What's My Approach to Therapy?
I am an HCPC-registered clinical psychologist and a BABCP-accredited cognitive behavioural psychotherapist offering therapy in both English and Greek, face to face in London and online, worldwide.
Although I am a clinical psychologist, above all, I am human. And as a fellow human, when you come into the room with me, I will sit with you and listen to your experiences. I am deeply curious about how your unique story unfolds over time, not just your symptoms or diagnosis. I won’t rush you. Things take time, life is full of ups and downs, and I want to walk next to you in this journey.
I specialise in working with:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Panic attacks
- Trauma
- Low self-esteem
- Relationship difficulties and abusive relationships
- Difficulties arising from migration and cultural transitions
- Medically unexplained symptoms
- Cancer adapting to chronic health conditions
- ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity) and neurodiversity
- Loss and grief
- Identity issues
- Addiction
I believe that a new therapy needs to be created for every human being. I work integratively, tailoring my approach to what you need and what feels right for you. I often ask what you prefer, because I believe that therapy should be something we build together, something that truly fits you.
I draw on a range of therapeutic models, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, compassion-focused therapy (CFT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-focused psychotherapy, systemic and family therapy, as well as body-based approaches such as embodied psychotherapy and dance movement therapy.
My approach is integrative and relational, with a focus on how past experiences, relationship patterns, and embodied processes shape present difficulties.
Based on your needs, I can offer a range of evidence-based techniques and tools, but I also provide something beyond that: a space for understanding yourself and your experiences. Therapy, to me, is not only about alleviating symptoms, but about listening to what those symptoms may be trying to communicate, so you can begin to live the life you truly want for yourself.
I offer a space that gives permission for feelings to be felt; for sadness, anger, fear, or guilt to surface in as much safety as possible. A space where the dark box of feelings can be opened, and where, in time, you may come to see that it was never as dark as it once seemed.
