About me

I am a Greek licensed psychologist with postgraduate training in Counseling and Psychotherapy (MSc). I completed my studies in Psychology with academic distinction at the American College of Greece and the Open University (United Kingdom). In the past I have received a trainer΄s training in Neurolinguistic Programming (ΝLP). I have a private practice in Athens Greece and I offer my services on a regular basis to adult individuals. Apart from face-to-face sessions, I offer counselling and psychotherapy online, also in English. In addition to my private practice, I offer my services to different organisations, like the Counselling Centre of the American College of Greece and the Municipality Clinic of Athens. I have also attended programs in several clinical settings. I have experience with clients with a wide range of issues such as addictions, anxiety and stress, depression, family relations, violence, grief, identity, crises, trauma, and food disorders. In addition, as a researcher, I have participated in several international conferences and workshops and have presented my own research studies. I believe in continuous training and development, which is why I like to keep up to date with the latest developments in the fields of interest that are relevant to my work

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Existential analysisRecommended for those who are searching for deeper meaning in life or are struggling with big questions about existence, freedom, and purpose.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
My therapeutic style is rooted in the Scientist-Practitioner model, which means I bridge the gap between rigorous clinical research and compassionate, individualized care. I view therapy as a partnership where my clinical expertise meets your unique life experience. 1. An Integrative & Tailored Approach Because no two individuals are the same, I do not believe in a "one size fits all" method. My style is integrative, drawing from: Person-Centered Counseling: To provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard. Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP): To help identify and shift limiting patterns of thought and behavior. Evidence-Based Psychotherapy: Utilizing techniques proven effective for issues like anxiety, trauma, and depression. The Therapeutic Journey Initial Consultation: We begin by exploring your history and current challenges, ensuring you feel comfortable in the therapeutic environment. Assessment & Goal Setting: Together, we identify the core issues—whether they are rooted in past trauma, family dynamics, or current stressors like addiction or anxiety. Active Intervention: We move beyond "just talking." We work on cognitive shifts and behavioral strategies to help you manage crises and reclaim your sense of identity. Bilingual Flexibility: I offer sessions in both Greek and English, accommodating the cultural nuances and linguistic preferences of a diverse clientele.
