About me
*not accepting further referrals
Hello and welcome to my profile. My name is Katerina Alexandraki, I am a Clinical Psychologist and Art Psychotherapist. I offer supervision and psychological therapy online and in North East London.
We can work together using an eclectic and flexible approach, selecting psychological models that meet your current needs. The focus of our work will be relational: my standpoint is that psychological distress and pain are always connected to our relationships to others. Thinking together can help us have more meaningful, happier lives.
I have worked more than 18 years with people in mental health services, both in the voluntary sector and on the NHS. I am passionate for social justice, liberation and a fairer world and I seek for my practice to stand up to any oppression. My eclectic approach comes from my various trainings ( 2 postgraduates in Counselling and Art Psychotherapy and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology). My practice is always evolving with continuing professional education and the latest research.
As a trained Art Therapist, I encourage my clients to explore their creative expressions and ideas. There are many people that prefer to use talking therapy only, and that is perfectly fine.
Practical info:
My private practice is in North East London. We can work together for either brief or long term interventions.
I also offer online sessions.
If you are interested in individual therapy sessions with me, please get in touch. I suggest we have an introductory discussion on the phone, before we meet in person.
Fees: £70 for online offer / £80 for face to face.
