Someone I know is looking for counselling, but does not have insurance that covers psyche. Does anyone know of a good counsellor she can go to who is not charging 600dhs? This is simply not affordable to someone who isn't covered :(

Hey, I know a virtual counseling platform for Mental Health. Fitcy Health charges 300 DHS per session. So overall for 4 sessions in one month, it will cost you 1200 DHS and their first session is totally free! Try them out, I have been using them for 2 months now and they are really affordable plus I can attend from the comfort of my home. https://fitcyhealth.com/ Hope this helps!

Neetu Shah is a very skilled and an amazing Counselor and Life coach. Her sessions are quite affordable as well. I have been taking sessions with her and it has helped me tremendously in overcoming my fears, organizing my thoughts and streamlining my actions and habits as a parent and most importantly as a human being. She is turning my journey; of self exploration, parenting and of putting life learned lessons to work; into a creative form of art which is thoroughly refreshing and empowering. If you would like to reach her, you may find her contact details on https://www.discoverme.ae/

I am looking for a therapist (do not need somone who prescribes medication). Tried several and felt they were useless and just a waste of a huge amount of money. Any recommendations would be highly recommended.

Dr Raymond Hamden is also highly recommended, and a lovely man. see what apt you can get with him, then write him an email telling him briefly about your situation and that you dont have insurance. Ask him if he can help you out with the price

I don't think Johanna Richmond is a psychiatrist though. So she cant prescribe meds. But I would call her and book an appointment anyway - if you can get in to see her sooner than the others. There's also Melanie Schlatter, psychologist. I've been to her, she's very nice.

Hello, if you do a search on this website you will find some other recommendations, but you could start with Dr. Johanna Richmond @ 050 345 8076. Simpleasabc is correct, psychologists are not allowed to prescribe medicines.

I see Farah at Moving Forward and she charges 350, as she doesn't have an office at the moment. She is a psychologist/counselor. Will she be able to prescribe any medication?

You should also check to see if your company (or spouse's company) has an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) via your HR manager. Even if your health insurance does not cover mental health, the EAP may provide short term counseling for free (usually up to 6 sessions) either on the phone or face to face (though may have to ask specifically for face to face after initial phone consultation. Worth looking in to. It's a program that generally exists to help employees and their families get through difficult times for short term. *Also to add- some counsellors are willing to reduce fees based on inability to afford full fee. Just ask.

the psychologist at the Osteopathic Health Centre next to Choitrams on Al Wasl Road is 450AED - having seen several who she's not clicked with, my DD has found her fine, but that's not to say that your friend will as we're all different and what suits one doesn't suit others. HTH Thanks october. Do you know her name?
