Anxiety Therapy in Dubai

The specific approach depends on the therapist and on what sits behind your anxiety. At ClearMinds, we believe in resolving anxiety from the core: our therapists work with psychodynamic psychotherapy, EMDR, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), depending on your individual needs.

Here are some signs that indicate you may need to seek help from an anxiety therapist: excessive worry, physical symptoms, avoiding situations or places, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, or overthinking. Seeking help from an anxiety therapist can be a valuable step if you are experiencing persistent and distressing symptoms of anxiety.

It is important to understand that the first session is primarily an introductory session where you and your therapist get to know each other. Be prepared to discuss some relevant personal history, including life events, relationships, and significant stressors. This will help the therapist understand your context.

The typical duration of therapy is 50 to 55 minutes. Sessions ideally take place weekly during the beginning and middle phases of therapy. Toward the end of therapy, sessions can be tapered down to once every two to three weeks.

Making progress with anxiety would typically look like not feeling as controlled by your anxious thoughts anymore; that you’re able to do the things that anxiety was preventing you from doing before. If you don’t feel like therapy is working, speaking to your therapist about the possible reasons why.
