01 / PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Clinical understanding, evidence-based treatment and a clear therapeutic focus.

My work brings psychodynamic understanding together with evidence-based approaches, including CBT and IPT. Assessment considers the presenting difficulty, relevant history, relationships and the patterns maintaining distress in the present. A shared formulation provides direction for treatment while allowing the work to respond to what emerges.

Therapy is available in English and Greek, in person or online. It can be booked as a single consultation, for a focused period of 6, 8, 12 or 24 sessions, or as longer-term therapy. My practice is in central London, in the heart of Regent Street, Soho.

02 / THERAPY

Therapy can begin before everything feels clear.

You may arrive with a clear difficulty, a recurring pattern, or simply a sense that something in your life no longer feels sustainable. We begin by clarifying the problem, considering the experiences and relationships that shaped it, and identifying what may be maintaining it now. From there, we agree a therapeutic focus and review progress as the work develops.

01

Anxiety, panic & phobias

Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we can identify the cycles behind persistent worry, social or health anxiety, panic and phobias, then develop more flexible responses to fear and uncertainty.

02

Depression & low mood

CBT can help us understand what is maintaining low mood and support a gradual reconnection with activity, meaning, relationships and self-compassion.

03

Grief, life transitions & identity

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) can offer a structured way to process bereavement, significant change and uncertainty, reconnect with your sense of self, and clarify how you wish to move forward.

04

OCD & intrusive thoughts

Using evidence-based CBT, we can understand the cycle between obsessions and compulsions and gradually reduce rituals, avoidance and reassurance seeking.

05

Relationships, breakups & parenthood

Therapy can help you understand relational patterns, work through the emotional impact of a breakup or separation, and navigate the pressures, identity shifts and relationship changes that can accompany parenthood.

06

Self-esteem, perfectionism & people-pleasing

Using CBT and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), we can examine harsh self-criticism, demanding standards and the pressure to meet others’ expectations while developing more balanced and compassionate responses.

07

Trauma & PTSD

Trauma-focused CBT, when clinically appropriate, offers a careful and paced way to work with traumatic memories, triggers and avoidance while rebuilding safety and a sense of choice.

08

Workplace stress, burnout & high-achievement pressure

We can explore the personal and professional pressures contributing to exhaustion, loss of balance or difficulty switching off, and develop more sustainable ways of working and living.

01

Understand the pattern

We consider history, relationships and the meanings beneath present difficulties.

02

Identify what maintains it

We clarify the cycles, behaviours and coping strategies keeping the problem active now.

03

Translate insight into change

Understanding is connected to changes in behaviour, communication and relationships that can be reviewed in daily life.

03 / MY APPROACH

Understanding the pattern—and changing what keeps it going.

We may examine how earlier experiences and relationships shaped a difficulty, identify the cycles maintaining it now, and use carefully chosen interventions to support change in everyday life.
