Psychologist in Dubai for Anxiety: Your Questions Answered

She provides evidence-based treatment for generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks and panic disorder, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive patterns, work burnout, chronic stress, and trauma-related anxiety — using CBT, somatic regulation, and neuroscience-informed techniques. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) involves persistent, excessive worry about everyday situations that feels difficult to control and continues most days for six months or more, often with restlessness, muscle tension, and disrupted sleep — treated primarily with CBT to interrupt the thought patterns that fuel chronic worry. Panic Disorder involves recurrent, unexpected panic attacks (a racing heart, shortness of breath, or a feeling of losing control), often followed by fear of the next attack; treatment combines CBT with grounding and breathing techniques that aim to reduce both frequency and intensity over time. Social Anxiety involves an intense, persistent fear of being judged or scrutinized in social situations, often leading to avoidance; treatment focuses on gradually reducing avoidance through structured exposure paired with cognitive work. Health Anxiety involves persistent, distressing worry about having or developing a serious illness despite medical reassurance, and is treated by breaking the cycle of checking, reassurance-seeking, and catastrophic thinking using CBT techniques adapted for health-related fears. She has also developed self-paced online courses that clients can take alongside therapy, pairing clinical work with structured psychoeducational learning.
