Epameinondas Leimonis

I am a psychologist, NIP-registered in the Netherlands and registered with SKJ (Kwaliteitsregister Jeugd), the Dutch quality register for professionals working with children and young people. I hold an MSc in Clinical Psychology and a professional licence from the General Directorate of Public Health and Social Welfare in Greece.

Originally from Greece and currently living in the Netherlands, my life's journey has given me a unique perspective on the complexities of life transitions. Growing up in a dynamic and highly mobile family environment, characterised by frequent relocations and adaptability to novel circumstances, has significantly influenced my worldview and professional approach. I bring this understanding into my practice with curiosity, cultural awareness, and respect for each person’s lived experience.

My professional background includes training and experience in a psychiatric setting, where I gained exposure to a wide range of mental health presentations and multidisciplinary care. In addition, I have served in the army both as a soldier and as a psychologist, a role that deepened my understanding of stress, responsibility, hierarchy, and the psychological impact of demanding environments. My time in learning support provision within international special and mainstream education settings further gave me first-hand insight into neurodivergence, developmental differences, and the pressures international families face as they adjust to new environments. These roles have strengthened my ability to remain grounded in complex situations, to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds, and to approach psychological distress with both empathy and practical clarity.

I specialise in helping individuals navigate constant change, identity shifts, and the inherent stresses of dynamic lifestyles. Alongside my work with adults, I also work with adolescents aged 12 and older, supporting them through the social, academic, and identity-related pressures of growing up, often while adjusting to a new school, culture, or country. I also see school-aged children, in person only, at my practice in The Hague; please get in touch to discuss whether this would be a good fit for your child. At the core of my practice is a commitment to providing empathic and personalised support. I aim to help clients build resilience, adapt through uncertainty, and reconnect with a clear sense of self amidst significant transitions. Together, we can embark on a journey that embraces your challenges, deepens your self-awareness, and nurtures your growth.
