I’m Anasia Sokratous, a Licensed Counselling Psychologist MSc( 857) based in Cyprus - here to guide you through life’s most complex and difficult matters. I truly care about my clients’ mental health and well-being.
I am a grounded, calm and methodical psychologist who has a genuine passion for making a difference in people's lives through my work. I have a fascination with psychology since i was 9 and one of the things that attracted me to the role is the fact that the profession has to continually develop in order to adapt to people’s behaviors and how they lead their lives. I particularly enjoy the research aspect of being a psychologist because I feel I am continually growing and developing as a person. Over the years I have worked in various settings as a psychologist and these, I believe, have given me a broad depth of knowledge, experiences, and situations that I can draw upon. The type of person I am means I will always carry out my work to the highest standards, I will always follow the applicable rules and procedures that encompass psychology, and I will be a supportive and reliable to you.
I love helping my clients develop the tools they need to cope with all of life’s challenges. Contact me today to learn more and book a session.
