Regain Calm, Confidence & Control

If you’re living in Dubai and often feel overwhelmed by worry, panic, or a constant sense of unease—you’re not alone. Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, restlessness, chest tightness, difficulty sleeping, or even full-blown panic attacks. Left unaddressed, it can impact your relationships, work performance, and overall well-being.

At MapleTree Psychotherapy Center, we offer specialized therapy for anxiety and panic disorders, helping you break free from the grip of fear and regain a sense of control and calm.

Understanding Anxiety in the Dubai Context

Dubai’s fast-paced lifestyle, high expectations, and transitional nature can contribute to stress and anxiety—especially for professionals, students, expatriates, and families navigating relocation, career changes, or social isolation. Therapy offers a confidential space to understand your experiences, build coping strategies, and reduce the impact of anxiety in your daily life.

What to Expect in Anxiety & Panic Disorder Therapy

Our licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches such psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment-based or relational approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and psilocybin-assisted therapy to help you:

  • Recognize anxiety triggers and thought patterns
  • Learn calming techniques to manage physical symptoms of anxiety
  • Reduce avoidance behaviors and regain confidence in social or work settings
  • Develop healthier emotional responses and long-term resilience
  • Address panic attacks with grounding tools and emotional processing

Therapy is customized to your needs—whether your anxiety is situational, generalized, social, or linked to past trauma.

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.
