Cultivating Confidence, Clarity & Fulfillment

Even in a fast-paced, opportunity-filled city like Dubai, it’s not uncommon to feel stuck, overwhelmed by expectations, or unsure of your direction in life. Personal growth therapy offers a structured, supportive space to explore your potential, align with your values, and overcome the internal roadblocks that may be holding you back.

At MapleTree Psychotherapy Center, our licensed psychologists help you build greater emotional awareness, improve decision-making, and set achievable life goals—whether in your career, relationships, or personal development.

Are You Seeking More from Life?

You may be:

  • Struggling to define your life goals
  • Feeling unfulfilled despite external success
  • Dealing with low confidence or self-doubt
  • Wanting to improve assertiveness or boundary-setting
  • Facing imposter syndrome in personal or professional settings
  • Trying to balance ambition with emotional well-being
  • Seeking support to transition into a new life phase

Whether you’re a young professional, student, entrepreneur, or long-time resident of Dubai, therapy can help you reconnect with a sense of purpose and empowerment.

How Therapy Can Support Your Growth

Personal growth therapy can help you:

  • Clarify personal values, passions, and aspirations
  • Set realistic, meaningful life goals
  • Strengthen confidence and communication skills
  • Break free from limiting beliefs and unhelpful self-talk
  • Increase motivation and self-discipline
  • Learn self-reflection and emotional regulation tools
  • Improve work-life balance and boundaries

The journey of self-improvement is not about “fixing” yourself—it’s about becoming more aligned with who you truly are.

Our Therapeutic Approach

Our clinicians use an integrative model tailored to your needs, drawing from:

  • Goal-Focused & Strengths-Based Counseling – to support progress through encouragement, reflection, and accountability
  • Life Coaching  – to clarify goals, overcome obstacles, and unlock your full potential through guided self-discovery
  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) – to address negative thought patterns and improve self-esteem
  • ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) – to help you pursue meaningful goals while staying true to your values
  • Mindfulness-Based Therapy – to build present-moment awareness and reduce internal distractions
  • Psychodynamic Therapy – to explore deep-rooted beliefs and emotional patterns that impact your growth
  • Existential Therapy deepens understanding of your purpose.

We offer a collaborative, non-judgmental environment where change feels both inspiring and sustainable.

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.
