Anxiety Therapy in Dubai
Evidence-based support for anxiety, panic, and persistent worry — with Dr. Fatima Abdullah. In-person at Al Jadaf or online across the UAE.
Anxiety is more than worry
Anxiety is your nervous system trying to protect you — but when it stays permanently switched on, it stops being useful and starts getting in the way. You may notice it as racing thoughts before sleep, a tight chest in meetings, avoiding situations that feel unsafe, or a low-grade hum of unease that never fully switches off.
In Dubai’s fast-paced, high-pressure environment, anxiety often masquerades as ambition or perfectionism. Many people wait years before seeking support — not because it is not serious, but because they do not recognise how much it is limiting them.

Generalised Anxiety
Persistent, uncontrollable worry about everyday situations — work, health, relationships, or the future.
Social Anxiety
Intense fear of social situations, judgement, or embarrassment that limits daily life and relationships.
Panic Disorder
Sudden, overwhelming episodes of physical fear — racing heart, breathlessness, and a sense of losing control.
Health Anxiety
Excessive worry about illness and physical symptoms, often leading to repeated checking or avoidance.
Separation & Attachment Anxiety
Distress tied to real or imagined loss — common in children, adolescents, and adults navigating change.
Trauma-Related Anxiety
Anxiety rooted in past experiences — flashbacks, hypervigilance, and emotional reactivity triggered by reminders.
