I’m Sofia, a BACP Registered Psychodynamic Counsellor and Psychotherapist (MA) working with adults & children. Many of the people I work with struggle with the lingering effects of childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, or patterns that feel hard to change, even when they want to. Together, we can explore what feels painful or confusing in your life and begin to make sense of how past experiences shape the way you feel and relate to others today. Through this understanding, you can reconnect with your emotions, reclaim precious aspects of yourself, and open space for meaning, connection, and self-acceptance.
Coming originally from Greece, through Porto, and now calling UK my home, I’ve witnessed a shared human truth. None of us is immune to emotional pain. Trauma, grief, anxiety, intense emotions, and fears or challenges around intimacy can feel isolating, but in the presence of a compassionate, trusting relationship, they can be held,acknowledged & transformed.
I understand that seeking counselling can bring feelings of anxiety or fear but it also carries hope. By building a genuine and consistent relationship rooted in curiosity and presence, we can work together to bridge past, present, and future. Through this connection, we can heal past wounds and create the foundation for healthier, fulfilling relationships.

Μy main approach is the Psychoanalytic one. I work mainly relationally as I believe that as social beings we are constantly shaped by our social contacts. My desire is the therapeutic relationship to be a model of a healthy attachement with the opportunity for a corrective emotional experience and unltimately a secure base from which my clients can explore the world.
