I emphasise establishing a secure and empathetic therapeutic relationship as the foundation of my work with children and young people. As an integrative child and adolescent counsellor, I have been trained in a range of therapeutic models, allowing me to adapt my approach to meet each client's needs. My approach is child-centred as I adopt a non-directive stance, allowing the child to lead the sessions to promote their sense of autonomy. Prior to my counselling training, I gained valuable experience as a primary and early years teacher. My background involves working with children who face behavioural, and emotional challenges.
I also work in a relational and attachment-informed way aiming to provide a supportive environment where the child or young person feels comfortable exploring their relational patterns and developing a sense of security. I also utilise play and other creative methods to engage children and adolescents in the exploration of their emotions.
I provide short-term and long-term counselling to children and young people aged 8-18 years old in both English and Greek. Contact me via email to arrange a free 15-minute initial consultation over the phone at a time that suits you. During the consultation, we can discuss what brings you or your child to counselling and how we can work together.
