About me
I am a qualified and experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist offering therapy to adults in London Bridge and Greenwich, as well as online. I offer psychotherapy in both English and Greek. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, loss, or a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy offers an opportunity to explore your thoughts, feelings and relationships, alongside the experiences that have shaped you. We can think together about patterns that may be difficult to recognise, including aspects of your experience that may be outside of your awareness, and how these may influence the way you relate to yourself and others.
I offer a warm, thoughtful and non-judgemental space where you can explore what is troubling you at your own pace. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic thinking and is also informed by systemic and Compassion Focused Therapy perspectives, allowing us to consider your relationships, wider context and relationship with yourself.
Therapy can be open-ended or time-limited, depending on your needs. Sessions are usually weekly, with the frequency discussed together at the beginning of our work.
