Dr Patapia Tzotzoli

Clinical Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

If I’m the right fit, we’ll begin your journey together - if not, I’ll recommend a trusted colleague who is. Either way, you’ll be supported.

About Me

I am a Clinical Psychologist in Greater London, UK. I help people overcome addiction, anxiety, mood disorders, stress and life transitions with ACT, MBCT, psychotherapy and online therapy.

Approach

I use an integrative approach tailored to your needs, drawing from evidence-based therapies such as CBT, CFT, EMDR, and Schema Therapy.

Together, we'll create a focused plan that supports meaningful change, builds emotional resilience, and helps you move forward. A typical treatment plan involves building self-awareness, developing coping strategies, and working through unhelpful patterns in a safe, collaborative space.

Our work will take place in a safe space and you will get practical tools you can apply between sessions.

My clients report feeling clearer, more grounded, and better able to navigate life with confidence and ease.

Basic Information

Services


I'm Dr. Patapia Tzotzoli, a UK-trained Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping people reconnect with themselves, grow through challenges, and live more presently.

I offer personalised, one-to-one online therapy for adults—tailored with care, discretion, and evidence-based expertise. I work with a small number of clients at a time to ensure depth, focus, and a strong therapeutic relationship. Whether you're navigating a life transition, feeling overwhelmed, or simply ready to face yourself with honesty and care, we’ll work together to build clarity, resilience, and momentum in your life.

If I’m not the right fit, or currently unavailable, I won’t leave you without support. After our free consultation, I can recommend and introduce you to another mental health professional better suited to address your needs from my team. My colleagues offer a wide range of psychological assessments and therapeutic approaches, covering everything from specialist evaluations to evidence-based treatments. Many are located across the UK for in-person support, offer online sessions, and accept most major insurance plans.

Whatever step you're ready to take, I’d be honoured to support you.
