+18 YearsConsultant Psychiatrist
I’m Dr. Dina Naoum, Consultant Psychiatrist with MRCPsych (UK), MD, and MSc, and over 15 years of experience in psychiatry. My journey has taken me through top institutions in Egypt and the UK, and I now split my time between Egypt and Dubai.
I specialize in working with adults facing the emotional demands of modern life—whether it’s stress, anxiety, burnout, addiction, or complex mood and personality disorders. I believe in a patient-centered approach that blends clinical expertise with compassion, cultural sensitivity, and deep respect for each individual’s background and values.
Fluent in both English and Arabic, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where my patients can explore their mental health with dignity and confidence. I’ve had the privilege of leading psychiatric departments, co-founding a leading private clinic in Cairo, and contributing to global mental health awareness through media, education, and research.
Currently, I serve as a Visiting Consultant at Ardens Medical Center and coordinate their CME program. I have a particular interest in supporting women, professionals, and individuals dealing with cross-cultural or high-performance lifestyle pressures—especially relevant here in the UAE.
As a psychiatrist, my work goes beyond medication. I dedicate time in follow-up sessions to address the emotional and cognitive challenges my patients face especially in complex conditions like Borderline Personality Disorder and Obsessive compulsive disorder.
With a conversational, psychotherapeutic style, I help patients explore emotional dysregulation, rigid thinking patterns, and underlying fears or traumas. While I do not offer structured psychotherapy, my sessions often involve supportive techniques drawn from CBT and emotion-focused approaches, tailored to the individual.
My goal is to offer a safe and consistent space for those struggling with emotional intensity, intrusive thoughts, or unstable relationships creating room for insight, regulation, and gradual change.
