About Me
Psychotherapist, registered in the European Register of Highly Qualified Psychotherapists, with 20 years of professional experience.
Approach
You’ll find I focus on building trust so we can gently map patterns and devise practical steps to ease stress and mend relationship strains. In-person in Athina or online, in English, Russian or Greek, sessions move at a pace you set, mixing reflective listening with targeted experiments and brief between-session reflections. We pay attention to recurring triggers, emotional blocks and communication habits, testing small shifts that feel doable. This way of working often suits adults and couples facing burnout, conflict or significant transitions.
