Online Therapy in Dubai

How online therapy works

Online sessions are conducted via video call — 50 minutes, in the same format as in-person sessions. No specialist software is required. A secure, private space on your side is all that is needed.

The quality of therapeutic work online is equivalent to in-person sessions for most presentations. Many clients find that the convenience and privacy of online sessions makes the work more consistent — fewer missed appointments, easier scheduling across demanding workweeks, and access to sessions while travelling.

Who online therapy suits

• Professionals with demanding or unpredictable schedules
• Clients who travel frequently and need sessions that travel with them
• Expats and internationally mobile individuals based in Dubai or elsewhere
• People who prefer the privacy of their own space for therapeutic conversations
• Clients outside Dubai or the UAE who want to work with a Dubai-based psychologist
• Couples where one or both partners work non-standard hours
• English, Russian, or Ukrainian-speaking clients anywhere in the world
• People exploring therapy for the first time who find in-person sessions more daunting

What can be addressed online

Online sessions are available for the full range of individual and couples work: anxiety and overthinking, emotional regulation, burnout and stress, relationship patterns, couples counselling, self-worth and inner critic work, and life transitions.

There is no reduction in depth or effectiveness for most therapeutic work conducted online. The relational quality of the therapeutic process — which is central to the work — transfers fully to a video setting.

Languages and availability

Online sessions are available in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. Scheduling is flexible to accommodate different time zones — including clients based in Europe, the UK, and North America as well as the UAE and wider Gulf region. For clients who prefer to work in Russian, psychology sessions in Russian are available from the first session. For Ukrainian-speaking clients, dedicated information is also available in Ukrainian on the Ukrainian-speaking psychologist page.

Sessions are available in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. In-person sessions are offered in Dubai, with online continuity available for clients whose work, travel, or relocation takes them between different locations.
