Sofia Remountaki - Adolescent and Adult Counsellor
About me
Integrative Adolescent and Adult Counsellor
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor, a Certified Cyber Therapist and an MA Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist (pending dissertation). My approach is Integrative which means that I draw on a range of therapeutic thinking and models such as Humanistic, Gestalt, Transpersonal, Attachment Based, Psychodynamic and other, in order to accommodate the individual needs of the person I work with. Also, my foundation was on Art Psychotherapy which gave me the ability to use tools such as Sandtray, Clay, Drawing, Music and other in my work, if that is something you would be interest to experiment with.
Part of my training has been Child and Adolescent orientated, which gave me the skills needed to work with children, adolescent and young adults. And I feel that this part of my training gave more depth to my work with adults.
Furthermore, as a Certified Cyber Therapist and I have done extensive specialised training on how to offer my services via video and phone.
My style is open and respectful of my client and I hold a space for them where they will be heard and where they may explore any issues they bring, at a pace that is comfortable for them.
I can work with you in English or Greek.
*If you are in crisis and need immediate support please contact Samaritans at 116 123. The calls are free and the service is available 24 hours 7 days a week.*

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).

Further information
I am a strong believer in equal opportunities, so if due to your circumstances your needs cannot be accommodated by the standard counselling set up i.e. someone with a disability, a single parent with very young children and no childcare etc. let’s talk and find a solution that works for both of us. Parents with young babies are very welcome to come with their little one.
