About Me

I’m Micheal Salameh, a licensed psychologist based in Dubai, working with adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, difficult life experiences, relationship challenges, and patterns that can feel difficult to move beyond.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental. I believe meaningful therapy happens when you feel safe enough to be honest about what you are experiencing without feeling pressured, judged, or expected to have everything figured out.

EMDR is an important part of my work, particularly when past experiences continue to affect how you feel, respond, or see yourself in the present. I work with trauma and PTSD, distressing memories, anxiety and panic, phobias, grief and loss, negative beliefs about yourself, and other experiences that may continue to feel emotionally or physically triggering.

Alongside EMDR, my work is informed by approaches including Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Adlerian Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I also work extensively with relationships and couples and have completed Level 2 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

I hold an MSc in Psychology from the University of Glasgow and am licensed by the Community Development Authority (CDA) in Dubai.

I provide therapy in both English and Arabic and work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. My aim is to create a space where you can better understand what you have been through, process what continues to affect you, and move forward with greater clarity and emotional freedom.
