You’ve built a life here.
How are the two of you doing?
Perhaps Dubai was a shared adventure, but one of you has settled in more easily. One career has taken off while the other person is still finding their feet.
​
Family feels far away. Visits home need negotiating. Conversations about how long you’ll stay keep getting postponed.
​
You can appreciate the life you’ve built and still want something to change between you.
​
Let’s make room for that conversation.
Your relationship. Your next step.
Seven weeks, a day or a weekend away, find your way to reconnect, have fun and make time for each other.

​
There’s space for difficult conversations, and for bringing friendship, romance and playfulness back into your relationship.
Real couples in Dubai. Real change.
Explore client feedback and programme results, including experiences shared by couples in Dubai.
Living abroad gave us an exciting life, but it also brought pressure we had not expected. Long working hours, frequent travel and being far from family slowly created distance between us. The programme helped us reconnect and feel like partners again, not simply two people managing a busy life in Dubai.

khalid & Sara, Dubai
We come from different cultures, and what felt normal to one of us could feel dismissive or confusing to the other. Simon helped us talk about those differences without deciding that either person was wrong. We now understand each other’s needs much more clearly.

Adrien & Noora, Dubai
Our schedules were constantly changing, so traditional counselling never felt realistic. Being able to join online, even when one of us was travelling, made it possible to keep the momentum going. The process was focused, discreet and practical, which suited both of us.

Jason & Claire, Singapore
Work with someone who understands starting over.

​

​
His approach is warm, direct and curious about what makes your relationship yours.
