Reduced Fee Program
Accessible Mental Healthcare
At The Psychiatry and Therapy Centre (TPTC), we understand that access to quality mental healthcare can be a challenge for many. To help address this, we’ve introduced the Reduced Fee Program, offering professional psychotherapy and counselling services at a reduced rate.
This initiative is designed to make mental health support more accessible to individuals who may be facing financial barriers.
Our CDA licensed Assistant Psychologists who are Master’s level qualified, deliver this program working under the supervision of our experienced team of psychiatrists and clinicians, providing safe and compassionate care.
Our program takes an integrative approach, offering meaningful support at an affordable rate for individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional concerns. By combining evidence-based treatments with a personalised approach, we tailor our approach to the
client’s specific needs, ensuring comprehensive and effective support.
This program is also part of TPTC’s commitment to the UAE’s broader goal of expanding mental health services in the region, in line with national efforts to enhance awareness of mental health.
