The first consultation is 50 minutes. This gives us time to get to know each other and to see whether working together feels right.

Online sessions available?

Yes. Sessions conducted online or in-person (Dubai). Many individuals prefer remote format for ongoing work.

Uncertainty about approach?

Initial consultation serves as mutual evaluation. No commitment required. We assess presenting concerns and determine approach feasibility.

Many people begin with weekly sessions. How often we meet is something we decide together, and it can change over time.

Couples work available?

Yes. Couples intervention focuses on communication system failure, attachment template analysis, relational repair. Sessions are 75 or 90 minutes.

Cancellation protocol?

24-hour advance notice required. Sessions cancelled with insufficient notice are charged fully, excluding documented emergencies.

Privacy and discretion

Many of my clients hold public or senior roles. I do not publish testimonials, because confidentiality comes first.

Each session is private, online or in person in Dubai, so you can choose the format that feels most comfortable. What you share stays between us, within the standard limits of professional confidentiality.

Professional background

I am a CDA licensed psychologist in Dubai with an MSc in Applied Psychology, and a member of the Middle East Psychological Association (MEPA).

My book Steady Ground was published in March 2026.

I have attended MEPA conferences in 2021 and 2022, including the 5th Annual MEPA Conference in Kuwait, and the International Psychology Conference Dubai in 2022 and 2023. I continue my training every year.

Couples Consultation

For couples, I generally recommend allowing more time than for an individual consultation. Both partners need enough space to describe their perspective, respond to each other, and explore the interaction without the conversation being cut short.

Available session lengths

The most suitable duration can be discussed when arranging the appointment, depending on what you would like to work on.
