You don't have to keep managing it alone. I offer warm, evidence-based therapy for adults — in English, Arabic, or French.
My work is evidence-based and integrative — drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassionate Inquiry, and mindfulness-integrated approaches. In practice, that means I listen carefully to the patterns of your life, help you understand what's keeping you stuck, and build the tools to move with more freedom.
I bring a multilingual lens — English, Arabic, and French — and a genuine attunement to the cultural texture of life in Dubai: high-pressure careers, identity shifts, family expectations, and the complexity of living between worlds.
"Most of my clients aren't falling apart. They're just quietly tired of feeling stuck."
You don't need to be in crisis to begin. Many of the people I work with are functioning well on the outside — and quietly exhausted on the inside. That tension is a perfectly good reason to start.

“I'd been functioning fine on the outside for so long I didn't realise how stuck I actually was. Working with Josephine helped me understand what was going on and finally start to shift it.”Ahmad · Online session
“I was nervous to start. The first conversation made it feel low-pressure and safe. I'm so glad I took that first step.”Alison · Dubai
Testimonials shared with permission. Details changed to protect privacy.
I'm Josephine Younes, a CDA licensed psychologist based in Dubai. Before training in psychology, I spent nearly two decades in senior creative and client-facing roles across Dubai, Amman, and Beirut — work that gave me a deep attunement to communication, cultural nuance, and the particular pressures of building a demanding professional life.
That background shapes how I work: practically, collaboratively, and with genuine respect for how full and complex your life outside the therapy room actually is.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. My approach draws on CBT, Compassionate Inquiry, and mindfulness-based practices — always adapted to what you actually need.

We talk briefly about what's bringing you in and what you're hoping for. No pressure — it's a conversation, both ways.
If we're a fit, we schedule a first session. If not, I'll do my best to point you toward a colleague who is. Either way, you leave with a next step.
