Psychology Clinic
in Dubai
Online & In-Person

At Almond Blossoms, we have created a confidential, supportive, and modern mental health clinic in Dubai, providing specialised care for a wide range of psychological difficulties and conditions.

We offer individual counseling and psychotherapy for adults and adolescents, as well as couple therapy — unhurried, personalised support to understand not just how you feel, but why, and to work through it together.

Care Specialists

Our Wellbeing Team

Our team of psychologists is dedicated to nurturing emotional balance and mental wellness with empathy and care. Using evidence-based approaches, they support individuals and families through life’s challenges from anxiety and depression to relationship concerns and neurodevelopmental conditions.

We are two psychologists who came to this work from different corners of the world, and found the same conviction: that real change requires more than symptom management. It requires depth, honesty, and a relationship built on genuine trust.

Dr. Vassiliki Simoglou

Wellbeing Center Clinical Director Psychologist

France – Greece – UAE

Hailing from Kavala, a small city in the North of Greece, Dr. Simoglou moved to France to study at the University of Strasbourg, where she completed her undergraduate and graduate studies in Psychology. She then went on to complete a postgraduate degree in Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex in the UK, and moved back to Greece where she started her clinical practice. Her inquisitive mind brought her back to France, in Paris this time, where she earned a scholarship to undertake a PhD in Psychopathology and Psychoanalysis from Paris Diderot University – Sorbonne Paris Cité, while teaching at a graduate and undergraduate level. She left Paris to move to Dubai in 2015, where she has been practicing as a Psychologist in private practice and teaching at the University of Wollongong in Dubai.

Dr. Candice Render

Counseling Psychologist

United States - UAE

Dr. Candice was born and raised in the United States, where she began her academic and clinical training in psychology. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychological Science and Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from Ball State University, and her PhD in Human Services and Leadership from Capella University. Throughout her academic journey, she consistently maintained Dean’s List distinction, reflecting her commitment to excellence in both theory and clinical application. With over two decades of experience as an expatriate, Dr. Candice has developed a deep understanding of multicultural environments, particularly within the Gulf region. This allows her to provide therapy that is culturally sensitive, globally informed, and personally relevant.

Our Approach

We don't just treat the surface. We go to the root.

At Almond Blossoms, we hold two things at once: giving you effective tools to feel better now, and creating the space to understand what your symptoms are truly pointing toward.

I

Evidence-based, never formulaic

We draw on CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and other contemporary approaches tailored to you, not a protocol.

II

The whole person, in context

We understand expatriate life in Dubai : the pace, the pressure, the cross-cultural complexities. You won’t need to explain your religious or cultural background from scratch.

III

Unhurried, boutique care

We are intentionally small. Limited caseloads mean genuine attention and utmost confidentiality, every session, every time.

“We offer tailored check-in and check-out processes, and three separate waiting areas, designed for comfort with complete privacy.”

Areas of Support

Whatever brought you here, there is a place for it.

We work with the full range of what it means to struggle — every form of psychological difficulty that quietly asks for attention.

I

Anxiety & Stress

The mind that won’t slow down.

Generalised anxiety, OCD, panic, social anxiety, health anxiety, performance pressure and the chronic stress of modern life in a demanding city.

II

Depression

When the colour drains from things.

Low mood, loss of motivation, grief, major life changes, burnout, emotional numbness, including depression that hides behind a functional exterior.

III

Trauma & Complex Trauma

When there’s ruptures in your story.

Childhood neglect, emotional or physical abuse, sexual trauma, relational wounds, affecting how you see yourself and others.

IV

Family Therapy & Adolescent Mental Health

The patterns that keep repeating

Family relationships that feel stuck, adolescents navigating school and friendship, strained family dynamics. For ages 15+.

V

Couples Therapy & Relationship Counseling

For the space between two people.

Rebuilding communication, navigating conflict, recovering from rupture or infidelity, or simply understanding each other more deeply. Discernment counseling available.

VI

Eating Disorders & Body Image

When the body is the one thing you can control.

Anorexia, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating disorder, restrictive eating, body image distortions, unhealthy relationship with food.

VII

Women's Health & Hormonal Wellbeing

Catering to the feminine experience.

Perimenopause, menopause, gynaecological conditions, postpartum and peripartum challenges. Advocates of women’s health across the life-span.

Languages of Care

You shouldn't have to
translate yourself to be
understood.

There’s a significant difference between speaking a language and feeling in it. Therapy reaches deeper when it happens in the language where your emotions live the one you use when you’re afraid, when you’re tender, when you’re most truly yourself.

Come as you are, leave feeling more like yourself.

A first conversation asks nothing of you except fifteen minutes and a little curiosity. Most individuals feel something shift just from being genuinely heard.
