LED BY CATHY WINTERBOER

Couples Relationship & Emotional Intelligence Coach based in Dubai

Cathy Winterboer is a Couples Relationship and Emotional Intelligence Coach with over two decades of real-world experience and more than 5,000 hours of coaching practice, supporting couples in Dubai and across the UAE. Her work is especially effective for multicultural relationships, where different communication styles, expectations, and cultural norms can easily lead to misunderstanding. Cathy’s approach is science-informed, practical, and focused on outcomes that hold up in everyday life—not just in sessions.

Living in Dubai often means navigating high-pressure careers, relocation stress, blended cultures, and differing emotional languages. Cathy understands that when people feel unheard, overwhelmed, or misunderstood—especially across cultural lines—the nervous system shifts into protection mode. In those moments, good intentions disappear, defensiveness rises, and conversations quickly derail. Couples Coaching helps couples recognise these reactions early, regulate emotional responses, and communicate with clarity before conflict escalates.

This work is not theoretical or culturally prescriptive. It is applied, respectful, and measurable—helping couples replace unconscious patterns with intentional ways of relating that work across backgrounds, beliefs, and life experiences. The result is calmer communication, deeper understanding, and stronger connection in the realities of modern life in Dubai.
