Burnout Prevention & Recovery

Reclaiming Energy, Purpose, and Balance

Burnout isn’t just about being tired — it’s a deep depletion that can affect how you think, feel, and show up in your life. It can stem from chronic stress, unspoken expectations, emotional labor, or simply trying to carry too much for too long. In Dubai’s fast-paced, high-performance environment, burnout can become invisible until it feels unbearable. 

At MapleTree Psychotherapy Center in Dubai, we offer a supportive space for individuals and professionals to understand, prevent, and heal from burnout with compassion and clarity.

What We Explore Together

Burnout recovery is not about “bouncing back.” It’s about listening inward and creating a more sustainable way forward.

Through our work, we help clients:

  • Identify early signs of emotional, physical, or mental burnout
  • Understand patterns of over-functioning, people-pleasing, or perfectionism
  • Explore the emotional roots of burnout, including guilt, shame, or fear of not being enough
  • Rebuild emotional balance and nervous system regulation
  • Set healthy boundaries at work and in relationships
  • Restore connection to rest, creativity, and meaning
  • Navigate cultural, career, or family expectations that may contribute to burnout
  • Develop sustainable work habits that honor your energy and values
  • Facilitate decision making to prevent and reduce the effects of burning out

Services We Offer

Burnout recovery requires both emotional insight and practical support. At MapleTree Psychotherapy Center in Dubai, we offer services that meet professionals where they are — whether they’re seeking space to reflect, tools to adapt, or guidance to heal.

Our support includes:

  • Coaching, to clarify goals, build sustainable work strategies, and support healthy boundaries in demanding roles
  • Psychotherapy and Counselling, offering a confidential, emotionally grounded space to process exhaustion, identity shifts, and long-term stress
  • Workshops, designed to foster self-awareness, emotional resilience, and team-wide conversations around burnout and wellbeing

These services are available individually or as part of broader workplace support. We also develop tailored Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) for organizations seeking comprehensive mental health care for their teams.

Who We Support

Our burnout prevention and recovery work is especially helpful for:

  • Professionals and leaders experiencing emotional exhaustion or disconnection
  • Parents and caregivers holding the invisible weight of constant responsibility
  • High-achievers struggling with guilt around rest or imperfection
  • Expats navigating burnout in culturally or professionally demanding environments
  • Individuals healing from long-term stress or chronic overwhelm

Sessions are available in English, Arabic, French, Hindi, Urdu, Farsi, and Finnish.

You Don’t Have to Keep Running on Empty

If you’re feeling worn down, emotionally detached, or like the weight never lifts — there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re responding to something real.

There is a way to move forward that feels more human — and more whole.

Emotional Wellbeing Check

An Emotional Wellbeing Check is a 30 minute consultation to give you an overview of how you are doing with your psychological wellbeing. It will highlight key areas of your wellness and give an indication as to whether there are any areas of your life that would benefit from some attention. Like any other health check up, an emotional wellbeing check is an important part of staying on top of your mental health. With no commitment to engaging in regular therapy, this service offers a useful measure of your overall emotional wellbeing.

When might an emotional wellbeing check be beneficial?

  • Something feels “off”, but you can’t quite put your finger on what it is
  • You are considering embarking on therapy, but you remain uncertain as to whether this would be beneficial for you
  • You have a history of mental health difficulties and want to stay on top of your emotional wellbeing


Following the wellbeing check you will be provided with a brief summary report with recommendations from Dr Shamarel. As this is not a service that insurance companies typically reimburse for, you will not be given a formal diagnosis.
