Panic attack therapy in Dubai

Panic attacks are frightening — but they’re among the most treatable of all anxiety problems. A licensed psychologist works with you in 50-minute sessions, in person in JLT or online, to break the panic cycle and give your body and mind a way back to calm.
You can begin as you are
It comes out of nowhere. Your heart pounds, the room tilts, you can’t catch your breath, and a part of you is certain — this time it’s a heart attack, or you’re losing control. Then it passes, and you’re left shaken and dreading the next one. Soon you’re avoiding the places it happened, and your world quietly shrinks.

How panic can show up

Panic looks different for everyone. You might recognise one of these, or several.
01

Sudden physical surges

pounding heart, tight chest, dizziness, tingling, sweating.

02

The fear of fear

dreading the next attack, scanning your body for warning signs.

03

Avoidance

staying away from places, situations, or being alone in case it happens.

04

Night-time panic

waking suddenly in a state of alarm.

05

Health fears

convinced something must be physically wrong.

06

Breathlessness & unreality

hyperventilation, or a strange sense of being detached from yourself.

How we work

How we work with you

01

We understand the cycle.

What sets it off, and how the fear of the symptoms themselves keeps the panic going.

02

We calm the body and change the story.

Slowing the breath and the alarm response, gently shifting the catastrophic thoughts that turn a surge into a spiral, and facing feared sensations and places step by step — always at your pace.

03

You get your world back.

As panic loses its grip, the places and freedoms it took from you return.

A

Panic responds very well to therapy — most people see significant improvement, and often relatively quickly.

Panic Attack Therapy Coping Plan
Before you get started

Common questions about panic attacks

Slow your breathing — make the out-breath longer than the in-breath. Plant your feet and name five things you can see. Remind yourself: this is panic, it has peaked before and passed, and it isn’t dangerous. The wave always falls. Therapy teaches you to do this reliably, and then to need it far less.
They feel alarming but they are not physically harmful. It’s still sensible to have any new physical symptoms checked by a doctor once, so you can then treat the panic itself with full confidence.
Sessions are 50 minutes, and panic often improves faster than people expect — many notice a real difference within a handful of sessions.
