Dr. Sharmin is a UK-trained Counselling Psychologist currently offering coaching and wellbeing consulting services in Dubai. Drawing upon her strong academic background and extensive international experience, she supports individuals seeking personal growth, emotional resilience, and guidance through life transitions in a non-clinical, non-diagnostic setting.
With a psychology doctorate and years of experience in therapeutic models, Dr. Sharmin integrates evidence-informed strategies such as Cognitive Behavioural Coaching, emotion-focused dialogue, and personal insight work to help clients develop self-awareness, clarify goals, and make constructive behavioural changes.
Dr. Sharmin understands that each person’s journey is unique. In her work, she creates a safe, supportive, and reflective space where clients can explore patterns, build emotional intelligence, and identify actionable strategies for personal development. Her collaborative style focuses on empowering individuals to take ownership of their growth, whether that involves managing stress, enhancing confidence, or shifting unhelpful patterns in thought and behaviour.
Dr. Sharmin has experience working with individuals from diverse cultural and social backgrounds across private and public settings in the UK. She brings cultural sensitivity and emotional depth to her coaching, with particular awareness of how cultural identity shapes emotion, communication, and relationships. As a bilingual practitioner, she can also offer services in Bengali.
Dr. Sharmin earned her Doctorate in Counselling Psychology from the University of East London, and a Psychology degree from Queen Mary University of London (a member of the Russell Group). Her continuing education includes supervision and reflective practice with senior UK-based psychologists, ensuring her approach remains up-to-date and ethically grounded.
While her coaching services in Dubai are strictly non-clinical, Dr. Sharmin has previous UK-based experience in areas such as child wellbeing support, school-based emotional coaching, and psychology-informed reports for legal or educational purposes. These experiences inform her ability to coach parents, educators, and individuals navigating life challenges, but do not constitute regulated therapy within the UAE.
