Therapy in English, for a life built far from home
Private, online, on your schedule. Choose your therapist and start this week.
Dubai is a city where almost everyone came from somewhere else, works in English, and is a long flight from anyone who knew them before.
Our therapists
Therapists who work in English
Sessions are online and private — where the therapist is based doesn't matter, and neither does where you are in the city.

Why it matters here
A city of arrivals, high-performing and unmoored
Dubai's population is overwhelmingly expatriate — people who came for the work and the tax-free salary, living in English, often on rolling contracts far from family. The surface is polished and high-achieving; underneath, isolation and burnout are common and rarely admitted. Privacy matters here, which is part of why talking to someone online, in your own language, from your own home, suits the place. You choose from every therapist working in English.
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.
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.
High-performing and struggling are not opposites
A lot of people here are doing well on paper and quietly running on empty. That's worth talking about, not powering through.
Reading
Written by the therapists themselves
Articles about anxiety, sleep, grief, burnout and the rest of it — written by the people you can book a session with.
If you need help right now
Wefeel is not a crisis service

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 Dubai?
Usually not, and it makes no difference to an online session.
Start in your own language
Read the profiles, take your time, and choose someone you can talk to properly. No waiting list, and no need to do this in a language that isn't yours.
