The health regulator's licensing rules say a facility should declare its costs and consultation fees to the public before the service is given. Bahrain sets no private fee scale itself. On the public side, the Ministry of Health calls the health centres the first point of contact.
Specialist care sits at the Psychiatric Hospital, which the Ministry describes as secondary and tertiary.

Registration and licensing
Bahrain regulates its health professionals through one national authority, the National Health Regulatory Authority. Psychologists, psychiatrists and allied health professionals all fall within it, so a single licensing question covers most of what a Bahraini listing carries.
Ask a practitioner whether they hold that licence. Where a title sits outside those categories, this authority's list is not the check that answers. Psychologist, psychotherapist and psychometrist are separate NHRA licence titles.
A psychotherapist practises under the supervision of a licensed psychiatrist or psychologist, and a psychometrist only under a licensed psychologist's onsite supervision.
Real choice. Authentic, independent, clinician-led care.
TherapyRoute is a clinician-led directory that champions independent practitioners who answer to you and their professional ethics. We don't take commissions, sell your data, or assign therapists by algorithm. You browse, compare, and choose.
