Where light meets understanding,
connection is born
What you can expect from working together
There is no single method that suits everyone. I work with a holistic outlook: I draw together techniques and tools from the evidence-based approaches I have trained in and from the energy therapies, into a therapeutic plan made for the particular person.
What is used — and in what proportion — is not decided in advance. It follows from the nature of what is being asked, from age, from the context of a life and from the way each person finds it easiest to express themselves. Where I judge it will help, I suggest bringing energy methods into the plan — and you are free to ask for them yourself. The aim is always the fullest possible therapeutic outcome.
A seven-year-old will not talk about their anxiety; they will play it. An adult with panic attacks needs both understanding and concrete tools for tomorrow morning. A teenager first needs to trust that the space is genuinely their own.
Three directions
Psychotherapy and counselling for every age, play therapy with the creative arts, and energy therapies. In every case, the work starts from what you bring.
Psychotherapy & CounsellingIndividual sessions for every age, plus parent counselling. The setting follows from the therapeutic request, shaped over the first sessions.Read more →

Before the first meeting
One phone call to 697 248 7486: a short conversation is enough to see what is on your mind, which setting fits and when we could start. If you prefer to write, use the contact form or email psychoptia@yahoo.com and I will get back to you.
Each session lasts 50 minutes. Frequency is usually weekly at the start and is adjusted as the work progresses and the goals change.
Yes. Sessions are held in Greek and in English, in person or online. If English is the language you think and feel in, that is the language we work in.
Yes, with the same duration and the same way of working. Online sessions are held across Greece and abroad — you need a quiet space and a stable connection. In person, the practice is in Ilioupoli and serves all of Attica.
Yes. Confidentiality is protected by professional and legal obligation. The exceptions are narrow and stated from the outset: serious risk to your safety or that of another person, and cases where the law requires disclosure.
Neither. You can come simply because something is difficult, or because you want to understand yourself better. The first sessions are given to history-taking and to shaping the therapeutic request, and from that we decide together what is appropriate.
Let's take the first step
One phone call is enough. We will talk briefly about what is on your mind and arrange a first introductory meeting — at the practice in Ilioupoli or online.
Sessions are by appointment only. Hours are arranged day by day — call and we will find a time that works for you.
Our first contact can start right here — write to me for information or to arrange a first session.
This form is not an emergency channel and does not replace an appointment. If you prefer, call 697 248 7486.
