Personalized Therapy for Mental Health & Emotional Growth

Life in Dubai is fast-paced, and mental well-being is often overlooked amidst career, family, and social pressures. If you’re experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or struggling with major life changes, consulting a psychologist for therapy can help you develop coping strategies, emotional resilience, and self-awareness.

Our licensed psychologists at MapleTree Psychotherapy Center Dubai provide evidence-based individual psychotherapy tailored to your unique needs, helping you regain emotional balance and personal growth.

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.
