Max Duda

I am a UK-trained psychologist, holding a First-Class MSc in Psychology from Kingston University (UK), and currently practicing in Dubai. With significant experience in diverse psychological settings, I provide a compassionate, evidence-based approach tailored to each client’s unique needs.

My clinical journey began as a crisis counsellor with SHOUT, supporting individuals experiencing suicidal ideation and acute emotional distress. I have also worked extensively in school environments, providing counselling for students aged 8 to 18. I support young individuals facing academic pressure, bullying, anxiety and social withdrawal. Currently based at MCM Dubai, I provide therapy to clients across all age groups, helping them manage and heal from trauma, abuse, anxiety, and depression. I also offer couples counselling, focusing on conflict resolution, effective communication, and rebuilding emotional intimacy in relationships.

My therapeutic approach integrates several modalities, including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy. I believe in creating a warm, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, develop insight, and move toward meaningful change.
