Frequently asked questions
Is online therapy as effective as in-person sessions?
Research shows that video therapy works as well as face-to-face sessions for many common difficulties such as anxiety and depression. What matters most is finding the right therapist and attending regularly.
Are my sessions confidential?
Yes. Sessions are private between you and your therapist, and therapists are bound by professional confidentiality. Nothing you say is shared with anyone else, except where the law requires it to protect your life or someone else’s.
Who are the therapists on Sycura?
Licensed psychotherapists and psychiatrists. We check each therapist’s qualifications and license before they join, and their profile shows their specialties, languages and experience.
Can I see an Arabic-speaking therapist if I live abroad?
Yes. You can filter therapists by language, and available times are shown in your local time zone wherever you are, in the Gulf, Europe or North America.
Can a psychiatrist prescribe medication online?
That depends on the laws where you live and on the psychiatrist’s assessment. Your psychiatrist will explain what is possible and safe in your situation.
Is Sycura suitable for emergencies?
No. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest hospital now.
