Psychotherapy in Dubai – A Space for Reflection and Growth:
Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when emotions become too heavy to carry alone. As a Lebanese psychologist based in Dubai, I offer a space where you can pause, reflect, and make sense of your experiences at your own pace.
My approach
My approach is relational and psychodynamic, meaning we explore together how past and present experiences shape your emotions, relationships, and sense of self. I also integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Accelerated Experiential Psychodynamic Therapy (AEDP) to help you process emotions in a way that feels safe and meaningful.
I see anxiety and depression as important signals that point to emotions that haven’t yet been fully experienced. Together, we will identify these signals, explore different parts of yourself and make sense of how your past experiences shape your current emotional experiences and behaviors. By walking this journey together, we will uncover and address the deeper issues that might be affecting your well-being, helping you develop healthier and more fulfilling patterns in your life.
My areas of interest include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Grief and Loss
- Childhood adversity
- Trauma
- Relationships and Interpersonal difficulties
- Identity and sexuality
I work with the belief that the experience of ‘undoing aloneness’ lies at the heart of therapeutic change.
“The roots of resilience… are to be found in the sense of being understood by and existing in the mind and heart of a loving, attuned, and self-possessed other.”
— Diana Fosha
