About me
Feeling stuck? Panic and depression taking over your life?
Are you experiencing anxiety, or are you having relationship or family issues?
Are you struggling with the idea that you might have ADHD?
Here to help you develop resilience and grow as a person through support, counselling or psychotherapy in London. I’m a qualified and experienced psychotherapist, EMDR therapist and supervisor who works with you to help you face challenges and overcome negative situations. I am ready to discuss neurodivergence with you. Based centrally in London (Zone 2). I am also available for remote sessions online or over the telephone.
How I can help:
By providing a safe and confidential space to work regularly together to gain insight about the issues causing you concern or distress. The therapy provided can either be on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and live it more fully. My consulting room is located on Mare Street in South Hackney, next to the City of London.
My approach
I am an empathic therapist based in East London. Looking forward to hearing about the issues that concern you by offering a safe space to explore them and reflect with you with compassion. I have a genuine interest in people’s identities and how they shape day to day life. The work is mainly done with a psychodynamic approach, making clients aware that problems and distress in the present may have originated in their earlier life experiences. Understanding this is the first step towards achieving a change in awareness, perception and relationships.
If preferred, I offer sessions in Greek and in French.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed my initial psychotherapy training at WPF Therapy, one of the most esteemed counselling and psychotherapy institutes in London and I am currently training in Jungian Analysis at BJAA (part of the British Psychotherapy Foundation).
Currently, I offer counselling, psychotherapy and EMDR therapy at my consulting room in Hackney. I managed the counselling service at St Joseph’s Hospice; I have worked for NHS in Newham and Bedfordshire as a senior psychotherapist and relational therapies lead.
Passionate about young people’s mental health; worked for The Prince’s Trust as their Mental Health Advisor.
I have extensively supported professionals in the City and also regularly with young people and students, people of all ages and those working in the media and arts.
I offer supervision to trainees, counsellors and psychotherapists.
