Bio

Ms. Carolyn is an experienced psychotherapist with over 20 years of diverse clinical practice. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from Boston University's Wheelock College of Education and Human Development, and I am certified in several therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). 


For the past 11 years, I have practiced in Dubai, where I have successfully worked with a multicultural clientele. This international experience has deepened my understanding of the importance of overcoming cultural barriers in therapeutic settings. My flexibility in utilizing various therapeutic modalities allows me to effectively address the needs of both children and adults. 

In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about community education. I regularly speak at schools, conduct workshops for parents, and participate in various media platforms to advocate for mental health awareness. My approach integrates a strength-based perspective and collaborative goal setting, fostering an environment conducive to mental well-being and personal growth.

Benefit of the therapy

As a dedicated psychotherapist, I am committed to facilitating personal growth and self-awareness in my clients.  Through our sessions, individuals will gain a deeper understanding of their thoughts and emotions, which empowers them to navigate life more effectively.  One of the significant benefits of my work is the improvement in relationships that clients experience.  By fostering better communication and empathy, I help individuals build stronger connections with others. 

Additionally, I provide tailored coping strategies that equip clients to handle stress, anxiety, and various life challenges, promoting overall well-being.  I am passionate about promoting health awareness and reducing the stigma associated with seeking help.  By encouraging individuals to pursue therapy, I strive to create a supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable addressing their mental health needs. 

How the session will go

After your initial registration, our first session will be an important step in your journey toward healing and personal growth. I will take the time to create a warm and welcoming environment where you feel safe to express yourself.  We'll begin by discussing your unique background, experiences, and the challenges you are currently facing.  My goal is to listen attentively and understand your perspective, allowing you to share at your own pace.  Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, identifying the areas where you seek support.  I believe in a collaborative approach, so we will work together to set goals for your sessions.
