Personalised Support for Your Needs
Depression
Low moods are part of life. But when sadness, numbness or hopelessness begin to take hold for more than a couple of weeks, it may be time to talk to someone.
At Vivamus, our psychologists in Dubai offer therapy for depression tailored to your experience. Whether something triggered this shift in mood or it seemed to come out of nowhere, we’re here to help you understand what’s happening, feel more like yourself again, and reconnect with the parts of life that matter to you.
What Depression Can Feel Like
Depression can affect your thoughts, energy levels, sleep, appetite and ability to enjoy daily life. You may feel:
- Consistently low or emotionally flat
- Disconnected or numb
- Tired but unable to sleep, or sleeping much more than usual
- A change in appetite or eating habits
- Unable to concentrate or stay motivated
- Less interested in socialising or doing things you once enjoyed
- Critical or harsh toward yourself
- That even small tasks feel too hard to manage
These symptoms can appear gradually or feel like they hit all at once. It is common to struggle with daily routines, or to feel overwhelmed by things that used to feel manageable.
Depression is very common – research suggests that around 1 in 4 people experience it at some point. You’re not alone.
What Might Be Behind It
Sometimes depression follows something difficult such as the loss of a relationship, a major life event or grief after bereavement. At other times, the cause is harder to trace.
Working with a psychologist can help you make sense of what has contributed to your mood and reduce the chances of it becoming overwhelming again in future.
Types of Depression We Work With
Depression does not always look the same for everyone. Some of the most common forms include:

How Therapy Helps
Depression is highly treatable. Psychological therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic therapy are supported by international research and clinical guidelines. These approaches help you:
- Understand the patterns or triggers that have contributed to your depression
- Learn strategies to manage symptoms and prevent setbacks
- Reconnect with purpose, motivation and self-compassion
You and your psychologist will work together to choose an approach that makes sense for you.
