Initial consultation
We listen to your concerns, understand your child’s or your own history, and talk about what you hope to achieve.
Personalised plan
Our team recommends the right programme (ABA, counselling, parent guidance or a combination) with clear goals.

Frequently asked questions
What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps children build communication, social, learning and everyday living skills, and reduce behaviours that get in the way. Goals are broken into small, achievable steps and progress is measured regularly.
Who is ABA therapy for?
ABA is most often used with children on the autism spectrum and children with other developmental or behavioural needs. Every child is assessed individually first, so the programme fits their needs.
What happens at the first consultation?
We take time to listen. We’ll ask about your concerns, history and goals, answer your questions, and recommend the most suitable programme and next steps.
Do parents take part in therapy?
Yes. Parents are an important part of progress. Through our Parent Guidance Program we share strategies you can use at home and review your child’s progress with you regularly.
Is counselling confidential?
Yes. What you share in sessions is kept confidential in line with professional ethical standards.
Is Elixir Helps licensed?
Yes. Elixir Helps Psychology & Behavioural Therapy L.L.C is licensed by the Community Development Authority (CDA), Dubai, as a social facility.
