About me
Welcome! I am Thomais, an Accredited Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience in clinical practice. Life's challenges can cause us to feel lost, stuck and unable to cope. Parenting issues, financial pressures and mental challenges can jeopardise our families’ well-being. Relationship problems can cause anger, depression and loneliness. Work-related issues can lead to decreased satisfaction, burnout and poor performance. Whether short-term or deeply entrenched, our problems can rob us of our peace of mind, self-esteem and ability to create rewarding lives, the lives we deserve.
Now, imagine how your life would change if you could
- overcome traumatic experiences
- create a more loving and cohesive family
- build more fulfilling relationships or
- better manage workplace issues.
We will work together to identify emotional triggers, understand unhelpful patterns and behaviours and decipher conflicting messages in personal and professional situations. We will identify the things you can change and develop ways to change them. Remember, you are the expert in your life, and together, we can change the obstacles into successful outcomes.
I have over 20 years of successful experience helping people to solve their problems and reach their full potential. I can help you regain your power and realise your goals. I have developed a sensitive, however fast, way of reaching results. I provide a safe and confidential space where clients’ individuality is respected, and I use a tailor-made, all-embracing approach to help people reach awareness and resolution.
Contact me to arrange a consultation and see your best self surface, creating the life you always dreamed and deserve. You can call me on 074 07062 736 or email me at thomaispelekanou@gmail.com to arrange a consultation.

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.
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.
