I specialise in helping high-functioning individuals and busy professionals who are tired of simply coping and want meaningful, lasting change. Together we create a confidential and supportive space where you no longer need to keep performing, holding everything together or carrying your struggles alone.

Hi, I'm Despina — and if you've landed here, chances are something has been weighing on you for a while. Maybe it's anxiety that's been quietly (or not so quietly) running the show... I have worked with a lot of individuals experiencing different kinds of anxiety, low mood or who have been through traumatic things in life that have been difficult to move on from. Whatever it is, and however long it has been going on for, I want you to know you don't have to keep navigating it alone. My aim is to take it at a pace that works best for the person, but also get to using techniques that actually work.

Many of my adult and young clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed with worries, can't sleep, feel stuck, or are very self-critical.

Together, we can help you understand what’s been holding you back, develop healthier ways of coping and relating, and move towards a life that feels more meaningful, connected and true to who you are.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Counsellors
Do I need exposure and response prevention therapy?
Many clients decide to seek help for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours when these symptoms are distressing enough to disrupt everyday life. Any thoughts or behaviours that cause friction in close relationships are also worth addressing. In addition, the client’s symptoms don’t have to be severe for them to benefit from ERP therapy.
Is exposure and response prevention therapy part of cognitive behavioural therapy?
Exposure and response prevention is one specific type of CBT that focuses on behavioural change in response to triggering stimuli. It is related to exposure therapy but adds an additional component of preventing compulsive and harmful responses.
How long does exposure and response prevention therapy take?
While every patient is different, exposure and response prevention therapy typically lasts around 12 sessions, although some treatments can take longer. A therapist will determine if the treatment is complete based on how the client faces their fears, particularly the strongest ones. When a client feels less anxiety about stimuli that once evoked terror or distress, that is generally an indication that they are nearing the end of ERP therapy.
What are the limitations of exposure and response prevention therapy?
The most common pitfalls of exposure and response prevention therapy include not addressing a client’s core fears, allowing the client to avoid their most distressing stimuli, and using imaginary exposure when the client requires real-life exposure (and vice versa). ERP therapy is most effective when the client commits to the full course of treatment; if the client stops early or doesn’t practice what they have learned outside of therapy sessions, they are less likely to have successful outcomes.
