Cressida Dean Coelho

My name is Cressida, and I am a counseling psychologist. Born and raised in India, I moved to the UAE in 2014.

Together, we will navigate the difficulties to understand your mental health and coping skills better.

For Children and Adolescents:

I have worked with students with concerns ranging from anxiety, depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Selective Mutism, ADHD, and ASD. Having worked in schools, I fully comprehend the effect of mental health on academics and school adjustment.

For Adults:

Having experienced anxiety and depression myself, I can gauge their effects on overall functioning. I have worked with clients with issues ranging from anxiety, depression, and grief.

Therapeutic Approaches:

The approaches I use are tailored to each client's personalized needs. These include CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Humanistic Therapy. We work together to identify patterns of cognition, behavior, and coping strategies to understand your mental health better, thereby improving your well-being and self-awareness.

Invitation to Therapy:

When an issue causes significant stress and affects day-to-day functioning, it is imperative to begin therapy. I assure you of confidentiality and empathy to bring clarity about your own mental health and coping mechanisms. We will work on your concerns in a non-judgemental and safe environment.
