About me
Hello, I am Georgia.
I am an Integrative Humanistic Psychotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with specialisation in adults, children and young people. I am also a Clinical Supervisor to clinical and non-clinical professionals I am an Accredited Member of UKCP and a Registered Member of BACP. I offer therapy face-to-face and online. I practice in English and Greek.
How I Work:
I work in a relational, attuned, and holistic way with clients. Clients say I am calm, gentle, and warm.
In a non-judgmental, safe, caring and confidential space, I help clients to go through psychological challenges by improving their relationship with themselves and others, as well as cope with everyday stressors and live more fulfilling lives.
Sessions are always tailored with care around the individual needs of every client. I work both short and long-term with clients, as every individual has unique goals, and problems and time space is needed to help every client to explore and grow.
My approach into Counselling and Psychotherapy is ‘Integrative’. This means that I am trained in several psychotherapeutic approaches, which enables me to create a therapy based on each individual’s needs. My core model of training is Psychodynamic (Transaction Analysis). My practice is underpinned by other approaches such as Person Centred, Gestalt, Arts, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
I am working with adults, children and adolescents clients with a range of difficulties around bereavement, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, body image, self-harming, aggression, withdrawal, Autism, ADHD, bullying, abuse, neglect, domestic violence, cultural issues, divorce, health-related issues, fostering and adoption process, peer relationships, work-related issues, trauma, developmental and attachment issues, intrusive thoughts/worries relational and family difficulties, gender and sexuality-related difficulties.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
