About me
Hi there. If what you’ve been through has left you feeling unsafe in your own body, struggling with trust, intimacy, or a sense of who you are, you’re not alone. You might also notice this showing up as anxiety, low mood, or feeling disconnected. Whether this comes from trauma, sexual abuse, difficult relationships, or childhood experiences, we can begin to understand these feelings and work through them together, helping you feel safer, more grounded, and more connected to yourself.
I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can be yourself and talk openly about what you’ve been through, at a pace that feels right for you.
My approach is person-centred with integrative elements, placing you at the heart of the work. I work in a thoughtful, exploratory, and relational way, helping you make sense of your experiences and the patterns that shape how you feel, supporting lasting change.
I specialise in trauma, sexual and gender-based violence, and have experience across abuse and trauma services, clinical settings, and higher education. My work is informed by a feminist and anti-oppressive perspective, recognising how wider social and cultural factors can shape our experiences. I also support those navigating identity across cultures or living away from home.
I also work with couples, supporting understanding patterns within your relationship, including disconnection, communication difficulties, and challenges around intimacy, trust, or sexual desire, particularity where past experiences continue to have an impact.
I am bilingual, offering therapy in English and Greek, and I understand what it can feel like to live between languages, cultures, and identities.
At the heart of my work is a genuine therapeutic relationship grounded in honesty, compassion, and connection.

I work with young adults, adults and couples, and continue to engage in ongoing professional development, with a focus on trauma-informed practice and working with complex trauma.
I have over 8 years of experience across support services, specialist trauma settings, and academic environments. Much of my work has involved supporting individuals, especially women, impacted by interpersonal violence, including sexual and gender-based violence, as well as complex and developmental trauma.
I work with experiences such as (C)PTSD, shame, guilt, and self-blame, as well as anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with the body, intimacy, and relationships. This can include flashbacks, nightmares, or feeling emotionally numb or disconnected.
I have extensive experience working with sexual exploitation, sex trafficking, and experiences of sex work.
Alongside individual therapy, I also work with couples experiencing disconnection, communication difficulties, or the impact of past experiences within their relationship.
I bring an internationally informed perspective to my work, with experience supporting clients from the UK, the US, Greece, and wider international communities. I have a long-standing background in studying and teaching English which continues to shape how I listen, relate and work with meaning in therapy.
I offer a space that is inclusive, relational, and attuned to you, where all parts of yourself are welcome, even the ones that feel difficult to name or share.
Member organisations
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.
