I have been in the field of mental health for 10+ years, the last 7 of which have been within my own private practice 'In Session With Eleni' as a psychotherapist.

My approach is predominantly Person-Centred, however I do draw on elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Transactional Analysis.

I have a particular interest in working with trauma - helping clients make sense of past experiences & develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. 

I also incorporate Re-Parenting work where appropriate, supporting people to meet emotional needs that may not have been fully met in earlier life.

I am bilingual English/Greek & so welcome enquiries from Greek speaking clients who reside in the UK.

I strongly believe that healing happens through feeling genuinely seen, heard & understood. I aim to offer a warm, authentic & supportive therapeutic relationship where my client can safely explore whatever is on their mind. 

I pride myself in remaining ethical & professional at all times.

Feel free to have a browse through my therapy page on Facebook to get an idea of how I work:

The initial step in our work together would be the reading & signing of our therapeutic contract. This will be emailed over to you, & contains all relevant information surrounding confidentiality, payment, boundaries etc. This process will assist in us both feeling safe & clear before we virtually meet for the first time.

You will most likely feel anxious & uncertain during our first session, something that I always keep in mind. There will be no assessments or questionnaires to be completed. My goal will be to simply ask you questions - the answers of which will assist me in finding out more about you & how i can support you best, & you in feeling reassured & increasingly at ease.
