About me
I have a BA in Psychology (with distinction) from the American College of Greece, an MSc in Foundations of Clinical Psychology from the University of Wales in Bangor and I am a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS).
I have been trained in the Rational Emotive and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (RECBT) established by Dr. Albert Ellis and I am a holder of the European Diploma in Trauma Therapy with the EMDR Method. I have also completed the specialisation offered online by the University of Pennsylvania on Foundations of Positive Psychology.
I am currently training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as in Trauma Informed Somatic Counselling.
I have worked with children and adults with ASD for more than 7 years using Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and have been a Registered Behaviour Technician.
Having lived in 5 countries so far, I recognize the complexities of being an expatriate. I understand the intricacies of acculturation, the sense of isolation that can arise, and the importance of forging connections in a new environment.
I am also very keenly aware of how important it is to be able to support ourselves by having the knowledge and the tools to observe, self-regulate and empower ourselves; whether that is because we find ourselves in a new environment, we are dealing with the aftermath of trauma, difficult relationships or any other challenging aspect of the human experience.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Body therapyRecommended for those who want to connect their mind and body to release stress or trauma through physical sensations and movement.
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
I have a passion for understanding people and uncovering the thoughts, emotions and patterns that make us all get stuck in self-defeating behaviours at times. Having been to therapy myself, I can truly appreciate the difficulty, the fear and the exposure one can feel while on this journey. I can also attest however to the incomparable gift that is knowing yourself, understanding yourself and loving yourself!
I strive to foster a strong alliance with my clients, cultivating a collaborative partnership where we work together as a team towards your growth and well-being.
Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision, and I commend you for taking this step towards self-care!
