Vasiliki Loumpa

I grew up in Greece and initially trained as a Social Worker. I later lived in Ireland and the UK where I trained and worked as a Systemic Psychotherapist in mental health services, both with adults and children/adolescents. In these settings I learned a lot about how mental health affects people and those who care about them. I understood that problems in relationships can affect someone's wellbeing profoundly. I also experienced that significant others can be crucial contributors in someone's journey towards wellbeing. I witnessed improvement in people's depression, anxiety and other mental health struggles through working on relationship difficulties. I also witnessed loving families finding ways to help their loved ones who struggled with mental health difficulties by becoming part of the solution. I worked with many individuals on developing a better relationship with themselves and reducing their mental health struggles. I am a registered therapist with the following organisations: UK Council of Psychotherapy (UKCP) / the Association of Family Therapy and Systemic Practice UK (Registered Therapist and Approved Supervisor) Nederlandse Vereniging voor Relatie-en Gezinstherapie (NVRG) Nederlandse Associatie voor Psychotherapie (NAP) European Association for Psychotherapy (European certificate of Psychotherapy, ECP). Alongside my work as a a systemic family therapist in the NHS, I worked as a lecturer and clinical supervisor on the MSc. Family and Systemic Psychotherapy delivered by Birmingham Family Therapy Training and the University of Birmingham. I recently moved to Rotterdam with my family and started an Independent practice under the name Mitos Relationship and Family Therapy. I work with individuals, couples and families.
