Do you feel caught in a cycle of thoughts and behaviours that leave you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? At Vivamus, we use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to help you understand the powerful connection between how you think, how you feel, and how you act.

This practical, evidence-based approach allows you to identify unhelpful patterns, explore why they developed, and learn new ways of responding that feel healthier and more manageable. Our highly trained specialists tailor every session to your unique needs, helping you make small, achievable adjustments that build long-term resilience and confidence

Do you feel like a past experience is still stuck in your present, triggering anxiety or low self-esteem?

Traditional talking therapy isn't the only path to healing. We use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) to help your brain safely process and move past distressing memories so they feel less powerful and overwhelming.

Using guided bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps painful memories lose their emotional intensity at your pace. Whether you are navigating PTSD, phobias, or a single traumatic event, our accredited therapists are here to help you regain your confidence and move forward.

If you want to know how EMDR can help, contact us at (04) 440 3844 or email hello@vivamus.me to book an initial consultation.

Struggles with food, weight, or body image can feel like an incredibly isolating and overwhelming cycle. It might start with obsessive thoughts about calories, but it often grows into feelings of intense guilt, a distorted perception of your own shape, or the need to follow rigid food rules. You might find yourself avoiding social situations involving food or using compulsive exercise to cope with emotional distress.

We provide a safe, non-judgemental space to explore the underlying concerns around control and self-esteem.. Using evidence-based treatments like CBT-E, MANTRA, and Family-Based Treatment, our psychologists work collaboratively with you and our wider medical team to help you rebuild trust in your body and restore balance to your life.

If eating disorders or body image concerns are impacting your life, our team is here to support you. Contact us at (04) 440 3844 or emailing hello@vivamus.me.

While the journey of pregnancy and early parenthood is often portrayed as a time of pure joy, the reality is frequently far more complex. It is a period of immense change that can bring unexpected emotional shifts, from constant worry and racing thoughts to feeling numb or unable to bond with your baby.

Our perinatal psychologists provide a non-judgemental space to help you understand the physical and psychological factors contributing to how you feel, helping you recover and move forward with strength.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or just not like yourself, we’re here to listen. Reach out by sending us a DM or contact us directly at 04) 440 3844 or email hello@vivamus.me.

Do you ever wake up with an immediate sense of dread, or find your mind spiralling into “what if” scenarios that feel impossible to stop? Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed, it’s a natural response that can become a barrier to living life fully when it begins to interfere with your daily routine.

We are to here help you understand these unhelpful patterns using evidence-based approaches like CBT and psychodynamic therapy. Our goal is to provide both immediate symptom relief and the long-term tools you need to identify your personal triggers and regain a sense of calm and control.

Find your way back to calm, we’re here to help. Send us a DM or visit the link in our bio to start your journey today.

Sexual concerns are far more common than many people realise, yet they are often the hardest to talk about. Whether it’s a shift in desire, performance anxiety, or a growing sense of disconnection in your relationship, these experiences can leave you feeling isolated, inadequate, or even guilty.

At Vivamus, we want you to know that you don’t have to face this alone. Sexual difficulties are often a complex mix of emotional, psychological, and relational factors. Our psychologists provide a safe, confidential, and judgment-free space to explore these challenges.

Relationships are at the heart of our well-being, but even the strongest bonds can face seasons of disconnect or transition. At Vivamus, we believe you don’t need to be in a crisis to benefit from support. Whether you’re navigating communication hurdles, co-parenting shifts, or simply want to deepen your emotional intimacy, our compassionate approach helps you move forward with clarity.

Our specialist therapists use internationally recognised, evidence-based methods like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method to create a safe space for both of you. We focus on breaking unhelpful patterns and building healthier ways of relating, offering everything from weekly sessions to intensive therapy options tailored for every couple.

Ready to rebuild your connection? Contact us at (04) 440 3844 or email info@vivamus.me to book a session.

As we observe we’re focusing on the theme: ‘This is My Place’. It’s a powerful reminder that having a sense of belonging especially at school is the foundation of a child’s well-being.

We’ve put together some top tips to help schools and families foster these nurturing spaces. From practising active listening to creating opportunities for genuine peer connection, these small steps help every child feel like they have a seat at the table.

If your school would like a partner in supporting student wellbeing, we would love to help.

A Boutique Psychology and Counseling Clinic in Dubai

We are a team of British Psychologists assisting the expat and local population in Dubai. We care about change.

Vivamus is Latin for “we live” and there is an Epicurean philosopher’s quote “Dum Vivimus, Vivamus”, which means “While we live, let us live”. And that’s our ethos: we help people live life fully, whatever their challenges so you can live the life you want or the life you once had.
