Personalized Support for Emotional Healing & Purpose

Feeling persistently low, emotionally numb, or lacking motivation can be deeply isolating—especially in a fast-paced city like Dubai. Whether you’re juggling professional stress, navigating expat life, or managing relationship or personal changes, depression can quietly impact your energy, focus, sleep, and even your sense of self.

At MapleTree Psychotherapy Center in Dubai, we understand that depression looks different for everyone. You don’t have to go through it alone. Our psychologists provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to your unique challenges, helping you regain emotional balance and a renewed sense of purpose.

Living with Depression in Dubai

While Dubai offers opportunity and excitement, it can also bring pressures—high-paced work environments, relocation stress, cultural transitions, or feelings of loneliness in a new city. These factors can intensify symptoms of depression, making it harder to cope without support.

Whether you’re a working professional, student, parent, or part of Dubai’s diverse expat community, seeking therapy can be a meaningful step toward healing.

What to Expect in Depression Therapy

Our licensed psychologists use a blend of approaches—including Mindfulness, Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), and psilocybin-assisted therapy —to help you:

  • Identify and process underlying emotional patterns
  • Improve self-awareness and emotional regulation
  • Rebuild motivation, self-esteem, and purpose
  • Develop practical strategies to manage day-to-day difficulties
  • Strengthen connections in your personal and professional life

Sessions are paced according to your comfort, with a focus on long-term well-being—not just symptom relief.

Who We Help

We support individuals from all walks of life—including adults, teens, working professionals, couples, students, and parents—living or working in Dubai.

Our therapists speak English, Arabic, French, Hindi, Urdu, Farsi, Finnish, and other languages, helping you access care that feels culturally and linguistically comfortable.

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.
