ABOUT ME/BIO

Hi, I'm Rebecca! I'm a UK trained Psychotherapist with a Masters in Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy, a foundation in Integrative Arts Psychotherapy and I have been working with clients for over 6 years. I am licensed in Dubai and the UK. Together, through a supportive and confidential space that we develop together, I offer my clients the chance to express themselves freely to find ways to untangle thoughts and feelings that might have become overwhelming. We will move at your pace, with no pressure to share before you are ready. Coming to therapy can be hard at first but whether you are new to therapy or returning after some time, let's take that first step together. My work encompasses, anxiety, grief, problems with food or substances, overwhelming feelings or perhaps you simply have a sense that there is something missing in life. Together, we can rebuild a genuine connection with yourself and rediscover your sense of fulfilment and joy.

HOW I CAN HELP YOU
I use evidence-based approaches where we work together to establish a safe, collaborative space where self expression and curiosity combine to help us make sense of what’s happening for you now in the context of mind, body and the wider environment. Having lived and worked across different countries, I bring a genuine understanding of the particular challenges that can come with building a life overseas. This shapes how I work with clients across the UAE.

If you’re going through grief, anxiety or the challenges of matrescence, motherhood or menopause. If you’re navigating struggles with food, substances, perfectionism or overwhelming feelings. Perhaps you simply feel that something is missing in life. Together we can rebuild a genuine connection with yourself and rediscover your sense of fulfilment and joy.

I also work with adolescents navigating anxiety, identity, school pressure and the emotional complexity of growing up; offering a space where young people feel genuinely heard and understood.
I hold this work with deep care, commitment (and occasionally humour).
WHY I AM SPECIALIZED IN THIS FIELD
Having experienced the transformative power of psychotherapy myself, I resolved to change career and train as a psychotherapist. I spent many years in corporate settings in London and the Middle East before retraining as a psychotherapist and this gives me a unique perspective and understanding of the pressures of the modern world and in particular, life away from home as an expat in the UAE. I bring this awareness to my clinical work. For me, Mindfulness is about coming into the present moment and becoming aware of what is arising uniquely between us as therapist and client. When we become aware of our patterns and unconscious perspectives on life and relationships, this is also the key to transformation. Together we can try out and discuss new ways of being, before you go into the world and try them. I am always here for you to return to our safe space and evaluate how it's going and how you would like to move forward.
WHAT I SAY TO PEOPLE WHO FEEL NERVOUS OR HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THERAPY/ASSESSMENT
Therapy is for everyone. You don't have to wait until things get really bad until you seek support. Having worked in numerous settings and experienced the stories of many fellow humans I can assure you that your story is welcome here in my therapy space. There is nothing too small or too large. Whatever it is you are carrying, you don't have to carry it alone anymore.
SLIDING SCALE OR PRO-BONO
I offer a sliding scale for people on lower incomes to access therapy and receive support. Please contact me for further information and availability.

I would love to connect with you!
