About Dr. Vassiliki Simoglou
Professional Journey
Hailing from Kavala, a small city in the North of Greece, Dr. Simoglou moved to France to study Psychology, and completed her undergraduate and graduate studies in Psychology at the University of Strasbourg. 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 Dubai.
