"Like a phoenix from the ashes, light rises through darkness."
At Enliven Counselling Center, your first session is completely 'Free'. Not a discovery call, not a consultation, just real support. Because you deserve a space where your well-being truly matters.
Enliven's Founder
I am Dr. Fatima Abdullah, psychologist, author, and founder of Enliven Counselling Center, a hybrid practice offering in-person and online support across Dubai and Sharjah.
Enliven was created from my own journey through illness, recovery, and renewal. Surviving cancer changed how I understand pain, resilience, and healing. It taught me that growth often begins in our hardest moments. The phoenix in our logo reflects that truth, rising through struggle rather than around it. With more than twenty years of experience in mental health and education, I work with children, teenagers, adults, and couples who are navigating anxiety, trauma, self-harm, relationship difficulties, and identity challenges.
My approach combines neuroscience, CBT, DBT, Schema Therapy, Mindfulness, and IFS, bringing together evidence-based methods with genuine empathy and authenticity.
About Our Aim and Mission
At Enliven, we believe mental health support should be EASY, AFFORDABLE, and ACCESSIBLE for everyone.
We know that struggling is hard enough. Seeking help should never add to that burden. That is why we take care of the process, the guidance, and the support, so you can focus fully on your healing and growth.
At Enliven, we offer more than therapy. We offer a space to rebuild at your own pace, a space where you are seen, valued, and cared for, and where your well-being truly matters. We see you, not your struggles, and we believe in your ability to rebuild, bounce back, and create a stronger, more resilient self. Our work is rooted in real care, honesty, and results. There is no sugarcoating, no pretenses, just practical, professional support that truly makes a difference.
We respect and value every person who comes through our doors, and we equally respect and value ourselves. Boundaries, fairness, and mutual respect form the foundation of everything we do.
