Micheal Salameh

Corporate Mental Wellness Specialist - Freelance, Dubai, UAE
I specialise in delivering workshops on mental health for employees, focusing on fostering supportive workplaces, managing stress, enhancing well-being, and promoting mental health awareness.

Assistant Manager, Corporate Finance & Business Development - DP World, Dubai, UAE

I assessed financial strategies and business growth, boosting critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, understanding of organizational behavior, human motivation, data interpretation, research, and collaboration skills.

Senior Associate, Business Valuation Services Team - Deloitte, Dubai, UAE

I managed a team evaluating large corporations across various sectors, enhancing my skills in communication, collaboration, conflict resolution, and understanding team dynamics, which are crucial for effective team management.

Senior Associate, Core Assurance Team - PwC, Dubai, UAE

I managed audits across Middle Eastern industries, enhancing my analytical thinking, attention to detail, and communication skills, crucial for understanding complex behaviours and fostering empathy.

After a successful career in finance and recently completing a conversion MSc in Psychology from the University of Glasgow, where I graduated with Distinction, I am eager to transition into a role in the field of psychology.

My background in finance has given me strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to thrive in fast-paced environments. However, my true passion lies in understanding human behaviour and supporting mental well-being, which led me to switch to psychology.

During my master’s program, I gained a solid foundation in psychological theories and research methodologies. I have hands-on experience conducting experiments, analysing data, and developing the interpersonal and communication skills essential for effective therapeutic relationships. 

Additionally, I am currently undergoing CBT training with the Beck Institute, further enhancing my skills in evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

I believe my experience in finance has provided me with valuable transferable skills for a role in psychology. I excel at managing complex tasks, collaborating in interdisciplinary teams, and demonstrating empathy and compassion.

I am confident that my passion for psychology, combined with my work ethic and dedication, will enable me to excel in this role.
