FAQ

The distinction between Counselling and Psychotherapy is not always clear-cut. Traditionally, Psychotherapy, rooted in the medical model, is often seen as a longer-term approach that addresses deeper-rooted issues, while Counselling typically focuses on more immediate behavioural concerns over a shorter period. However, both involve talking therapies that allow individuals to explore their concerns in a safe, non-judgemental environment with a trained professional.

Coaching, on the other hand, centres on constructive change, personal development, and performance enhancement, focusing on the present to help individuals unlock their potential. Personal Consultancy combines the depth of Counselling and Psychotherapy with the practical, action-oriented approach of Coaching, bridging insight with tangible, life-enhancing change.

Dorottya offers a no-obligation “Chemistry Check” session to help you determine if her approach aligns with your personal or corporate needs. This session provides an opportunity to experience her methods and decide if her style resonates with you. If a different specialist would better support your goals, she is happy to provide referrals. With a commitment to confidentiality and extensive experience, Dorottya ensures a safe, professional, and tailored approach to help individuals and organisations achieve success.

Based in the UAE, Dorottya adheres strictly to the BACP and BPS codes of ethics, ensuring a safe and confidential environment for clients, whether in a therapeutic or organisational consultancy setting. She recognises the importance of trust and discretion, upholding the highest standards of confidentiality to allow clients to share openly. For organisational clients, she respects the confidentiality of sensitive information, handling data with professional care and in line with ethical and legal standards.
Confidentiality may only be limited in cases where there is a serious risk of harm to oneself or others, in which case appropriate actions will be taken to ensure safety. This commitment to confidentiality helps Dorottya create a secure space for individuals and organisations alike.

Individual sessions with Dorottya range from 50 to 90 minutes and can be structured as open-ended or fixed-term, allowing clients to continue for as long as they find it beneficial. Dorottya’s ultimate goal is to empower clients to reach a point where her support is no longer needed, signifying that the objectives of their therapeutic journey have been achieved.
Sessions are available on a flexible basis—weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. For clients seeking longer-term therapy, an initial weekly rhythm can help establish a strong therapeutic foundation. While a consistent weekly schedule is ideal, Dorottya understands the demands on professionals’ time and offers a flexible approach to accommodate changing schedules.
Currently, Dorottya meets clients primarily online and offers a limited number of in-person sessions at a location in Dubai.
