Rocío Álvarez

Licensed by DHA – Dubai Health Authority | General Health Psychologist – Spain

I’m a Clinical Psychologist with over fifteen years of experience, specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions. I work with adults and adolescents, supporting them through meaningful emotional change with an approach that combines clinical rigor, empathy, and a clear focus on long-term well-being.

My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a scientifically proven method, which I integrate with third-wave approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and emotional regulation techniques, depending on each client’s needs.

🎓 My academic background includes:

Degree in Clinical Psychology – University of Salamanca
Master’s in CBT – UNED, Spain
Master’s in Applied Psychology – Middlesex University, UK
Postgraduate Certification in CBT – University of Oxford
Neurofeedback Training – Brain Clinics, Netherlands
I’ve worked in well-known international centers, including the American Psychology Center (Kuwait) and the Child Early Intervention Medical Center (Dubai).

🔹 I support individuals who:

Struggle with chronic anxiety, insomnia, or constant overthinking
Feel emotionally exhausted or stuck in a low mood
Want to regain clarity, emotional balance, and inner stability
Are seeking a professional and respectful therapeutic process, grounded in evidence
👥 I’m especially committed to the Spanish-speaking community in the UAE, offering culturally sensitive psychological care that understands the emotional challenges of living far from home.

💬 My therapeutic style is warm, structured, and respectful. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can stop carrying everything on your own — and start working on what truly matters: your emotional health and recovery.
