According to Therapist and life coach Anne Jackson, travel anxiety varies for each individual, and it’s essential to understand the core of anxiety first. Fortunately for me, Jackson is quickly able to pinpoint the core of my problem, “your unconscious brain has made a powerful connection: travelling somewhere new means I could get shut down again. Even though you know, consciously, that the world has changed, a deeper part of your mind is sounding the alarm.”

Presenter Jen Crichton and Therapeutic Coach Anne Jackson have a compelling conversation on caring across generations and borders

As the landscape of healthcare rapidly evolves across the globe, psychological care is undergoing a critical and long overdue transformation.

What was once considered a quiet corner of medical practice has now become a key pillar of comprehensive health and wellness. In the UAE and wider Middle East, momentum is building, driven by shifting cultural attitudes, digital innovation, and a new generation of healthcare professionals and policymakers determined to prioritise mental health.

Anne Jackson, a highly skilled Dubai-based therapist and founder of One Life Coaching ME, is described as a “divorce doula”. With her training in psychotherapy, Jackson focuses on the practical, emotional, professional, and moving-forward aspects, including addressing past traumas that may be holding a person back

“For decades, career breaks were career killers,” says Anne Jackson, Founder of One Life Coaching Middle East. “A gap on your CV meant lost momentum, outdated skills, and missed promotions. But in high-performance cities like Dubai, Doha, and Riyadh, the most forward-thinking professionals are doing something radical: they’re deliberately building in those gaps—not as a sign of failure, but as a competitive advantage”

Anne Jackson, a UAE-based therapeutic coach, describes the challenge of supporting elderly parents in another country as an ’emotional tug-of-war’, and one that can be harder, the further away your family might be.

Making friends as an adult is hard everywhere. But in Dubai, it comes with its own set of challenges. Apart from the heat-induced introversion that kicks in every summer, many people are here for work, not connection. They’re chasing big dreams, building careers, reinventing themselves, so friendship often lands low on their priority list.

If you’re a therapist, relationship expert, or life coach, you may be surprised by how difficult it is as an adult to form and maintain friendships.

After all, your job is to help others do just that - connect, communicate, and build fulfilling relationships. Yet many people in the helping professions find themselves struggling with loneliness, limited time, or difficulty finding like-minded peers.

It’s a common belief that a major change -  such as a new city, a new job or a new relationship -  can be the antidote to our inner unrest and so we often seek solace in these shifts, hoping they’ll wash away our confusion, our sadness, or our lack of fulfilment.

“Uncollected luggage is not about people not being bothered and walking away,” says Anne Jackson, a life coach based in Dubai. “It’s often a psychological trade-off.”

Life coach Anne Jackson bought her JVC villa off-plan in 2006 with little idea of how the community would grow. “Back then, the plan announced by master developer Nakheel in 2004 sounded idyllic: a central park with a radial design, office spaces, villa clusters, apartment complexes, schools, supermarkets and even a European-style tram,” she told The National.

“I would not for a moment tell a medical student or a medical professional to avoid stress, that would be silly. In this profession, there is no avoiding it, the hours are long, the stakes are high and people’s lives, quite literally, depend on you.”
