Dr Millia Begum

Board Certified Psychiatrist

verified by TherapyRoute

I am Dr Millia. I have 25 years of experience as a psychiatrist and also as a trauma therapist. Known for my expertise and skills in the U.K. and now in the UAE. I am experienced in several trauma modalities including Deep Brain Reorienting therapy, EMDR and Internal Family Systems therapy.

About Me

I support individuals navigating the complex aftermath of distressing experiences. With 25 years as a psychiatrist and trauma therapist, I offer a grounded, experienced approach. I draw on modalities like DBR, EMDR and IFS therapy to help you process difficult memories and find stability. My background, honed in the UK and UAE, allows me to understand diverse challenges. I aim to create a space where you can gently explore your experiences and build resilience.

Approach

You’ll find the work unfolds in measured steps, with safety and practical skills established before deeper memory processing. In my Dubai clinic and through English-language online sessions I keep meetings steady, predictable and responsive to your pace. We map reactions, attend to bodily signals and different internal parts, and use focused bilateral and relational techniques so memories lose their charge while daily coping strengthens. This way of working tends to suit adults seeking clear, clinically informed support after distressing experiences.
