time. This allows me to gently challenge what isn’t working while creating a space that feels safe, respectful, and deeply human.

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.
