About Vivamus

Vivamus is a psychology and therapy clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, with clinical psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists who see adults, couples, children and teenagers. For families, the clinic offers child and adolescent therapy, child and adolescent psychiatry, speech and language therapy, and psychological assessments. Its psychologists tailor therapy to the child's age and needs, using play-based therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and parent-child work, and often work alongside parents so support continues at home. The assessments page lists cognitive, educational (for example dyslexia and dyscalculia), ADHD and autism assessments, including ADOS-2, with a written report and feedback for parents and schools. The child and teen team named on the site includes clinical psychologists with interests in anxiety, neurodiversity, trauma and working with schools, plus an English and German speaking child and adolescent psychiatrist. Online and in-person appointments are available. This is a clinic rather than a class or club: you get in touch, and the team replies within 24 hours on working days to talk through next steps.

The activity

Creative & Play Therapy, explained

Play-based therapy uses toys, drawing, games and make-believe as the way a child talks about feelings they can't yet put into words. A trained psychologist watches and joins in the play, helping the child make sense of worries, big emotions or difficult experiences, and builds coping skills step by step. For older children and teenagers it is often combined with talking approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Parents usually meet the therapist too, so the support carries on at home. It is a clinical service rather than a class: families normally start with a consultation to decide whether it is the right fit for their child.

Who it's for

Children and teenagers (the site does not publish an age range; ask the provider), and their parents or caregivers. The clinic also sees adults and couples. Child concerns listed on the site include anxiety, low mood, school refusal, changes in behaviour, ADHD and learning difficulties, and autism.

What to expect

Start with the contact form, phone or email; the clinic says a member of the team replies within 24 hours during the working week. Therapy is tailored to each child's age and needs and may use play-based therapy, CBT and parent-child work, with parents often involved. For assessments, the process may include a parent consultation, liaison with your child's school, formal testing, a written report with recommendations and feedback sessions for parents and schools. Session length, fees and insurance are not published: ask the provider. The clinic does not offer an emergency service.
