Mental Health in Dubai’s Hospitality Industry: Support Close to You in Dubai Media City -

Updated: Nov 11

Retrieve Mind Poly Clinic – Confidential psychiatric care for hospitality professionals near Dubai Marina, JBR, JLT, Palm Jumeirah & Barsha Heights.


Dubai’s hospitality and tourism industry never sleeps — and neither do the people who make it shine. Behind the glamour of five-star hotels, luxury resorts, and fine-dining experiences are professionals working long hours, managing demanding guests, and balancing personal lives in a fast-paced environment.


If you work in or around Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah, JBR, JLT, Barsha Heights, or Dubai Media City, mental well-being can easily take a back seat. That’s where Retrieve Mind Poly Clinic comes in — providing psychiatric and psychological care within minutes of your workplace.


Right in the Heart of Dubai’s Hospitality Zone

We are based in Dubai Media City, the centre point connecting Dubai’s hospitality corridors:

  • Dubai Marina & JBR – Home to world-class hotels such as the InterContinental, Hilton, Rixos, Amwaj Rotana, and Address Marina.

  • Palm Jumeirah – A global hospitality icon with Atlantis The Palm, FIVE Palm, Fairmont The Palm, Waldorf Astoria, and Anantara The Palm.

  • Barsha Heights (TECOM) – Known for business hotels like TRYP by Wyndham, Grand Millennium, Media Rotana, and Mercure Barsha Heights.

  • JLT & Knowledge Village – Densely populated residential and corporate communities housing thousands of hospitality professionals, trainers, and executives.


Wherever you work — from a front-desk role in JBR to a managerial office in Palm Jumeirah — Retrieve Mind is 5–10 minutes away.

Understanding the Pressures of the Hospitality Profession

Working in hotels and restaurants comes with unique mental-health challenges:

  • Shift work and sleep disruption

  • High-pressure guest interactions

  • Performance anxiety and burnout

  • Work-life imbalance for expatriates

  • Substance use as a coping mechanism

  • Family separation or relationship strain.


These stresses often go unnoticed until they affect performance, mood, or health. At Retrieve Mind, we understand that confidentiality is essential. We offer discreet, compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric and psychological care tailored to the hospitality workforce.
