About me
Hello and thank you for checking my profile. My name is Elia, I am a qualified integrative psychotherapist, offering individual therapy to adults based in the UK and internationally. I am currently working primarily online.
I work with clients experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, stress and burnout, bereavement and loss, life transitions and the impact of difficult or traumatic experiences.
I have a corporate background, with decades of experience working in the City. I understand the pressures of demanding, fast-paced professional environments, the stress of navigating workplace relationships and politics, and the difficulty of maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
I work both in English and Greek.
My approach:
Therapy offers a chance to slow down and explore what is happening in your life. You may be experiencing anxiety or depression, difficulties in your relationships, low self-esteem, stress or burnout, or struggling with a significant change or loss. I provide a thoughtful, compassionate space in which you can talk openly, make sense of your experiences and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and what you need.
I work relationally as I believe the relationship between therapist and client is an important part of the therapeutic process, and I aim to bring warmth, openness and genuine curiosity to our work together. As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on different therapeutic approaches and I consider both your past and present experiences and relationships, your culture, physical and mental health, your work and everything else that is important to you.
Therapy is not a quick fix and can sometimes be challenging. I won't tell you what you should do; instead, I will support you in exploring your thoughts, feelings and experiences, understanding yourself more deeply and making choices that feel right for you.
I am a member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the Metanoia Institute, and I abide by their professional and ethical standards.
