About me
My Experience:
With over a decade of compassionate and confidential psychotherapy and counselling experience, I work with individuals aged 14 and above. I am a registered member of the BACP (397067), a voting member of FETE, and part of the Pancyprian Association of Psychotherapists (PAP).
I hold an MSc in Existential Psychology and Psychotherapy from the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling (NSPC), awarded in 2014. My work is informed by existential, humanistic, phenomenological, and integrative frameworks, allowing me to respond flexibly to the unique concerns and life contexts each client brings.
Alongside my core training, I have completed certifications in Meaning-Centred Psychotherapy for cancer care providers and Emotion-Focused Therapy, with additional training in person-centred, psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural approaches. This range of skills helps me create an integrative and responsive therapeutic process tailored to each person to support deep, meaningful change.
I have supported clients from diverse ethnic, cultural, and social backgrounds, working with several NGOs and individuals facing a wide variety of challenges, including addiction, anxiety, sexuality, intimacy, women’s health, depression, relationship difficulties, domestic violence, bereavement, trauma, abuse, identity issues, eating disorders, imprisonment, and immigration struggles. These experiences deepen my understanding and strengthen my ability to adapt to each person’s unique story.
Currently, I am expanding my skills through further training in Family Systemic Therapy to offer more holistic support. My commitment is to provide compassionate care that supports healing, self-awareness, and emotional well-being.

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.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
My aim is to support you in deepening your self-awareness, developing healthier coping strategies, and discovering a greater sense of meaning and fulfillment in your life. As a somatic therapist, I help you get in touch with your emotions, body, and mind to support healing that is felt as well as understood. This embodied awareness helps you make more informed choices and embrace change.
I work collaboratively with you, respecting your pace, priorities, and unique story. I am deeply committed to cultural sensitivity, ensuring that therapy honours your background and life context so that the support feels relevant and meaningful to you.
I believe healing happens through genuine human connection, so I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard, understood, and seen. Through therapy, I can also empower you to take greater responsibility for your life and cultivate resilience and self-compassion.
The journey is not always easy—at times it can be frustrating, painful, or uncertain. But like life itself, it can also be deeply rewarding and transformative. It is a journey worth taking: an invitation to live more fully, freely, and authentically.
