About me
Hi, I’m Georgiana. I’m a registered Psychologist in France and currently in the process of obtaining my license in Greece. I work online as an Integrative Therapist with an international community, supporting people navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
Many of the people I work with are expats, bicultural individuals, or people living between cultures and identities. They often appear capable and successful on the outside, but internally may struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, or the quiet feeling of not fully belonging anywhere.
Living between cultures can bring unique pressures — family expectations, identity conflicts, high personal standards, or the feeling that you should be grateful for your life but still find yourself struggling. In therapy, we create space to explore these experiences with curiosity, compassion, and cultural understanding.
My approach is integrative, trauma-sensitive, and somatically informed. While talking is an important part of therapy, we also explore deeper patterns — in your relationships, your inner dialogue, and the way your nervous system responds to stress and past experiences. Emotional wounds and protective patterns often live not only in our thoughts, but also in the body.
Together, we work on building emotional resilience, healthier relationship patterns, and a more grounded sense of self-worth and confidence. Therapy with me is not about fixing you — because you are not broken. It’s about understanding yourself more deeply and developing the inner resources to navigate life with greater clarity and self-trust.
I commonly support clients experiencing:
• Anxiety and overthinking
• Trauma and difficult past experiences
• Depression and emotional exhaustion
• Relationship and attachment challenges
• Low self-esteem and self-worth
• Identity and belonging struggles
• Life transitions and cultural adjustment
I offer online sessions and work with clients internationally.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
Somatic ExperiencingRecommended for those who want to use the mind-body connection to address the effects of trauma and restore natural regulation of the nervous system.
My approach to therapy is integrative, which means I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities and adapt them to your unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. My work is informed by approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment Theory, Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness, and trauma-focused interventions.
This allows us to explore not only your thoughts and behaviors, but also the deeper emotional patterns, relationship dynamics, and nervous system responses that shape your experiences. Together, we find the tools and perspectives that resonate most with you, creating a therapeutic process that feels both supportive and meaningful.
My goal is to offer a collaborative and flexible space where we can work at your pace, integrating practical strategies with deeper self-understanding to support lasting change.
