To me, the counselling relationship is the most important part of therapy.

You can tell when someone has time for you. When they don’t rush through conversations, notice when you seem “off”, and remember the little details. In therapy with me, you’ll always feel seen and heard.

Before becoming a therapist, my years spent in the fast-paced corporate world gave me firsthand insight into how deeply stress, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties can impact well-being. But parenthood caused me to pause, reflect, and reevaluate.

Now, as an online integrative counsellor in the UK, I want my clients to feel truly comfortable sharing anything that might be on their mind. Whether it’s relationship difficulties, poor confidence, anger, or simply feelings of being ‘stuck.’

I’m passionate about working with adults of all ages, from young to older, and helping them reach their goals. And due to my own experiences, I also enjoy connecting with parents who may be feeling stressed, exhausted, or caught in patterns that echo from their own childhood.

If you’re looking for a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental online counsellor, I can help. Together, we can work towards creating the happy, fulfilled life you deserve. I offer Zoom sessions in both English and Greek, and can provide a free 15-minute, no-obligation introductory chat for you to see if we’re a good therapeutic fit.

If you would like to learn more about me and how I can support you, or want to set up a quick chat, head to my website.

About Me
If you need experienced support for your wellbeing, you’ve come to the right place. I am an accredited counsellor with a Graduate Diploma in Psychology and a Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice.   

I specialize in integrative therapeutic approaches. But you might be wondering, How does integrative counselling work? It simply means that I draw from a variety of methods that are proven through research to work, including person-centred counselling, psychodynamic therapy, and cognitive behavioural therapy. But how I approach sessions is personalised entirely to you: your issues, your needs, and your goals. Sometimes we might focus on what’s going on for you in the here and now. Other times, we might go into the past a little to see what’s driving hurt in the present. Whatever we focus on in a given session will be steered by what comes up for you.

Reaching out for support can be frightening. This is why I adapt sessions to your communication style, giving you the space to slow down, reflect, and make sense of what feels difficult. I also offer counselling in both English and Greek, so you can choose whichever language feels right for you. For many people, speaking in their native language makes it easier to connect with their emotions, express thoughts that are difficult to share and feel fully understood.

Whether you prefer to speak in English or Greek, my aim is to create a space where you can communicate openly and explore your experiences in the way that feels most natural to you.

So that I can support my clients in the best ways possible, I’m passionate about continuous professional growth. Therefore, I regularly engage in additional training so that I can broaden my knowledge and stay up to date with the latest developments in online counselling.

Who I Work With
I work with adults aged 18 and up who are navigating a variety of mental health difficulties. You don’t even need to know why you need therapy – you might just know you want to feel better.

Some of the areas I specialise in include:

• Anxiety support
• Anger
• Stress
• Burnout
• Low mood
•  Low self-esteem
• People-pleasing
• Perfectionism
• Relationship difficulties
• Family conflict 
• Life transitions
• Parental stress
• Emotional triggers in parenting

As an online therapist, I am also well-placed to support stressed and exhausted parents by focusing on resolving emotional regulation, boundary, communication, and attachment issues.
Together, we can work on understanding the root causes of what brought you to therapy, empower you to process these issues, and create a life you value moving forward.

How I Work
Choosing the right integrative counsellor is a highly personal decision, so it’s essential that you feel comfortable and at ease. This is why I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute introductory chat. It allows us to discuss what your goals for therapy are and whether I’m the right person to help you reach them.

If you decide that I’m the right online counsellor for your needs, we can set up weekly sessions. But if this feels like too much for you right now, we can start with fortnightly sessions and work from there.

Life’s challenges, whether they’re relationship worries, persistent dread, feeling emotionally ‘stuck’, or ongoing low mood, can quickly become overpowering. While these concerns are very common, they don’t have to be dealt with alone.

Counselling is a collaboration. As an online therapist, when you work with me, you’ll be given a confidential corner, just for you. In this space, we’ll figure out what’s going on, create goals for your future, and work on reaching them together.

If you’re ready to change in a positive way, I’m ready to help you.
