BEWARE: If your counsellor tells you you must make another ten or twelve appointments for example, this is HIGHLY UNETHICAL. It means your counsellor is taking control and filling his/her appointment schedule creating the illusion that as he/she is very busy, this must mean that he/she is good. A qualified practitioner would not work in this way.

ALWAYS check your counsellor's credentials. Ask for evidence. Ask to see his/her attested Masters. Ask about your counsellor's Dubai professional licence. A diploma or certificate is not equal to a Masters Degree. Some weekend workshops offer certificates of attendance.

pseif1 Yes, it seems there are many unlicensed therapists working in Dubai who may not be qualified to do the work they are doing.

Upbeat007, you bring up an excellent point, and this goes for any profession in this catagory, therapists, mentors, life coaches, etc.. ALWAYS check their degrees, certificates, licences and make sure that they are from the correct governing bodies. Also shop around, as there are great professionals out there, that also have their ethic in check.

By counsellor, I mean a mental health professional, e.g. counsellor, psychotherapist or psychologist. I am not familiar with the term 'psychiatric counsellor'. A person may be a psychiatric nurse who would be qualified to work within a hospital setting.

When you say counsellor, do you mean psychiatric counseller?
