Josephine Younes
UK Trained Psychologist in Dubai
As a multilingual psychologist fluent in English, Arabic, and French, Josephine brings a rare blend of clinical training and several years of senior professional experience to her therapeutic work. She holds a Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of Northumbria (UK) and works with adults navigating anxiety, stress, low mood, adjustment difficulties, grief, relationship issues, and emotionally complex life transitions.
What sets Josephine apart is the depth of human experience she brings into the therapy room. Her career leading creative teams and managing complex client relationships across Dubai, Amman, and Beirut gave her a finely tuned understanding of communication, cultural nuance, emotional attunement, and the pressures that come with navigating demanding lives. This background allows her to connect with a wide range of clients particularly those balancing high-pressure careers, identity shifts, and life transitions in a multicultural city like Dubai.
Josephine’s clinical approach is evidence based, drawing from CBT, compassionate inquiry and mindfulness frameworks. Her goal is simple: to offer a space that feels safe enough to be honest in, and structured enough to move forward from.
