About me
My name is Vana Lamprogianni and I am a qualified counselling psychologist. I work with children and young people up to 18 years and I also offer parenting support sessions. My passion is to work with families, offer emotional support and navigate them through their life experiences. I have over 8 years of experience working in an NHS early intervention service, schools and mental health settings such as adult inpatient unit.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology.
I deeply value creating a space of warmth and non-judgment where children, young people and adults can feel truly heard, empowered and give a meaning to their experiences. Through playful techniques like art, mindfulness practices, and my client’s unique personalised interests, I bring warmth and creativity into the therapeutic process, making it easier for young clients to express themselves and explore their feelings.
Through my clinical practice and my personal therapeutic journey, I have learnt that therapy is a valuable tool to navigate every day challenges and shape life experiences. Using an integrative and person centred approach I offer the space for young people to unravel their thoughts and make sense of them. One of the most important aspects of my practice is that I strive to offer an inclusive and diverse space, where everyone can be themselves and feel comfortable.
I am experienced in working with a variety of themes including behavioural problems, anxiety, low mood, bereavement and loss, self-esteem, relationship and developmental issues.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
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).

Getting Started
You are welcome to send me an e-mail so that we can arrange a first meeting. You can include any relevant information and questions you may have. The first session will be a free 20-minute phone consultation where we can further discuss what has brought you to seek therapy for you or your child.
If you're seeking therapy for your child, our first session will be a meeting with you alone. This allows me to understand the challenges your child is facing. I'll ask about your child’s development, your current concerns, and what you hope to gain from therapy. Following this, I will invite your child for an initial assessment, and if appropriate, we can then begin regular sessions.
