I am a bilingual psychologist (English and Greek) working with anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, depression, trauma, attention deficits, autism, grief and loss, chronic pain, relationship and family difficulties, life transitions, and workplace stress. I also work with bullying, social skills difficulties and self-esteem. Deciding to engage in therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming and this is normal. I offer a safe, non-judgemental and supportive therapeutic space to help you move forward in your journey of healing and growth. I believe in empowering clients and developing personal strengths to achieve long lasting change.
My approach is, collaborative, culturally sensitive, and evidence-based. Together, we work to create a treatment plan that ensures each of your goals and needs is met and we move at a pace that works for you. I believe in creating a warm, respectful and nurturing therapeutic relationship that facilitates psychological growth and recovery.
I have worked in various capacities across Government, public and private settings within the health sector in the UK, US and Australia, including rural and indigenous communities. This experience enables me to understand the unique challenges rural Australian families face, whilst equally relating to international expats and local Australian clients.
