About me
I am a compassionate and dedicated psychologist with a strong academic foundation in Psychology (BSc) and Cognitive Neuroscience (MSc) from Swansea University. My expertise lies in understanding how the brain processes thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, with a specialization in visual cognitive neuroscience. My approach is informed by evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I am committed to helping clients navigate challenges, build resilience, and achieve personal growth. With a warm and empathetic style, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their experiences and work toward meaningful change.
I bring a multicultural perspective to my practice, being a native Greek speaker and fluent in English, with a working knowledge of French. This allows me to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds. Whether you're facing stress, anxiety, or life transitions, my goal is to provide tailored support and practical tools to help you thrive. Together, we can work on building a stronger, more empowered version of yourself.

Approach
My therapeutic approach is client-centered, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices, with a strong emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe in tailoring therapy to meet each individual’s unique needs, working together to identify challenges, set achievable goals, and develop practical strategies for change. I view the therapeutic relationship as a partnership built on trust, empathy, and mutual respect. By integrating techniques that promote self-awareness, resilience, and problem-solving, I aim to empower clients to overcome obstacles, cultivate emotional well-being, and achieve lasting personal growth.
