Dr Alessandra Sax

Psychotherapist

“An experienced child, adolescent, adult, couples and family psychotherapist, who is passionate about assisting others in their life journey.”

About Me

As an experienced psychotherapist, I guide children, adolescents, and adults through their individual life paths. Our sessions offer a warm, collaborative space to explore experiences and gain deeper understanding. We can gently navigate challenges, making sense of difficult feelings and discovering new ways forward. This approach helps clients build resilience. It offers valuable support for anyone seeking to navigate their unique journey with greater confidence.

Approach

Passionate about assisting others on their life journey, I shape sessions around steady pacing and clear goals so children, teens, adults, couples and families feel safe to try new ways of coping with presented challenges. I offer appointments in Athens and online, always in English, and keep sessions practical and age‑sensitive. Work often includes focused assessment, reflective dialogue and meaningful practical exercises between meetings. Those facing change, transitions, anxiety or loss tend to find this steady, collaborative approach calming and clarifying.
