Mental health support in the UAE is becoming more accessible thanks to Counsel Clinic, a Dubai-based online therapy platform breaking down barriers of cost, stigma, and accessibility. Since its launch in 2024, the clinic has quickly become a trusted destination for both Emiratis and expatriates seeking confidential, culturally sensitive therapy.

Breaking Barriers to Mental Health

For many in the UAE, seeking therapy has long been shadowed by stigma and logistical hurdles. Counsel Clinic is changing that. By offering fully online sessions, the platform eliminates the need for travel and reduces the social pressures often associated with walking into a clinic.

“Our vision has always been to make therapy less intimidating, more affordable, and truly accessible to everyone in the UAE,” says Ibrahim Hamid, CEO of Counsel Clinic. “Since launching in 2024, we’ve seen an encouraging response. Emiratis and expats alike are opening up to therapy when given a safe, private, and respectful space online.”

Affordable and Inclusive Care

Pricing has often been a barrier to professional support, but Counsel Clinic offers sessions starting at just 180 AED. This affordability, combined with multilingual therapy options—including Arabic, English, Urdu, Bengali, Malayalam, German, French, and Spanish—ensures that support feels both professional and culturally relevant.

Wide-Ranging Services

The clinic’s services cover a broad spectrum of needs, from marriage and couples counseling to specialized therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, eating disorders, OCD, ADHD, and anger management. By providing tailored support for individuals, couples, and families, Counsel Clinic meets people wherever they are on their mental health journey.

Creating Safe Spaces Online

With an emphasis on privacy, trust, and cultural sensitivity, Counsel Clinic is not just offering therapy—it’s normalizing the act of seeking help in a society where mental health discussions are still growing. Its success reflects a shifting mindset: more UAE residents are embracing therapy as an essential part of wellbeing.
