You can find practitioners of many different persuasions in Dubai – sometimes we find them through word of mouth recommendations, other times by scouring the local magazines and newspapers but at the end of the day all we want is someone who can listen and help us through some challenging aspects of living in Dubai.

We are all very much one and the same here – we’ve left friends and family behind and now we’re working/living in a different time zone, we’re working in companies which often have completely different ethics from our home country, we’re working in a multi-cultural society where many different languages are spoken between the different nationalities, we’re making new friends (or are we?), our children are making new friends and coping with a different school/curriculum etc etc.

And somehow in this environment in the luxury city of Dubai we need to cope with these challenges and changes in our lives.  This is not easy for anyone.  Our frustration levels are tried to the max when we can’t find the typing centre or the piece of paper which is part of the chain of events, when the schools are fully booked with no vacancies for our children, when the dog is sick and the vet is closed….a myriad of issues which all need to be answered.

There are hundreds of books available here to help and our Healthcare Dubai Sherpa is out and about searching for answers for you.  Our guides are based on solid knowledge and information provided by different people working in the industry.  Over time we hope that you will write to us and give us your feedback or provide us with updated information.

We must look after ourselves and each other.  Our mental health is as important as our physical health.

Details of mental health treatment and drugs will be provided in our Dubai Sherpa Mental Health Guides soon but in the meantime check out our short NLP guide.  There’s also one on a Life Performance Coach.

A guide in Dubai is never definitive simply because of the massively changing landscape, the ups and downs of the financial credit challenge and now Dubai’s successful bid for Expo 2020 which will see Dubai creating over 250,000 extra jobs.  This in itself is a challenge to the authorities and rapid changes in their procedures and processes are often the result of the Dubai Government keeping ahead of the game.  So, we’re not publishing in print.  Everything will be here and updated on a regular basis.  Keep checking back for further information.
