Hi, I’m Despina. I am a qualified therapist with an established private practice, working both directly with clients and alongside globally recognised medical institutions. My experience across a range of clinical settings has shaped a thoughtful, grounded and compassionate approach to therapy.
I maintain a carefully curated caseload to ensure each client receives a high level of care and attention. I work with individuals, couples and families who are curious and open to exploring change, even if they are unsure where to begin. My aim is to help you feel more confident, supported, and connected to yourself and your relationship.
I offer two pathways depending on your time commitments and goals:
1. Short-term, solution-focused work to help you gain practical tools, targeted to a current goal.
2. Longer-term therapy for deeper exploration, growth and meaningful lasting change.
I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, working collaboratively to tailor the process to your needs.
Starting counselling can feel like a big step, so it’s important you feel comfortable with the right person. I offer a supportive, professional space where you can feel at ease. I am a BACP-accredited counsellor with several years of experience. If this resonates, feel free to reach out for a no-obligation introductory call.
