These approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based techniques, among others.

Our Psychiatrists

Our psychiatrists offer expert diagnostic assessments for a wide range of mental health conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, psychosis, and eating disorders. Each psychiatrist is fully registered with the Irish Medical Council (IMC) and committed to delivering the highest standard of psychiatric care.

As part of a personalised treatment plan, our psychiatrists can prescribe medication where clinically appropriate. For clients in the UAE, prescriptions are issued through our licensed DHA partner in Dubai, Chughtai Clinic, where our psychiatrists are formally registered.

You can explore each psychiatrist’s profile to view an introductory video, learn more about their therapeutic approach, and see the specific issues they can help with.

If you’re unsure whether to start with therapy or psychiatry, it’s useful to know that only psychiatrists can prescribe medication for psychological or neurodevelopmental conditions. If you’re primarily looking for talk-based support, a psychologist or therapist may be the best place to begin.
