About me
I am an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist offering therapy in both English and Greek, face to face in London and online, worldwide.
Although I am a Clinical Psychologist, above all, I am human. And as a fellow human, when you come into the room with me, I will sit with you and listen to your experiences. I am deeply curious about how your unique story unfolds over time, not just your symptoms or diagnosis. I won’t rush you. Things take time, life is full of ups and downs, and I want to walk next to you in this journey.
I specialise in working with:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Panic attacks
- Trauma
- Low self-esteem
- Relationship difficulties and abusive relationships
- Difficulties arising from migration and cultural transitions
- Medically unexplained symptoms
- Cancer/ adapting to chronic health conditions
- ADHD and neurodiversity
- Loss and grief
- Identity issues
- Addiction
I believe that a new therapy needs to be created for every human being. I work integratively, tailoring my approach to what you need and what feels right for you. I often ask what you prefer, because I believe that therapy should be something we build together, something that truly fits you.
I draw on a range of therapeutic models, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy, as well as body-based approaches such as Embodied Psychotherapy and Dance Movement Therapy. I am also a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist.
My approach is integrative and relational, with a focus on how past experiences, relationship patterns, and embodied processes shape present difficulties.
Based on your needs, I can offer a range of evidence-based techniques and tools, but I also provide something beyond that; a space for understanding yourself and your experiences. Therapy, to me, is not only about alleviating symptoms, but about listening to what those symptoms may be trying to communicate, so you can begin to live the life you truly want for yourself.
I offer a space that gives permission for feelings to be felt; for sadness, anger, fear, or guilt to surface in as much safety as possible. A space where the dark box of feelings can be opened, and where, in time, you may come to see that it was never as dark as it once seemed.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at King’s College London and also hold an MSc in Clinical Mental Health Sciences and a Postgraduate Certificate in Low Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Interventions from University College London, as well as a BSc in Psychology from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
I have supported adults, children, and young people with problems such as anxiety, depression, complex trauma, personality disorders, psychosomatic symptoms, work stress, and issues related to neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD. My particular interests include working with complex trauma, relational difficulties, psychosomatic symptoms, and the challenges of migration, cultural transitions, and abusive relationships.
In addition to this breadth of experience, I have worked in specialist NHS services providing long-term psychodynamic and trauma-focused psychotherapy for people with complex mental health needs, and have supported individuals adjusting to life-threatening health conditions. For example, I have previously worked in the Macmillan Psychological Support Team at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, where I supported individuals living with cancer, the Lewisham Integrated Therapies Service at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, as well as several national specialist services such as the Service for Complex Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders, the Bethlem Adolescent Unit and Acorn Lodge Children’s Inpatient Unit. In addition, I have held roles within West London NHS Trust’s Talking Therapies service and within the Assertive Outreach and Rehabilitation Team at SLaM NHS Trust.
Alongside my clinical work, I have research expertise in mentalising, attachment, childhood trauma, and psychosomatic symptoms, and have published my research in collaboration with the UCL Anna Freud Centre and Professor Peter Fonagy.
