I’m a Greek- and English-speaking psychologist in Brussels, working with adults who want to understand what is going on and what keeps it going. In therapy we work out together what’s going on, and try small, practical steps that help in everyday life. I mainly work with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and where it helps I draw on other approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, adapted to you.
Sessions are in Greek or English, whichever language helps you say what you really feel.
You don’t need to know exactly what is wrong before getting in touch. If you’re not sure therapy is for you, that is a perfectly good place to start.
What working with me looks like
First session. We talk about what brought you here, what you’re hoping for and what has been getting in the way. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out. At the end we decide together whether and how to continue.
Ongoing sessions. We meet weekly for 50 minutes, online or in person at Flagey. We look at the patterns that keep difficulties going and try practical steps between sessions, at a pace that feels manageable.
Along the way. We check in regularly on whether it’s helping and adjust if it isn’t.
FAQ
Do you work in Greek? Yes. Sessions are in Greek or English, as you prefer.
Online or in person? Both. In person at Flagey, or online from wherever you are.
How many sessions will I need? It depends on what you’re dealing with and what you want. We review progress together regularly, and some people need only a few sessions, while others need more time.
Can you prescribe medication? No, I’m a psychologist. If it would help, we can talk about referring you to a doctor.
Do you see couples, teenagers or children? I work with adults individually.
I’m not sure I need therapy. That’s fine. The first session is a chance to find out, with no commitment.
How much does a session cost, and is it reimbursed? The session fees can be found here. Depending on your insurance, sessions from a registered Psychologist can be reimbursed. Please consult your insurance company in advance and I would be happy to fill in necessary documentation.
