About me
I am a psychologist with a Bachelor’s degree from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Utrecht University in the Netherlands. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, social anxiety, stress, and difficulties related to self-confidence and relationships.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. This allows me to work both with present-day difficulties and with emotional patterns that may have developed over time. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or advice, but about understanding what is happening internally and creating space for more conscious choices.
Many people I work with appear functional in daily life but feel internally overwhelmed, anxious in social situations, uncertain in relationships, or disconnected from their sense of self-confidence. In our sessions, we focus on what feels most important to you in the moment, while also gently exploring deeper emotional themes when relevant.
I have experience working with individuals and groups in clinical, community, and online settings. Having lived abroad myself, I am familiar with the emotional challenges that can accompany change, relocation, and questions of belonging.
Psychotherapy, for me, is a collaborative process grounded in empathy, respect, and emotional safety. Ongoing personal therapy and clinical supervision are central to my work and support my commitment to ethical, reflective, and attentive clinical practice.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
In sessions, we work together to understand how specific thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are connected to your current difficulties. Depending on what feels most relevant, this may involve identifying patterns that maintain anxiety or self-doubt, exploring emotional reactions in relationships, or developing practical ways of coping with challenging situations.
My work integrates elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. This means we can use structured techniques when helpful, while also allowing space to reflect on emotional experiences and relational patterns that emerge over time. The focus is not on quick solutions, but on developing insight and flexibility that support lasting change.
My ongoing training in group analysis informs my understanding of interpersonal dynamics and the impact of relationships on emotional life. This perspective supports a careful and attuned way of working, even within individual therapy.
Experience
II currently work as a clinical psychologist at Hoperapia Psychotherapy Center in Piraeus, where I provide individual psychotherapy and work with adults presenting with a range of emotional and psychological difficulties. My work there allows me to integrate psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural approaches within a supportive and professionally contained setting.
I have recently completed my clinical internship at the Open Psychotherapeutic Center (OPC), where I participated in the therapeutic community and worked alongside multidisciplinary teams. During this experience, I was involved in individual and group-based clinical work and gained further exposure to psychotherapeutic processes within both structured and less structured settings.
In addition, I have several years of experience providing online psychological support through regular individual sessions, as well as working in community and residential mental health services. My background includes involvement in rehabilitation and psychosocial support programs, participation in therapeutic and psychoeducational groups, and collaboration in initiatives aimed at supporting individuals with complex mental health needs.
Across these roles, I have developed a steady, reflective, and ethically grounded way of working, shaped by experience in diverse clinical contexts and ongoing supervision.
Education
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Utrecht University, where I received formal training in core Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) protocols and completed a research thesis. I previously earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, where my studies included clinical laboratory involvement, research activities, and undergraduate thesis work.
Alongside my academic training, I have developed my clinical skills through work in a range of therapeutic settings, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience. My psychotherapeutic training is ongoing: I am currently completing formal training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the European Institute of Counselling and Psychotherapy and have attended introductory training in psychoanalysis at the Institute of Classical Psychoanalysis.
Personal psychodynamic therapy and regular clinical supervision are central to my professional development and inform my work as a therapist. In addition, I participate in certified seminars and continuing education activities that support my clinical practice and ethical development.
