I completed my core training in the field of Counselling & Psychotherapy and started seeing my first clients in 2002. Originally from Athens, Greece, I moved to the UK, to pursue my post-graduate studies, and have been working in different settings as a psychotherapist, supervisor, trainer, and researcher ever since. Similarly to how I was fortunate to embark on a journey of self-discovery and be supported on the way, my aim is to connect with you at a human level and assist you towards achieving your goals or finding meaning, purpose and self-expression in what you do and who you are or want to be. 

​

I originally trained in humanistic and existential approaches which are very much aligned with my values, as someone who believes in collaborative relationships, respect for individuality and a state of curiosity and humility towards the human condition. As an integrative practitioner and someone who later on engaged in research, I have come to realise the importance of adopting a mindful and a 'synthesis' perspective towards life. Therefore, I have learnt to bring additional evidence-based approaches in my work, with the intention to empower you towards making the changes you wish for.

​

During my professional career as a Therapist & Supervisor, I have practised in the NHS, in a number of student and staff counselling services within colleges and universities and in various mental health charities. As a Senior Lecturer in Counselling & Psychotherapy, I have taught several counselling trainees at all levels, from certificate to doctoral level. I also very much enjoy supervising Prof Doc and PhD students in this field, feeling inspired by the excellent supervision I was lucky to receive during my own doctoral years.

Outside work, you will find me travelling, connecting with nature, cooking with and for family & friends, experimenting with something creative or chilling by or inside water which is my soothing place!
