Rebuilding Trust After Hurt — One Conversation at a Time

When trust is broken — whether through infidelity, emotional distance, or secrecy — it can shake the very core of a relationship. The world you thought you shared with someone suddenly feels unfamiliar. You may find yourself questioning everything: your partner’s words, your own instincts, even your sense of safety in the relationship. It’s a painful place to be. But healing is possible.

At MapleTree Psychotherapy Center in Dubai, we work with couples and individuals who are navigating the deep emotional impact of betrayal, dishonesty, or ongoing trust issues. Our therapy sessions provide a calm, non-judgmental space to process what happened, understand what led up to it, and figure out what needs to happen next — whether that’s rebuilding together or making sense of things on your own.

What We Explore Together

Our approach is rooted in emotional awareness, psychodynamic insight, and deep respect for each person’s experience. Through therapy, you’ll have the chance to:

  • Understand the Why – Look beneath the surface of what happened to explore unmet needs, attachment styles, emotional disconnection, or avoidance patterns.
  • Talk Without Blame – Have hard conversations with structure and support, where both voices can be heard — even if there’s anger, shame, or fear.
  • Rebuild Emotional Safety – Learn how to slowly reestablish trust, rebuild emotional intimacy, and restore a sense of respect in the relationship (if both partners are willing).
  • Set Boundaries and Expectations – Clarify what you need from each other moving forward. Boundaries create safety. Expectations bring direction.
  • Manage Ongoing Triggers – Work on handling moments of anxiety, hypervigilance, or doubt that come up long after the event.
  • Make Thoughtful Decisions – Whether you stay together or choose to part, gain clarity around your boundaries, needs, and expectations.

We don’t rush you toward forgiveness or pressure you to “just move on.” Instead, we help you make sense of what you feel — even if it’s messy, complicated, or conflicting.

Who This Therapy Supports

We work with individuals who have been betrayed, those who have strayed, and couples who want to heal or part with compassion. Our clients include professionals, expats, newlyweds, long-term partners, and people in culturally complex or high-pressure relationships.

Our team speaks multiple languages — including English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, French, Finnish, and Farsi — so you can share your story in the way that feels most natural to you.

Take the First Step Toward Clarity

You don’t need to have it all figured out before reaching out. If you’re struggling with trust, feeling overwhelmed by a betrayal, or unsure of how to move forward in your relationship, we’re here to walk through it with you.

Sometimes, the hardest part isn’t what happened — it’s doing it alone. You don’t have to.

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.
