Together, we can work with whatever you wish to bring into therapy. This space is held safely for you, with an open and curious approach shaped by your experiences, cultural background, needs and goals.
What we can explore together
- Anxiety and stress
- Identity and belonging
- Low mood and low energy
- Depression
- Trauma
- Expat life
- Grief and loss
- Burnout
- ADHD: therapeutic support
- Psychological assessment and therapeutic support
I see therapy as a collaborative process in which the therapeutic relationship plays a central role. Together, we explore what you are experiencing, gain a deeper understanding of patterns that may be influencing your life, and discover new ways of moving forward that feel right for you.
My approach is based on my ongoing training in clinical integrative psychotherapy, grounded in person-centred principles and informed by cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic perspectives. I draw on these approaches depending on your needs, experiences and goals, and we shape the therapeutic process together.
Having lived in different countries myself, I understand that life abroad can bring its own challenges around identity, belonging, relationships, loneliness and change. I aim to offer a warm, safe and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and explore your experiences at your own pace. My work is trauma-informed and guided by empathy, curiosity and respect for each person’s story.
Sessions are in English or Greek, in person at Flagey (Ixelles, Brussels) or online.
