Nikolas Pediotidis

I am a psychologist working with young adults and professionals, particularly expats and international clients living in the Netherlands. Many people find it difficult to build a new support system, adjust to a different culture, and deal with feelings of isolation and uncertainty.

A key experience that shaped the way I work was moving away from home and building a life from scratch. This made it very clear to me how central relationships are to wellbeing, not only as a source of support, but as something that shapes how we see ourselves and navigate life. It also showed me how many psychological difficulties become more understandable when seen in the context of relationships and life transitions, especially when living abroad or adjusting to new environments. This perspective continues to influence my work, where I pay close attention not only to internal experiences, but also to how people relate to others, adapt, and find their place in changing contexts.

In my work, I aim to offer a space that is calm, structured, and reflective. Sessions are collaborative, and I adapt my style depending on what someone needs, whether that is more space to explore, more structure, or direction. The goal is not to pathologise or over-analyse every difficulty, but to understand patterns in a way that makes them less overwhelming and more workable in daily life.

I have a background in psychology from the University of Amsterdam and Leiden University, with clinical experience in hospital settings in Greece. I have also volunteered in mental health support contexts and have training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which informs my work.
