I can personally recommend the team of Lighthouse..... they have a phone assessment followed by one to one sessions.

The German Neuroscience Centre in JLT has a support group FREE of charge, they gather once a month 7 - 8pm. Their next group session is the 1st week of December though they don't have the confirmed date yet. There is a mixed group and there is a women only group. Both groups take as many members as the number of people signing up. Bear in mind this is NOT a one on one consultation or therapy session but a confidential group session where other people participate as well. Your friend can go there with her child but she needs to call in advance to register. They deal with depression, anxiety, migraines, etc... The Al Jalila Foundation offers treatment support for expats and Emiratis alike, your friend could apply for it online. There are certain documents required but they accept mental health related applications too. Your friend will have to see a psychologist or psychiatrist first who will have to write a medical report then file that online with the other required documents and the application form. If selected this could be a good long-term solution for a couple of appointments for her with a certified mental health professional.
