Therapists that treat Seniors in Dubai, United Arab Emirates

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.

THE WHOLE STORY APPROACH I offer a relational, high-trust therapeutic space where every part of your journey, from your cultural heritage and faith to your professional life, is seen, respected, and valued. As a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist and former Head of University Counselling & Wellbeing, I bring over a decade of senior clinical leadership and international experience to our work together. My practice is deeply rooted in understanding the delicate balance of identity, belonging, and faith. Having lived and worked in Qatar for six years within a diverse international community, I bring a global, nuanced perspective to my relational work. I understand the complex dynamics of mixed-heritage families, navigating differing worldviews, and holding firm to your core values. Beyond my cultural and relational work, my background directing large-scale clinical services means my practice is held to the highest standards of clinical governance and care. Whether you are navigating workplace burnout, the pressures of leadership, or personal questions of heritage and identity, I offer an expert, spiritually sensitive space to support your growth. I welcome you to reach out for an initial conversation to explore how we can work together.

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.

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.
