Deborah Sackey GMBPsS

Hello, I’m Deborah. I am a UK-trained DHA-licensed psychologist in Dubai, trained in CBT and EMDR.

I was drawn to psychology after seeing how people with mental health challenges are often dismissed or left without support, and I wanted to provide care that is compassionate, evidence-based, and tailored to each individual.

​I work with a wide range of mental health challenges, with particular expertise in addiction, mood and anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, and supporting both survivors of crime and individuals with a history of offending. I focus on understanding each client’s unique experience and helping them feel supported and empowered to make meaningful changes.

Alongside my clinical work, I stay engaged with research on stigma and complex mental health needs, and as a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS), I bring the latest insights directly into my practice.

I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their challenges, reconnect with their strengths, and work toward a fulfilling life.

Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or someone you care about, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.

“The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.”
