Connect Psychology is a psychology practice in Fortune Executive Tower, JLT, working with children, adults, couples and families. For children, it offers therapy for things like anxiety, behavioural difficulties, anger and changes at home or school, using play, art and talking therapies, with parents given guidance on how to support progress at home. It also offers Parent Child Interaction Therapy and therapy for autistic children. Alongside therapy, the team runs assessments: early years, educational and learning, ADHD, autism, and combined ADHD and autism, with feedback and a written report. Its educational psychologists can visit nearby nurseries and schools to observe a child. The team includes clinical and educational psychologists and a child and adolescent counsellor and psychotherapist. The practice says its psychologists are HCPC-registered and hold Dubai licences, and it describes its approach as trauma-sensitive and attachment-aware. Sessions run in the clinic or by video, and fees are published on its website. It is a clinical service rather than a drop-in class, so it starts with an initial consultation.

The activity

Creative & Play Therapy, explained

Play and creative therapy uses toys, games, drawing and other hands-on activities to help children express feelings they may not yet have the words for. Instead of sitting and talking like an adult would, a child plays or makes art while a trained therapist watches, joins in and gently reflects back what comes up. It is used for worries, big emotions, behaviour changes, family changes and school difficulties. Over time it can build emotional awareness, communication and coping skills, and parents are usually involved so progress carries on at home. It suits young children especially, and many therapists also combine it with talking therapy as children get older.

Who it's for

Children, teenagers and families (the practice also sees adults and couples). The child therapy page says it supports "toddlers & children of all ages"; no set age bands are published. Therapy is offered for anxiety, behavioural difficulties, anger and emotional regulation, and for autistic children. Assessments cover early years development, learning, ADHD and autism.

What to expect

Everything starts with an initial consultation, where you talk through your concerns and set goals. After that, your child's therapist builds a personalised plan using play-based and creative techniques, art or talking therapy depending on their needs, and gives you guidance on how to reinforce progress at home. Sessions can be in person in JLT or by video (Zoom). For assessments, expect questionnaires for parents and teachers, meetings, often a nursery or school observation, and then a feedback meeting and written report. Session frequency and how many sessions a child may need: ask the provider.
