I work with neurotypical and neurodiverse children and teenagers aged 7-18 years old, who are facing challenges with anxiety, depression, and socialising difficulties. I also work with children and young people navigating the complexities of bereavement, and the challenges of changes in family dynamics. I am an integrative Child and Adolescent Counsellor, qualified to work with children, adolescents, and their families. I am registered with the BACP (British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and adhere to their Ethical Framework. I offer counselling services in English and Greek.
My approach is person-centred as I adopt a non-directive stance, allowing the child or the young person to lead the session to support their sense of autonomy by utilising elements of art, drama and play therapy. The centre of my work is building a secure and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship.
In addition to my private practice, I work as a School Counsellor with the Catholic Children's Society and Place2be. Contact me via email to arrange a free 15-minute initial consultation over the phone, at a time that suits you, to discuss how I can help you and your child.
