From the inside out
Psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. Psychologists study and understand mental processes, brain functions, and behaviour and they use this knowledge, combined with psychotherapy, to analyse and improve your mental wellbeing.
Our DHA-licensed psychologist in Dubai provides a safe space to work through your concerns, offering powerful tools to help you navigate the challenges of daily life, work on stress management, and develop effective coping strategies.
Sessions can benefit many mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Above all, they can help you to understand yourself, your behaviour and your emotions better.
Couples Therapy, Family Therapy & Couples Workshops focus on evidence-based tools proven to help couples understand their relationship dynamics and enhance their connection moving forward.
Children’s workshops are available at the centre. They will involve interactive workshops that guide children to an awareness of their true self, environment and community.

What to expect from the Psychologist in Dubai
The initial consultation is an exploratory session for you and your psychologist to get to know each other. They’ll ask you why you decided to come to the session, what you hope to get out of it, and any symptoms you might have. You should try and be as honest and open as you can and let yourself feel and express any feelings or emotions. Following this session, you and your psychologist in Dubai will decide on a treatment plan of regular sessions that is tailored to your individual needs.
