Mrs Elena Tsamkosoglou

Licensed Psychologist

“I am a Psychologist with MA in Counselling studies. I am a member of the Association of Greek Psychologists and of the Hellenic Association of Geriatrics and Gerontology. I work in private practice since 2009, offering sessions to adolescents, adults,couples and elderly.”

About Me

I help adolescents, adults, couples, and elderly individuals navigate life's challenges. With over a decade in private practice, I offer a supportive, confidential space for exploration. We work collaboratively to understand your unique situation and find practical ways forward. My aim is for you to feel heard, understood, and equipped with tools for personal growth. My broad focus means I can adapt to diverse needs.

Approach

Conversations move at a pace you set, practical and attentive, as we map the challenges you bring and the small steps that build change. In my Athens practice and online, in Greek or English, sessions are structured yet flexible: we clarify priorities, try out strategies during work together, and often use brief tasks between meetings to notice what shifts. I blend clear, respectful guidance with listening so you leave feeling more capable and understood. This approach suits people facing life transitions, relationship strains or caregiving stresses.
