Positive Living UAE |Therapist & Counselling Dubai

I'll be honest, for most of my life I was skeptical of psychotherapy. I genuinely believed it was something only people who couldn't handle their own problems needed, and I took pride in working through my challenges on my own. Then life humbled me. Things from my past started catching up with me, affecting my present and threatening my future in ways I simply could no longer manage alone. A trusted friend recommended Positive Living UAE and Luz specifically, and that recommendation changed everything. From the very first trial session, I felt at ease. Luz is exceptionally experienced and methodical, she walked me through her entire approach while carefully mapping out my history, and somehow made the whole process feel completely safe. I had no hesitation opening up, which for someone like me says everything. The result has been nothing short of transformational. I feel genuinely better in myself, I have a healthier and more compassionate perception of who I am, and I can now look back at my past with comfort and empathy rather than pain. If you're on the fence, especially if you're the type who thinks you don't need this, I can only say: go. I cannot recommend Luz and Positive Living UAE highly enough.

"Therapy is only for people with highly traumatic and abusive childhoods, things we only read in books or see in films." That’s what I used to think. I don’t fall in that category, but at the same time something wasn’t right; I could feel it in different forms/situations, in my professional and personal relationships (including with my children). I tried to root cause on my own, read various self-help books but I kept falling short of getting "there". Hence I was both skeptical and nervous approaching my first ever therapy. I quickly realised that talking to my spouse and friends could only help up to a certain point. Luz stepped in and closed that remaining (and huge) gap, with impartiality, kindness and professionalism. Thank you Luz; you are a truly wonderful person, thank you for making a thorough root cause analysis, helping me to find self-compassion and peace, and candid approach for me to go onwards (and upwards).

Finding Luz was an absolute blessing and I will be forever grateful for her. Since moving to Dubai, my 15 year old son has really struggled with his mental health, and we felt like we were slowly losing the bright, happy kid we used to have. I was sceptical about therapy due to my own personal experience, however we needed to do something. I am not exaggerating when I say that after only 3 sessions we had our boy back!!! She managed to connect with him in a way that we couldn’t and I’m literally in shock with the results. He’s so much happier and back to his old self. I would never recommend someone I didn’t believe in, so you can trust me when I say that Luz is incredible. We can’t wait to continue on this journey with her.

I’ve had a very positive experience with neurofeedback treatment. From the beginning, the process was explained clearly, and the sessions have helped me feel more focused and calm. One thing I appreciate most is that neurofeedback is not just a temporary fix — continuing treatment has made the improvements more consistent and noticeable in my daily life. I’ve experienced better concentration, improved sleep, reduced stress, and an overall sense of stability. Stephani is professional, supportive, and genuinely cares about progress and long-term wellbeing. I would highly recommend neurofeedback treatment to anyone looking for a non-invasive and effective way to improve performance and overall quality of life.

I recently visited Positive Living UAE and was very impressed with the professionalism and care of the team. The center has a calm, welcoming environment, and you immediately feel you are in safe hands. Their holistic, science‑backed approach—combining hypnotherapy, coaching and neurofeedback—is structured, practical and clearly focused on results. The therapists are well qualified and take time to understand your specific concerns instead of offering generic solutions. Session was explained in simple language, expectations are set upfront, and there is a clear emphasis on long‑term wellbeing rather than quick fixes. Positive Living UAE is an excellent choice if you want a serious, professional and compassionate holistic clinic in Dubai. I would strongly recommend them to anyone dealing with stress, anxiety, or looking to improve their mindset and performance.

Working with Luz has been a profoundly healing experience. From our very first session, her warmth, empathy, and deep understanding created a safe space where I felt truly heard and supported. She has a remarkable ability to bring clarity to complex emotions, helping me navigate a challenging life transition with grace and confidence. What stood out most was her unwavering compassion—not just for me, but for everyone involved. Luz guided us with sensitivity and wisdom, always focused on what was healthiest and most respectful for all parties. Her insights were thoughtful and balanced, and she never imposed solutions, but rather helped us discover the right path forward ourselves. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to move through this chapter with peace and a renewed sense of self. I’m deeply grateful for her presence during this time and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a therapist who leads with heart, clarity, and true professionalism

Dear Positive Living UAE, I’m so grateful to share my experience with conscious parenting coaching. When I first approached Luz Maria at Positive Living UAE, I was anxious and guilty about my relationship with my young 6 year-old son. I felt like I wasn't able to handle his normal developmental dramas without impatience or anger, and I wanted a space to grow as a mindful parent. From the first family therapy session, I felt understood. Luz Maria’s conscious parenting approach not only eased my anxiety but also offered practical parenting counseling tools. It’s not just about parenting advice; it’s about becoming a conscious and present parent. Each session helped me let go of guilt and approach challenges with clarity and calm. Luz encouraged me to apply a filter of COMPASSION for each issue we tackled. The family therapist atmosphere was nurturing yet structured, giving me the confidence to engage with my children in a more connected way. With Positive Living UAE’s parenting coaching, I now feel free from the reactive anger and consequent self-shaming spiral and can enjoy my role as a parent. I highly recommend Positive Living UAE to any parent who feels overwhelmed and frustrated. The coaching, counseling, and compassionate family therapy provide a roadmap to a more joyful, calm, and conscious parenting journey. If you’re looking for a family therapist or parenting counselor, this is the place. Thank you, Luz, for helping me become the parent I aspired to be - I enjoyed our sessions and I appreciate you!
