About Dr. Vassiliki Simoglou

Dr. Vassiliki Simoglou is the Clinical Director of the Wellbeing Center at Almond Blossoms Fertility & Wellbeing Centre, Dubai.
A highly respected, trilingual, CDA-licensed Psychologist, Dr. Simoglou brings over 20 years of international clinical experience across the UAE, France, Greece, and the United Kingdom.
She is known for her depth-oriented, highly attuned approach to psychological care, integrating psychodynamic insight with cultural sensitivity, clinical precision, and a deep respect for each individual’s personal story.

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.

She offers therapy in English, French, and Greek, both in person in Dubai and online, supporting a diverse international patient community.

Her academic training and clinical experience have shaped a sophisticated understanding of human psychology across diverse cultural and social contexts, allowing her to work with depth and nuance across a wide range of presentations.

Dr. Vassiliki specializes in the assessment and treatment of:

  • Anxiety disorders, OCD, and Emotional Regulation

She is particularly recognized for her ability to work with complexity, helping patients uncover and process the deeper emotional patterns that shape their inner world, relationships, and physical wellbeing.

Philosophy of Care

Dr. Vassiliki believes that psychological care requires both depth and precision — an approach that goes beyond symptom management to understanding the underlying emotional and relational patterns shaping a person’s experience.
She is deeply committed to creating a confidential space where patients feel safe enough to explore what has often remained unspoken, and supported enough to move toward meaningful and lasting change.
Under her leadership, the Wellbeing Center at Almond Blossoms reflects this philosophy: boutique care where discretion meets psychological depth and clinical expertise.
