I am a qualified psychoanalytic psychotherapist and a licensed psychologist in Greece. I provide psychotherapy online via Zoom from my office in Thessaloniki. I am a fluent English speaker, as I have lived and worked in the United Kingdom for 14 years. With regard to online psychotherapy via Zoom, I have extensive experience, having worked with a diverse range of people of various nationalities and cultures, residing in many parts of the world. In this website you will find information on psychoanalytic psychotherapy, how I work, and where I stand on issues around psychology and psychotherapy. You can also read about my education and experience in the United Kingdom and Greece.
With online psychotherapy you can access psychoanalytic psychotherapy from any location in the world, so long as you have a good and steady internet connection of at least 20 Mbps.
Take your psychotherapeutic journey in the comfort and safety of your own home or office, giving yourself the space you need to process your session afterwards, without being exposed to the stresses of a bus, train or car ride on the way home.
Therapy is offered only through Zoom so you can see and hear your therapist. In my experience of working online, I have found that in order to create a meaningful and working therapeutic relationship, it’s essential for us to be able to see and hear each other, to have a face and a voice. Hence, no chat sessions are offered.
Having lived abroad for many years, I have experience with other cultures and can relate to the challenges you might be faced with when moving and living abroad, regardless of where you are from.
Particularly for Greek expats, I also provide psychotherapy in Greek. If you would like to read more in Greek, please visit my Greek website.
I am a licensed psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist with years of experience in providing therapy, both face to face in my office and online via Zoom.
