Maya Zaghloul is a compassionate and dedicated clinical psychologist with over seven years of experience supporting individuals and couples through emotional and psychological challenges. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and is licensed by the Community Development Authority (CDA) in Dubai.
Maya has extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, and couples, addressing a wide range of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, relationship issues, and adjustment difficulties. Her diverse background includes working with refugees, trauma survivors, and corporate employees, giving her a deep understanding of resilience and human adaptability.
At Nafsi, Maya offers online psychotherapy, integrating evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), Imaginal Exposure (IE), and the Gottman Method for couples. Her sessions are tailored to each client’s needs, emphasizing empathy, collaboration, and measurable progress.
Maya believes that meaningful change becomes possible when we feel safe enough to explore and understand our experiences. Her approach is grounded in collaboration, authenticity, and compassion. By working together with her clients, she creates a space where healing unfolds through connection and the experience of being truly understood; a space where new, corrective experiences can help reshape old patterns and open the door to growth.
Beyond individual therapy, Maya also facilitates psychoeducational workshops, provides crisis intervention and corporate wellbeing services, and supervises psychology interns and trainees. She strives to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their emotions, process their experiences, and rebuild a sense of balance and self-worth.
