Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Dubai (CBT)

Find calm, clarity, and support with CBT

At The Valens Clinic, we understand that seeking therapy is rarely a casual decision. People come to us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, exhausted, or unsure of why things no longer feel manageable, even when, on the outside, everything seems “fine”.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one way we help individuals regain clarity, emotional balance, and a sense of control. It is practical, evidence-based, and grounded in the belief that small, intentional changes in how we think and respond can meaningfully improve how we feel and live.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
What is CBT

What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

CBT is a structured form of psychotherapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Many people develop patterns of thinking that once helped them cope but no longer serve them. Over time, these patterns can quietly fuel anxiety, low mood, stress, or self-doubt. CBT helps bring awareness to these patterns and teaches practical ways to respond differently

When CBT Can Be Helpful?

CBT can be helpful for persistent anxiety, overthinking, low mood, emotional exhaustion, social anxiety, and stress related to life transitions or high-pressure environments such as those often experienced in Dubai

Anxiety & Overthinking

Ongoing anxiety or overthinking that’s hard to switch off

Low Mood & Burnout

Low mood or emotional burnout affecting your day-to-day

Stress & Life Transitions

High stress from life changes or pressure at work or home

Our Approach to CBT at The Valens Clinic

Every CBT journey begins with a thoughtful assessment. Sessions are collaborative and tailored, combining evidence-based techniques with a calm, human therapeutic relationship. The aim is not quick fixes, but meaningful and sustainable change

CBT for Children and Adolescents (Young Valens)

At Young Valens, CBT is also adapted for children and adolescents when clinically appropriate. The approach is age-sensitive, structured, and supportive, helping young people build emotional awareness, coping skills, and resilience. Parents are involved where needed to ensure clarity, continuity, and reassurance

What to Expect in Your First Session

Your first CBT session is a space to slow things down. You will have time to explain what has brought you in, ask questions, and understand how CBT may support you or your child. Before leaving, you will have clarity on possible next steps, without pressure or obligation
