About me
I am a BACP registered Person Centred therapist. I work with couples and individuals to offer both short term and open-ended therapy.
My approach is person-centred and humanistic. In essence, to me this means that I hold space for a therapeutic style that feels simple, warm and optimistic. I offer my clients active listening, deep empathy, humour and non-judgemental understanding. At the heart of my practice lies the conviction that the only expert on your circumstances is you.
Originally from Greece, over the past 15 years I have lived and worked in the United Kingdom. My working life has included working with children and families in the education sector, facilitating support groups for young adults in higher education and research in children’s literature.
Currently, in addition to my private practice, I work as a therapist at Off the Record counselling service in Norwich. I am committed to my personal development and frequently take part in workshops and seminars.
WHAT I CAN HELP WITH:
My specialism is supporting individuals who experience difficulties related to fertility, birth or early parenthood and I am continually engaged with training and research in this area. I am experienced working with a wide variety of issues, including:
Infertility
Pregnancy or baby loss
Birth trauma
Postnatal depression
Experience of NICU
Foetal or infant diagnosis
Parents of children with disabilities or Special Educational Needs (SEN)
I also support clients who are facing other difficulties, not related to pregnancy, such as bereavement, trauma, life transitions, depression, anxiety or chronic stress.
Appointments offered online or in-person in central Norwich.
