Maha Cooper

Therapy is a journey—one you don’t have to walk alone. As a psychologist, I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can unfold. Whether working with children, adolescents, or adults, I believe in the power of connection and tailored therapeutic approaches to help each person navigate their challenges. My role is to walk alongside my clients, helping them make sense of their experiences, build resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents but also support adults. My integrative approach includes CBT, psychodynamic therapy, CFT, DBT, and EMDR, with a strong passion for trauma work. With children, I incorporate play therapy and role-play to create a safe space for self-expression. I provide individual, group, and family therapy, as well as psychoeducation, parental support, and assessments for neurodevelopmental concerns.

Trained in both the UK and the UAE, I hold a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Sussex and a Postgraduate Degree in Low-Intensity Psychological Interventions for Children and Young People. My experience includes working with the NHS, psychiatric hospitals, and government mental health services, supporting individuals with a range of psychological conditions.
I have a strong interest in experiential therapy, using methods such as roleplay, imagery, and chairwork approaches to foster deep emotional change. Beyond clinical work, I am passionate about trauma-focused therapy and mental health advocacy, regularly engaging in community outreach to support students and parents.
