My Clinical Background & Credentials

While my life coaching practice in Dubai focuses on empowering adults through psychodynamic coaching approaches, my background runs much deeper.

I bring extensive clinical experience to my coaching work:

  • BACP Accredited Counsellor (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy)

  • EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)

  • Years of clinical practice working with clients in the UK and Internationally

This clinical foundation gives me a unique understanding of the deeper psychological patterns and trauma responses that often underlie the struggles adults face. While my Dubai-based life coaching practice operates separately from my UK counselling work, this extensive clinical background informs my coaching approach and ensures you're working with someone who truly understands the complexities of the human experience.

Note: My counselling and EMDR services are available to clients living outside the UAE and Gulf states. Alongside this, I offer life coaching to individuals both in the UAE/Gulf region and around the world.

Pete Tobias is a certified psychodynamic life coach specialising in work with adults. Alongside his coaching practice, he is a BACP Accredited Counsellor and EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, bringing depth, rigour, and a strong understanding of how past experience shapes present-day patterns.

His work integrates life coaching, somatic awareness, and individual relationship coaching, supporting clients to move beyond feeling stuck or overwhelmed and towards more grounded, sustainable ways of living and relating.
