Reclaim Balance, Purpose, and Inner Calm

In the fast-paced, achievement-driven lifestyle of Dubai, mental well-being often takes a backseat. Whether you’re navigating high-pressure work environments, personal transitions, or an overwhelming daily routine, prioritizing your mental health is essential to living a fulfilling life.

At MapleTree Psychotherapy Center Dubai, we support individuals in rediscovering calm, balance, and clarity—helping you realign with what truly matters.

What We Help With

Our mental well-being sessions are ideal for those who are curious or concerned about their emotional health, feel emotionally drained, disconnected, or are simply stuck in life. You may benefit from this service if you’re:

  • Seeking greater meaning and emotional alignment
  • Looking to prevent mental health issues through proactive self-care
  • Struggling with work-life balance, perfectionism, or emotional fatigue

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.
