About me
Hello and welcome. You might be feeling stuck, burnt out, or navigating the weight of a world that doesn’t reflect your values. You may be looking for a space that feels affirming, collaborative, and gently challenging, where your voice and your story are truly heard.
I am Katerina (she/her), a Clinical Psychologist and supervisor with 20 years' experience in the NHS and voluntary sector. I offer online therapy for adults seeking space to explore distress, identity, relationships, and purpose in ways that honour your lived experience.
Grounded in a relational, narrative, and anti-pathologising approach, I see emotional pain not as personal problem but as something deeply shaped by the stories we inherit and the systems/cultures we live in.. In our work together, we might explore how these stories have constrained or shaped your sense of self, and begin to imagine freer ways of being.
As a Greek-born (Ελληνίδα) migrant, I bring with me the sensibilities of both cultures — the warmth of connection, an appreciation for complexity and nuance, and a deep-rooted value of frontída (φροντίδα): care that is thoughtful, reciprocal, and aims towards liberation.
Please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss how narrative therapy sessions would look like and/or if you want to book an introductory chat.
Training, qualifications & experience
Experience
I have worked therapeutically for several years with children, young people and adults in NHS mental health and educational settings. I feel very privileged to have worked with such variety of ages, cultures and social groups. Each place and each story hold a special place in my mind.
Apart from working as a Clinical Psychologist, I have also worked as a Community Psychologist for voluntary organisations. I have enjoyed being a visiting lecturer at various doctoral courses, i.e. Goldsmiths University, King's College, University of Surrey and University of Hertfordshire.
