A city built in English, for a life lived in it
Therapy in English, online, wherever in the UAE you are. Choose your therapist and start this week.
The UAE runs largely in English, and its expatriate majority builds entire lives here — often far from home, on rolling contracts, with the strain that quietly comes with that.

Why therapy in English
Far from home, on a contract, in a city of strangers
Most people in the UAE are from somewhere else, living in English, often a long flight from anyone who knew them before. It's a particular kind of pressure: high-performing on the outside, unmoored underneath, with a social circle made mostly of other people passing through.
That's worth talking about, in the language you actually live in. Online, you choose from every therapist working in English, meet privately from home, and see the fee up front — no local waitlist, no navigating an unfamiliar system.
What we work with
What brings people here
Loneliness and isolation
When your social life is made entirely of colleagues, and everyone who knew you before is in another time zone.
Anxiety and chronic stress
Visas, contracts, rent, the low hum of living somewhere you could be asked to leave.
Depression and flatness
Especially the kind that is hard to name, because on paper the move worked.
Identity and belonging
Caught between where you're from and where you live, between who you were and whoever this is now.
Relationships and family
Including the strain of having moved together — or of having moved without them.
Homesickness and grief
For people, for a former life, for the version of yourself that existed before you left.
This is not a complete list. If you're struggling with something that isn't here, get in touch anyway. Therapy begins with you, not with a category — and it doesn't require you to have found the right word for it first.
How it works
Three steps
Choose your therapist, pick a time in your own zone, meet by video from home. Each profile shows the fee up front.
About Wefeel
What Wefeel is — and what it isn't
Wefeel is a place to find a therapist and arrange to meet them online. We verify that every therapist listed here is qualified to practise, and we give them a place to be found.
We are not a clinic and we are not a party to your therapy. The session is between you and your therapist, and it belongs to the two of you. What is said in it stays there.
Wefeel is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, the numbers below will reach someone right now.
If you need help right now
Wefeel is not a crisis service
If you are thinking about ending your life, or you're afraid of what you might do, please don't wait for an appointment. Emergency services answer at any hour, free of charge, and in English.

Common questions
Is it confidential?
Yes. What you say stays between you and your therapist, subject to the usual professional limits.
Does my employer or sponsor see anything?
No. There's no insurance claim and no paperwork.
Is the therapist in the UAE?
Usually not, and it makes no difference to an online session.
Reading

Articles about anxiety, sleep, grief, burnout and the rest of it — written by the people you can book a session with.
