Anxiety recovery in Abu Dhabi: what English speakers need to know

Austin Thomas·LAR Certified Coach·5 min read

Abu Dhabi has world-class healthcare — but finding effective, English-language anxiety recovery is harder than it should be. Here is what you need to know.

Abu Dhabi is a city of ambition, capital-city pace, and high standards in almost every area of life. Healthcare is no exception — the city has invested enormously in its medical infrastructure. Many English speakers still look for anxiety support that fits around work and family life.

Licensed doctors, psychiatrists and psychologists in Abu Dhabi can offer assessment, medication and evidence-based therapies such as CBT. These are important options, and anyone with significant symptoms should start there.

Coaching is different: it is educational support drawing on Threat Recalibration Therapy (TRT), developed by the Institute of Applied Psychophysiology. It is delivered via Zoom, Phone, or FaceTime and can sit alongside clinical care. It is not a diagnosis or a replacement for it.

Sessions are arranged at times that work around your schedule. You contact us, we discuss suitability and availability, and you can choose a coach.

If you are living with anxiety disorder in Abu Dhabi — whether in Khalidiyah, Al Reem Island, Saadiyat, Yas Island, or anywhere else in the emirate — you are welcome to get in touch.
