About me

Welcome to My Practice

I’m Vasili, a qualified and accredited Psychotherapist in Twickenham (TW2) and Surbiton (KT6) in South West London.

Services Offered
I offer personalised, confidential, and relaxed one-to-one therapy sessions addressing various life challenges and difficulties. My integrative and person-centred therapy style is tailored to help clients make sense of their situations and find solutions to overcome challenges.

Therapeutic Approach
Grounded in integrative psychotherapy, my approach combines evidence-based psychological techniques with a focus on psychodynamic and psychoanalytic theories. I prioritise building a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, enabling us to explore how past experiences influence current behaviours and relationships.

Clinical View
Many of our psychological challenges originate from early life experiences and traumas. Together, we will revisit and process these experiences to foster healthier patterns and creative ways of living. Clients will learn more effective ways to manage life's inevitable stress and pain.

Achieving Your Goals
Achieving your desired outcome in therapy is tailored to your goals. We work together to understand your inner experience on both a conscious and unconscious level, identifying and letting go of avoidance strategies learned to cope with difficult experiences. This process leads to greater self-awareness, alleviating symptoms, and removing internal barriers to living your desired life.

Session Details
Sessions take place weekly on the same day and time each week.

Experience and Credentials
With over a decade of experience in applied psychology, I have worked as a psychological therapist and supervisor in public and private settings. Currently, I divide my time between an NHS personality disorder service and my private practice. I am committed to ongoing professional development, with a particular interest in childhood trauma and sexuality.
