If you’re reading this…
A different kind of psychological support.
You don’t need to be unwell to need support. Sometimes life becomes difficult, circumstances change, old ways of coping stop working, or you simply need help understanding what you’re feeling and finding a way forward.
Our psychologists are licensed and work with evidence-based approaches, while seeing you first as a person — not a medical case.
Support for what you’re going through.
Whatever brings you here matters. You don’t need to put a label on it before reaching out. This simple idea is at the heart of how we work.
Professional care, shaped around you.
Our licensed psychologists are trained in evidence-based talking therapies that can help with anxiety, difficult emotions, painful experiences, relationship and family challenges, and times of change.
We choose the approach around you, your circumstances and what you need — not the other way around.
Beside you, not above you.
We’re not here to tell you what is wrong with you. We’re here to understand what you’re going through and help you move forward.

Burnout & rebuilding
Four steps. The first one is small on purpose.
Some people may need around 8 sessions, some fewer, and others more. You and your therapist will decide together what feels right for you, reviewing your progress along the way.
Most work takes 8–20 sessions; we review the rhythm with you every six sessions. The aim is your independence, not your loyalty.

Common questions about therapy in Dubai
What's the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist in Dubai?
A psychologist is a licensed clinician with a master’s or doctorate in psychology — psychologists do therapy and psychological assessments but do not prescribe medication. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can prescribe. At Dr. Ola Wellness Hub, all of our clinicians are CDA- or DHA-licensed psychologists. If you need a psychiatric medication review, we will refer you to a trusted Dubai psychiatrist on your first call
How do I know if I need therapy or just a rough patch?
A rough patch usually lifts within a few weeks once the immediate stressor passes. If something has lasted longer than six weeks — persistent low mood, anxiety, sleep disruption, panic, difficulty focusing, or a sense of being stuck — therapy is likely worth a conversation. You don’t have to be in crisis to come. Most of our clients say in session one that they wish they had come months or years earlier.
Do you take insurance in Dubai?
Yes — we direct-bill with most major UAE insurers including Daman, AXA, Cigna, Bupa Global, ADNIC, Oman Insurance, MetLife, and others. Coverage levels vary by plan tier. Send us your provider name on WhatsApp (+971 58 683 7652) and we will confirm coverage within 24 hours, before you book.
Can I see a psychologist online in Dubai?
Online sessions may be available, depending on your support needs. Contact us on WhatsApp to confirm availability and suitability.
Do you have psychologists who speak Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic or Urdu?
Yes, we have psychologists who speak different languages. Let us know your preferred language on WhatsApp, and we’ll help you find a suitable therapist.
How much does therapy cost at Dr. Ola Wellness Hub?
All sessions — individual and couples — are 60 minutes. We publish our out-of-pocket rates on our fees page, but most clients with insurance pay significantly less than the listed rate after direct billing. The 15-minute initial WhatsApp call is always free, with no commitment. Send us your insurance details and we will confirm your exact cost within 24 hours.
Where is your clinic in Dubai?
Our clinic is in Office 1205, JBC4, Cluster N, Jumeirah Lake Towers, Dubai — two minutes’ walk from JLT metro station (Red Line). Building parking is available in the basement. We are open Tuesday to Saturday 9am–6pm, Sunday 10am–6pm, closed Monday. We offer online and in-person appointments.
What happens in the first session?
Your first session is 60 minutes (individual or couples — both 60 minutes). We start with a few practical questions — consent, confidentiality, how the session works — then the time is yours. You don’t need to bring a tidy story or a goal. Most people don’t have either on day one. We listen, ask clarifying questions, and offer one practical thing to notice or try before session two.
