I have always claimed that my own personal journey with counselling started at the age of 9 while being asked by my teacher what I wanted to become when I grew up. My answer was a psychologist. From there I proceeded to study Psychology in Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences in Athens, Greece. I then did an MSc in Developmental Psychology in the University of Dundee.

​

It was not until years later however, while undertaking therapy to deal  with my own trauma and anxiety attacks that the idea of becoming a counsellor started being more present in my mind. This space was so different from what I had experienced before, there was gentleness here, attunement, empathy and a tender calling to healing and personal growth. These conditions did wonders for my soul and deciding to follow that path of work myself, I retained a Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Pg Diploma in Counselling from the University of Edinburgh.

​

Throughout my years of practice I have worked with people from many different backgrounds and a wide age range. I have a broad experience in working with loss and bereavement, anxiety, depression, trauma, work related stress, physical/emotional/sexual abuse, domestic violence and self esteem issues.

​

In 2016,  I completed a training course on grief and bereavement in the University of Edinburgh.This gave me the opportunity to enrol and work with Cruse Bereavement Care Scotland through which I gained some wonderful experience in working with the sacred process of grief. Through Cruse I gained a certificate in "Working with Bereaved Children and Young People" which enables me to offer a therapeutic space to younger clients who go through bereavement.

​

As a therapist I believe that the therapeutic process is a journey of going back to one’s self, to that human who is worthy, lovable, full of light and an uncompromised part of the universe. I believe that no matter what life can throw at us at any age , no matter the trauma, hardship, loss of self and pain we all more or less go through, we have the internal tendency and capacity for healing, growth and wholeness.
