Over

Dr Zahra Afshari is a skilled Psychodynamic Therapist at LifeWorks Dubai who specialises in helping individuals gain valuable insights into their lives and current challenges. With her expertise, she evaluates the patterns that people develop over time, examining crucial life factors such as emotions, thoughts, early-life experiences, and beliefs. By recognising recurring patterns, Dr Afshari assists individuals in understanding how they can avoid distress or develop effective defence mechanisms to cope with difficulties. This newfound insight empowers them to initiate positive changes in their lives to better their overall wellbeing.
At the heart of psychodynamic therapy is the therapeutic relationship, which Dr Afshari emphasises. Through this relationship, individuals can explore and understand how they interact with friends and loved ones. She places a strong emphasis on transference, a key aspect of therapy, which reveals how early life relationships continue to influence present day behaviour. This in-depth exploration of interpersonal relationships enables individuals to gain insights into their role in relationship patterns and empowers them to transform these dynamics.
Dr Afshari encourages her clients to express their emotions, desires, and fears freely. By creating an open, accepting and compassionate environment, she helps individuals uncover vulnerable feelings that may have been pushed into the unconscious. She sees adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, identity problems, relationship issues, sexuality and intimacy issues and self-esteem issues. She also sees children above 10 years old.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
