Online Counselling for Children and Adolescents
Confidential, Accessible, Child-Centred Support From Licensed Specialists
At Alamaani, we understand that children and young people may face emotional, behavioural, or social challenges that require professional support. Our online counselling service provides safe, secure access to licensed child therapists who are trained in psychology, emotional development, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Parents can browse our catalogue of therapists through the Alamaani online platform, select a professional, book appointments, and receive support without leaving home.
Online therapy offers the same quality of care as in-person sessions, while providing increased comfort, privacy, and flexibility—making it an ideal option for families across the UAE.
What Is Online Counselling?
Online counselling connects children and adolescents with a licensed therapist using secure video sessions. Therapy is delivered in a structured, supportive environment, allowing children to explore their feelings, understand their behaviours, and learn healthy coping strategies with the guidance of a trained professional.
Similar to platforms such as BetterHelp, the focus is on accessibility, confidentiality, and matching families with a therapist whose expertise aligns with the child’s needs.
Why Choose Alamaani Online Counselling?
Licensed Child Therapists With UAE Experience
All counsellors are fully qualified and licensed mental health professionals with experience supporting children and adolescents across the Emirates. They understand cultural expectations, family dynamics, and school environments in the UAE
Confidential and Secure
Sessions are conducted via an encrypted platform designed to maintain privacy. Children and parents can feel confident that all conversations remain confidential.
Comfort and Familiarity
Online counselling allows children to speak with a therapist from the comfort of their own home. This often makes them feel more at ease, more open to sharing, and more consistent in attending sessions.
Flexible Scheduling
Families can choose session times that suit their routine. Therapists offer a range of weekday and weekend availability.
Easy Therapist Matching
Parents can browse therapist profiles, compare qualifications and specialties, and book directly through the Alamaani platform. This ensures a good fit from the beginning.
Continuity of Care
Whether families move between Emirates, travel, or experience schedule changes, therapy can continue uninterrupted online.

Our child specialists are experienced in working with students in the UAE and can support:
- Emotional regulation

Reduced Stigma
