Before you decide

Not sure you need a session?

The question Rayan Aljuhani suggests

«Has what I'm going through started to affect my quality of life, or does it keep repeating in a way I don't understand?»

Read the transcript

When should I see a psychologist? This question comes up a lot, inside the clinic and outside it. We need to stress that not all psychological suffering is a disorder, and not every emotional pain needs a diagnosis or a label. So I think the useful question is: has what I'm going through started to affect my quality of life, or does it keep repeating in a way I don't understand? If your answer is yes, here are some practical signs that can help you decide: Ongoing worry that uses up a large part of your energy. Low mood that lasts a long time, or keeps coming back. Trouble sleeping because of overthinking. Avoiding certain situations for fear of discomfort or failure. Repeating patterns in relationships: the same kind of arguments, the same problems, and the same endings. Difficulty setting clear boundaries with others. Or you may be going through a life transition: marriage, having a child, or a career change. Or you simply feel stuck and unable to move forward, even though there is no clear crisis or breakdown in your life. These situations don't necessarily mean something is wrong, but they may point to a need to understand what's happening and organise it more effectively through therapy. Therapy isn't only for easing and managing symptoms; it's also a tool for building psychological resilience and making the same problems less likely to return. We need to remember that therapy isn't only for easing the symptoms you have, but also for developing skills and building resilience that help you handle challenges better. Stay well — Safaa.

If your answer is yes, you'll probably recognise yourself in one of these — and each one has specialists who work on it:

  1. Worry and mood that don't settle

    • Ongoing worry that uses up a large part of your energy.
    • Low mood that lasts a long time, or keeps coming back.
  2. Long nights, and avoiding

    • Trouble sleeping because of overthinking.
    • Avoiding certain situations for fear of discomfort or failure.
  3. The same loop with people

    • Repeating patterns in relationships: the same kind of arguments, the same problems, and the same endings.
    • Difficulty setting clear boundaries with others.
  4. A new stage, or feeling stuck

    • A life transition: marriage, having a child, or a career change.
    • Or you simply feel stuck and unable to move forward, even though there is no clear crisis or breakdown in your life.
These situations don't necessarily mean something is wrong, but they may point to a need to understand what's happening and organise it more effectively.

Questions before you book

Straight answers about price, booking and the session.
How much is a session, and how long is it?

It depends on the specialist. Each specialist's card above shows the price and length of their sessions, in Saudi riyals — that's what you pay, with nothing added. Your first session is 15% off; sessions after it are at the regular price. You see the final amount before you pay.

How do I book? Do I need the app?

Not for an online session: tap “Book” on the specialist's card, pick a time, verify your mobile number with a code and enter your national ID or Iqama number, then pay with mada, Apple Pay or your card. Your confirmation arrives by text message. In-person sessions at the center are booked in the Safaa app, currently available on iPhone.

How does the session work?

It depends on what the specialist offers: online by video call, or in person at the center. Each specialist's card shows the formats available. Online sessions are booked here; in-person sessions in the Safaa app.

How do I choose the right specialist?

Read what each specialist works on, and open “About this specialist” if you'd like more. Choose whoever feels closest to what you're going through — you don't need to be certain: the first session itself helps you tell whether they're a good fit.

What happens in the first session?

The first minutes are usually an introduction and questions about where you are, and you share what you want at your own pace. Near the end you agree on the next step together: follow-up sessions, tools inside Safaa, or both.

Can I change or cancel my appointment?

Yes. If you booked here, contact Safaa to move or cancel it; cancel 24 hours or more before the session and the full amount is refunded to the same payment method. If you booked in the app, you can move it to another time in the same week or cancel it there, up to 24 hours before. With less than 24 hours to go, contact Safaa and we'll help.

How is my privacy protected?

We handle your data under our privacy policy, and we don't send your answers or any details about your situation to advertising platforms.

Is it covered by health insurance?

Yes — we currently accept Tree, with more insurers to follow.

What if I'm in distress right now?

Don't wait for an appointment. Call the mental health support line 920033360, or emergency services on 911.

Your guide to booking online therapy in Saudi Arabia

What to know before your first online session, in short.

What is an online therapy session?

A session with a mental health specialist over a video call from your phone instead of a clinic visit. It usually starts with getting to know your situation and what you want to work on, then you and your specialist agree on a plan that suits you. You can join from anywhere in Saudi Arabia, somewhere you feel comfortable.

What's the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?

A psychologist offers talking-based counselling and therapy — for anxiety, low mood or relationships, for example. A psychiatrist is a physician who assesses and prescribes medication when needed. On Safaa, each specialist's focus areas and bio are on their card, so you know who you'll be speaking with before you book.

What do the specialists work on?

It varies by specialist. You'll find it on each card and under “About this specialist”, so you can choose whoever is closest to what you're going through.

How much does an online session cost?

It depends on the specialist and the session length. You see the price before you confirm, and that's what you pay, with nothing added.

Does online therapy work?

Several studies suggest online sessions achieve results comparable to in-person sessions in many cases. Results differ from person to person; feeling comfortable with your specialist and sticking with the plan you agree on both help.

How do I book a session on Safaa?

Choose a specialist on this page and tap “Book” on their card, then pick a time. Verify your mobile number with a code, enter your national ID or Iqama number, review the total and pay with mada, Apple Pay or your card; your confirmation and booking link arrive by text message. In-person sessions at the center are booked in the Safaa app on iPhone.
