About Louise

Dr. Louise Lambert is a psychologist, researcher, and internationally recognized wellbeing expert who brings the science of happiness and human connection to life. With over 20 years of experience working with governments, healthcare institutions, and private sector organizations, she is known for translating rigorous research into engaging, relatable experiences.

Her sessions blend evidence-based positive psychology with humour, practical examples and the small absurdities that make life what it is. She invites people to reflect, take their happiness more seriously, and leave with insights and strategies they can actually use. The result is wellbeing programming that is credible without being clinical, thoughtful without being heavy, and joyful without being superficial.

Dr. Louise Lambert is a leading wellbeing expert living in Dubai, UAE. A former university professor and clinical psychology supervisor, she brought positive psychology to life, founding the Middle East Journal of Positive Psychology, a peer-reviewed academic journal investigating the roots of wellbeing. She is also the Editor of the first positive psychology university textbook and continues her work as a researcher with over 50 peer-reviewed studies in wellbeing and happiness.
