Sometimes the worry does not switch off, your energy is gone, or certain thoughts keep pulling you back, however hard you try to push them away. You do not have to carry that alone, and it can help to talk with someone who understands what you are going through and the context you live in.
Areas of focus
- Anxiety, panic and constant worry
- Low mood and loss of energy
- Burnout and work stress
- OCD: intrusive thoughts, checking, rituals
- Eating difficulties and body image
- Stress-related physical symptoms, living with chronic illness
- Grief and loss
- Relationship difficulties and patterns that keep repeating
- Life abroad: homesickness, loneliness, finding your place
- Caring from a distance for a parent with dementia or illness
I have worked in a psychiatric clinic and with refugees and migrants, students, and older adults and their families. As an expat myself, I also know what it takes to build a life in a new country.
Whatever brings you here, you are welcome to get in touch.
I help adults find out what keeps these difficulties going, and together we work on concrete steps that make a difference in daily life. Sessions take place in Greek or English, the language in which you can best say what you feel.
I work mainly with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), adapted to what suits you.
You do not need to know exactly what is wrong before you contact me. In a first session we take time to understand your situation and decide together whether and how we continue.
