Compassionate, Collaborative, Personalised Support
Child & Adolescent Therapy in Dubai
It is not always easy for young people to express how they feel. At Vivamus, we offer child and adolescent therapy that supports emotional wellbeing, strengthens resilience and helps young people manage life’s challenges with more confidence.
We work with both children and teenagers, and involve parents or caregivers as needed to ensure support continues beyond the therapy room.
Early support can make a lasting difference.
Therapy provides a safe space for young people to talk, reflect and build skills to manage how they feel. Many children and teenagers benefit from having a trusted professional to help them make sense of their emotions and experiences.
Signs Your Child Might Benefit from Support
You might notice your child or teen is:
- More withdrawn or anxious than usual
- Refusing school or falling behind academically
- Showing low mood, anger or changes in behaviour
- Avoiding friends or social activities
- Struggling with sleep, appetite or focus
- Worrying excessively or needing constant reassurance
- Expressing negative thoughts about themselves or others
Even if the signs are subtle, it is worth checking in. Trust your instincts.
How We Work with Children and Teenagers
We tailor therapy to the age and needs of each young person. Our psychologists use a range of approaches including play-based therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and parent-child work to support emotional development and practical coping.
We often work alongside parents or caregivers to offer guidance, answer questions and help you feel more confident supporting your child’s progress.
If you’d like to learn how these approaches can support your child, book an appointment with one of our psychologists today.
