About Me
This compassionate psychotherapist builds strong therapeutic relationships, facilitating growth through creative movement. They use a psychodynamic style, helping individuals explore feelings and experiences that might be hard to articulate. Sessions emphasize well-being through this unique creative approach. They also coordinate structured cognitive behavioural group and individual sessions. Clients seeking both deep self-exploration and practical tools for daily life will find a good match.
Approach
My work centers on noticing how the body carries feeling, using movement alongside reflective conversation to gently open new understandings and shift stuck patterns. Sessions in Xanthi or online, offered in English and Greek, move at a pace you set—sometimes quietly exploratory, sometimes structured with brief exercises to try between meetings. I blend attending to early emotional themes with practical steps drawn from cognitive approaches so therapy feels both deep and useable. This way of working often suits people seeking embodied insight alongside everyday tools.
