Understanding How You Connect — and How You Can Heal
Relationships shape so much of how we experience the world — from our sense of safety and belonging to the ways we cope with stress, conflict, or vulnerability. Sometimes, even with the best intentions, our relationships with family, partners, friends, or colleagues feel strained, distant, or emotionally confusing.
At MapleTree Psychotherapy Center in Dubai, relational and attachment therapy is about helping you understand how you connect, why certain patterns keep showing up, and what you can do to build healthier, more fulfilling relationships — with others, and with yourself.
What We Explore Together
Relational and attachment therapy is not about blame or labeling. It’s about exploring the emotional templates you’ve learned over a lifetime — often without even realizing it — and finding new, healthier ways of relating.
In therapy, you may work on:
- Identifying attachment patterns, such as avoidance, anxiety, or ambivalence in relationships
- Understanding emotional triggers and reactions, especially during conflict or closeness
- Exploring early relational experiences (family, caregivers, first attachments) and how they shape current relationships
- Strengthening communication skills, including expressing needs, setting boundaries, and resolving conflict
- Building emotional security, both within yourself and in relationships
- Healing relational wounds, such as betrayal, abandonment, or emotional neglect
You don’t have to keep repeating the same painful patterns. Awareness opens the door to change.
Our Therapeutic Approach
Our psychotherapists use a deeply relational, insight-oriented model that draws from:
- Attachment-Based Therapy, focusing on emotional security and how bonds are formed and maintained
- Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, to explore unconscious relational patterns and family-of-origin influences
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), especially for exploring emotional needs and vulnerability in close relationships
- Mindfulness Techniques, to build present-moment awareness during relational stress
- Narrative Therapy, to help you reframe personal stories about trust, love, conflict, and worthiness
Therapy is a collaborative process — moving at a pace that feels safe, supportive, and meaningful for you.
