About Me

I am a qualified person-centred therapist, member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and hold a MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the UK. Before setting up my private practice I worked with a broad range of clients in organisations, providing counselling for a variety of mental health issues. I grew up on a Greek island and have lived abroad for a long time. Valencia is now my home, having lived in Spain for the last ten years. My life journey and experiences led me to counselling in a way that felt natural and inevitable. People often describe me as calm and easy to talk to. For me it is a privilege to be invited into your world and have the chance to see you flourish.

Approach

My work is based on the principle that you are the expert when it comes to your own life. Far from giving you yet another piece of advice, I will help you tap into your own resources and feel empowered to lead your life your way. In our sessions, I will create space for exploring what truly matters to you and what deeply concerns you, away from the noise of judging voices, a confidential space of empathy and realness. This way, you can get in touch with sides of you that might have been overlooked or not allowed to be expressed and begin to look at yourself with acceptance and love. Freely being yourself can give you a sense of lightness and peace that makes decisions easier to take.
