My Approach

Therapy offers a chance to slow down and explore what is happening in your life. You may be experiencing anxiety or depression, difficulties in your relationships, low self-esteem, stress or burnout, or struggling with a significant change or loss. I provide a thoughtful, compassionate space in which you can talk openly, make sense of your experiences and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and what you need.

I work relationally as I believe the relationship between therapist and client is an important part of the therapeutic process, and I aim to bring warmth, openness and genuine curiosity to our work together. As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on different therapeutic approaches and I consider both your past and present experiences and relationships, your culture, physical and mental health, your work and everything else that is important to you.

Therapy is not a quick fix and can sometimes be challenging. I won't tell you what you should do; instead, I will support you in exploring your thoughts, feelings and experiences, understanding yourself more deeply and making choices that feel right for you.

Sessions are typically weekly, on the same day and time and last for 50 minutes. I offer a complimentary 20 minute initial consultation, giving us an opportunity to meet, talk about what has brought you to therapy and consider whether we might be a good fit to work together.

About Me

Hello and thank you for checking my profile. My name is Elia, I am a qualified integrative psychotherapist, offering online, individual therapy to adults based in the UK and internationally.

I work with clients experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, stress and burnout, bereavement and loss, life transitions and the impact of difficult or traumatic experiences.

I have a corporate background, with decades of experience working in the City. I understand the pressures of demanding, fast-paced professional environments, the stress of navigating workplace relationships and politics, and the difficulty of maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

I work both in English and Greek.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

The loss of someone important can be a life-changing experience. This may be the loss of a partner, family member, friend, colleague or much-loved pet. You may be feeling overwhelmed, depressed or unable to cope, or find that your sense of identity has changed. The future you had imagined may suddenly look very different, and it can be difficult to know how to move forward. People grieve in different ways and at different paces, and there is no single or “right” way to grieve. Giving yourself permission to grieve and having a safe space in which to express and explore whatever you are experiencing can be an important part of finding your way through loss. I can provide that space and support you in exploring the many emotions that grief can bring. Sometimes a loss can also bring earlier experiences or wounds to the surface, which we can gently explore together. We can consider the changes the loss has brought to your life and identity, and, over time, explore how you might find a sense of connection, meaning and hope for the future while continuing to carry the relationship and memories of the person you have lost.
Depression affects how we feel, how we relate to others and even our capacity to manage everyday life. You may appear to be functioning well on the outside, while inside you feel empty, disconnected, unable to enjoy the things you once did. You may feel exhausted, hopeless or overwhelmed, or experience thoughts of not wanting to be here. There can also be a great deal of shame or self-criticism around how you are feeling. For some people, depression can be long-standing and become so familiar that it can begin to feel like a normal way of being. Together, we can explore what you are experiencing and the circumstances and relationships that may be contributing to it. We can make space for difficult feelings, including grief and loss, and explore what may help you reconnect with yourself, with others and with a sense of meaning in your life.
Domestic violence and abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional, psychological or sexual abuse, and can have a profound and lasting impact on our wellbeing, relationships and sense of self. You may find that your confidence has been affected, that you struggle to trust others or feel safe in relationships, or that you no longer recognise the person you were before. There may also be fear, shame, guilt or self-blame - these can be very difficult feelings to carry. I can offer a safe, compassionate space in which you can explore what has happened and the impact it has had on you. We can make space for all the difficult emotions, including grief for what has been lost, while gently exploring your sense of identity, self-worth, safety and relationships. We will work at a pace that feels manageable for you, with the aim of helping you feel more grounded in yourself and more able to consider what you want for your future.
Human beings are complex, and relationships can be too. Our relationships can be affected by many things, including our past experiences, how we see ourselves and others, different needs and expectations, and the ways in which we communicate and respond to conflict. At times, relationships can become difficult, painful or confusing, whether with a partner, family member, friend or colleague. I can help you explore what is happening within your relationships and understand the patterns and dynamics that may be contributing to your difficulties. Together, we can consider what you want and need from your relationships, how you would like to relate to others, and what might help you navigate difficult situations or relationships in a way that feels right for you.
Life can be demanding, and balancing work, family and other responsibilities can sometimes feel overwhelming. There can be a constant pressure to keep going, to meet expectations and to be the best we can be in everything we do. Stress can come from many different sources — work, relationships, health, financial difficulties or significant changes in our lives — and sometimes from several things happening at once. While some stress is a normal part of life, prolonged or overwhelming stress can affect our wellbeing in many ways including relationships, career, sleep and ability to think clearly, as well as our patience, energy and capacity to experience happiness and enjoyment. We can explore what may be contributing to your stress and understand how it is affecting you. Together, we can look at ways of managing and regulating stress, as well as considering what changes, boundaries or support might help to reduce the pressure and create a greater sense of balance in your life.
