About me
I’m a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, accredited by both the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy. I currently work in private practice with adults and offer in-person, online or telephone psychotherapy in either English or Greek.
How I Work / What to Expect
I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling. Whether you choose counselling or psychotherapy, I adopt a psychoanalytically informed, comprehensive, and integrative approach.
Rather than simply addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unconscious processes and early experiences that have shaped your current emotional and relational life. Instead of prescribing advice, I will strive to help you discover your own answers.
Choosing a Therapist
It’s important to choose a therapist with whom you feel a genuine sense of connection.
Look for someone who is registered with a recognised professional body such as the BPC, UKCP or BACP.
Registration with these organisations indicates that a therapist has completed accredited training, works within a clear ethical framework, receives regular clinical supervision, and is committed to ongoing professional development. It also means there is a professional body in place should any concerns arise.
Psychotherapy is also a deeply personal process. Research consistently shows that the therapeutic relationship matters. Most people find it difficult to share their private thoughts and feelings unless they feel comfortable and at ease. For this reason: It’s important to choose a therapist with whom you feel a genuine sense of connection.
A good therapist often combines warmth, empathy, and approachability with the professionalism, expertise, and appropriate boundaries that come from thorough training.
Training, qualifications & experience
Professional Training & Qualifications
I trained at WPF Therapy and at the British Psychotherapy Foundation (BPF), the UK's leading psychotherapy training institutions. Both are accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Over a total of 6 years, my training included compulsory personal analysis with a Senior Analyst, academic study in psychoanalytic theory, and extensive supervised clinical work.
I am a registered full member of the following professional bodies and institutions and I adhere to their professional and ethical standards.
- the British Psychoanalytic Council
- the UK Council for Psychotherapy
- the Council for Psychoanalysis and Jungian Analysis College (UKCP)
- the British Psychotherapy Foundation
- the Foundation of Psychotherapy and Counselling.
Clinical and Professional Experience
I worked as an Honorary Counsellor in the NHS, specifically with the Community Living Well service under the Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust. This role provided me with valuable experience in delivering psychological therapies to a diverse client base, further enriching my practice.
Before training as a psychotherapist, I lived and worked in senior positions in Europe and the Middle East, experiences that have shaped the perspective I bring to my practice. My years in the corporate world have given me insight into how cultural, societal, and professional pressures can impact one’s sense of self.
Volunteering has been an important part of my journey, from offering support to blind and partially sighted Londoners with the charity BlindAid to helping out in the refugee camps of Lesbos, during the European refugee crisis. These experiences quietly inform the perspective I bring to therapy.
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 British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. 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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I have experience working with a wide range of psychological difficulties that may present with heightened anxiety or depression. I am particularly interested in gender, sexuality, and neurodiversity, and in how unconscious processes shape identity and relationships. I also have a strong interest in issues of migration, belonging, language, and living across multiple cultural contexts.

Fees
Concessions offered for
Additional information
Therapy represents both an emotional and a practical commitment. Fees are discussed during the initial consultation and are offered on a sliding scale, taking into account individual circumstances.
I aim to keep a small number of reduced-fee places available for those who may need them, subject to availability. The consultation provides an opportunity to discuss fees openly and to consider together whether ongoing therapy would feel manageable.
First Steps
You’re welcome to begin with a free 15-minute video or telephone call. This brief conversation offers an opportunity to outline what has brought you to therapy and for us both to get an initial sense of whether working together feels right.
Alternatively, you may choose to begin with a full initial consultation of 50–60 minutes. This provides a more spacious, exploratory meeting in which we can think together about what brings you to therapy, how you are currently managing, and what you might hope to gain from therapy at this stage. It is also an opportunity to ask any questions about therapy and how I work, and to consider whether ongoing counselling or psychotherapy would be helpful.
