About me
Hello!
I am a psychological therapist (dramatherapist), practicing in London.
Common difficulties that I work with include trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, sadness, self-esteem, ADHD, autism, family difficulties, mental health conditions, bereavement, dementia, PTSD, and psychosocial stressors.
I offer confidential therapy sessions for adults / young people, online or in-person, in either English or Greek.
Possible ways of work include:
- Individual sessions
- Couple’s sessions
- Sessions for children / adolescents
- Family sessions
- Group sessions
- Online sessions
I usually offer an initial consultation session so that we can meet and collaboratively decide if and how we can work together. If you are happy to continue we will set up a second session and will arrange to meet regularly (usually weekly).
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MA Drama and Movement Therapy from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (University of London), and have undertaken additional training in Systemic Psychotherapy and Counselling. I am registered with the HCPC (Health Care Professions Council), and am a full member of the British Association of Dramatherapists (BADth).
As a therapist, I have worked extensively with adults and children of all ages, offering group and individual sessions.
My therapeutic experience in working with children includes work at PRUs (Pupil Referral Units), SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health), mainstream colleges and a special schools; with children who were excluded – or at risk of being excluded – from mainstream education, young people with autism and/or learning disabilities, ESOL students (English as Second Language) and mainstream students.
I have also been offering culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed therapy to asylum seeking and refugee people of all ages.
In my private practice I have been working mainly with adults who wish to explore issues that range from past trauma to current anxieties.
My additional experience includes co-facilitating dramatherapy sessions at a mental health hospital, and at a specialist school for children with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD).
I have presented my work at several conferences, organised by institutions such as the British Association of Dramatherapists, the University of South Wales, and the European Consortium of Arts Therapies. I continue to deliver training, lectures and workshops to trainee therapists, colleagues and other professionals.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
