How I Work
Psychotherapy, as I understand it, is not limited to talking about problems or providing ready-made answers. It is a process of exploring how we live, relate, feel, and think, and how we often repeat familiar yet restrictive ways of being.

In my work, I pay attention not only to what is said, but also to how it is expressed through the body, emotions, silence, difficulties in making contact, relational dynamics, and the overall experience of the here and now.

My approach is integrative and relational. It incorporates Gestalt therapy, body psychotherapy, and perspectives from the broader field of psychotherapy, with the aim of responding meaningfully to the particular individual rather than mechanically applying a theory.

Who Are the Sessions For?
Anxiety, inner tension, or a sense of being stuck
Difficulties in relationships, intimacy, and personal boundaries
Recurring patterns in life that lead to disappointment or confusion
Emotional blocks, disconnection, or feelings of emptiness
Questions of identity, self-esteem, and personal direction
Existential concerns and the desire for a deeper connection with oneself
Reconnecting with the body, personal needs, and authentic self-expression

The Therapeutic Relationship
The therapeutic relationship is central to my work. I do not approach a person as a “case,” nor do I see therapy as a technique for fixing what is wrong.
The therapeutic process offers a space in which individuals can gain a clearer understanding of how they relate to themselves, others, and the world, gradually developing greater awareness, freedom, and the capacity to make choices.

Athens and online
Individual psychotherapy sessions are available both in person in Athens and online. The format is determined according to each person’s needs, circumstances, and individual context.
