If you want to work as a psychologist, the first thing you need to do is find out what the term "psychologist" actually means in Dubai and broader UAE.  Can anyone call themselves a psychologist?  Do you need a ph.d, or a masters? 

 

I did a quick google search and could not find the answer, but I did find the following article

 

http://www.apa.org/international/pi/2012/12/uae-program.aspx

 

particularly relevant

 

"Psychology is a relatively new profession in the region, so there are few jobs for clinical psychologists in the public sector. While there is a growing need for such services, the public remains largely unaware of what clinical psychologists do and how these services can benefit society. In private practice, on the other hand, the profession seems to be vibrant as there are dozens of practitioners in Dubai alone. We are confident that as the need and awareness of clinical psychology services grow, there will be an increased demand for graduates of this program."

 

 

Assuming you are discussing clinical psychology, the best path from this seems to be private practice.  Given that there are seemingly few academic jobs, and that private practice rates vary greatly, it will probably be difficult to get an average monthly salary figure.
