Finding Common Ground When It Matters Most
Families are built on love, history, and shared experience — but they can also hold misunderstandings, long-held resentments, and hurt that’s difficult to talk about.
When communication breaks down, when tension grows too heavy to ignore, or when important decisions create division, family mediation and conflict resolution can offer a new way forward.
At MapleTree Psychotherapy Center in Dubai, we offer a structured, supportive space where family members can begin to hear each other again — without judgment, pressure, or taking sides.
What Family Mediation Can Help With
Family conflict isn’t just about surface disagreements — it’s about emotional needs that have gone unheard, roles that have shifted without discussion, and patterns that feel impossible to break.
Through psychotherapy and mediation, we help families:
- Identify and explore underlying emotional dynamics contributing to conflict
- Learn healthier ways of expressing needs, fears, and frustrations
- Develop practical communication strategies that prevent escalation
- Address generational differences, cultural expectations, or evolving roles
- Navigate major transitions — such as divorce, blended family integration, elder care decisions, or relocation stress
- Restore emotional safety within the family system, even when differences remain
This work isn’t about erasing conflict entirely — it’s about learning how to manage it with greater understanding, respect, and care.
Our Therapeutic Approach
Our therapists draw from a relational and systems-based perspective, using approaches like:
- Family Systems Therapy, to understand how each person’s role, behavior, and emotions affect the whole dynamic
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), especially in emotionally charged or high-conflict situations
- Conflict resolution techniques, rooted in communication science and emotional regulation
We create a neutral space where every voice is respected, and no one is judged.
Who We Work With
Family mediation and conflict resolution support is available for:
- Parent-child conflicts, including teens and young adults
- Sibling disputes, whether current or lingering from childhood
- Blended families, managing new dynamics and shifting relationships
- Adult children and aging parents, facing decisions about care, living arrangements, or roles
- Families experiencing cultural or generational gaps, especially common among expatriate families in Dubai
Therapy is available in English, Arabic, French, Hindi, Urdu, Farsi, and Finnish, to honor the diverse family structures living and working in Dubai.
Let’s Start the Conversation — Together
If your family is caught in patterns of silence, blame, or tension, know that change is possible. With the right support, families can rebuild trust, find new ways to connect, and honor each person’s voice.
You don’t have to stay stuck. Healing starts with a single conversation.
