Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT) Therapists in Dubai, United Arab Emirates

I’m an ADHD and executive function coach, mentor and psychologist (GMBPsS) working with neurodivergent adults, professionals and students who want to understand how their mind and nervous system actually work. My approach goes beyond surface-level productivity strategies. We work with the whole system - brain, body and identity - so you can develop clarity, emotional steadiness and sustainable ways of operating. Many people with ADHD know they are intelligent and capable, yet everyday life can feel harder than it should. Together we translate your natural thinking style into practical structure, stronger self-trust and consistent progress. My work integrates executive function coaching, nervous-system awareness and identity development so change happens from the inside out, not just through temporary motivation. Many of my clients are ambitious, fast-thinking individuals - founders, professionals, leaders and students - navigating high expectations while managing ADHD. Alongside my coaching practice, I consult with corporates, educational institutions and organisations globally on neurodiversity awareness, inclusion and how to effectively support neurodivergent talent.

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.

Frustrated at your difficulties? If you are here looking how to get support it is likely that you already have enormous resilience and are looking for someone to hone the strengths you already have. Psychological coaching and / or Therapy can be empowering, insightful and even exciting to find out how you tick. We can work together to figure things out so you can be empowered and enlightened, and make the changes you want or need.

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.
