Online psychotherapy ‧ Private practice ‧ Greece
If you do not understand the patterns that shape your life, you will keep repeating them.
In your relationships. In your difficult periods. In your biggest decisions.
Self-awareness alone is not enough.
01
At some point, you begin to notice it.
Different people. Different circumstances. Yet the same outcome.
- You say things you did not intend to say.
- You react more strongly than you expected.
- You overanalyse events that happened a long time ago.
Naturally, you wonder:
“Why did I handle it that way... again?”
You have thought about it, analysed it, worked through it internally. But when the critical moment arrives, the outcome is always the same.
This is not something that fixes itself.
02
How therapy works here.
We do not stay on the surface.
As long as the deeper pattern remains unexplored, you will keep returning to the same point.
We make the pattern visible.
The first step is understanding the mechanism behind the problem. Not just what you feel. Not just what happened. But the pattern behind it all.
We examine it from three perspectives:
- Where it comes from.
- How it is maintained today.
- Why it continues to exist.
We work on changing it.
The work is practical and structured. It combines tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with deeper work on patterns and core beliefs.
Over time, things begin to change.
- You pause before you react.
- You understand what is happening as it happens.
- Your automatic decisions become conscious choices.
03
This work is not for everyone.
It works best for people who have already done psychological work, yet something continues to trouble them. Their patterns have not yet been fully understood.
Professionals and executives
Fatigue that cannot be explained by workload. Reactions that escape you in personal moments. The sense that you make decisions without really knowing why.
People in critical periods
Something has just ended or something is beginning. A relationship, a career, a loss, a move that changes you. You know the next decision matters more than the ones before it.
Greek speakers abroad
You live in another country. Access to meaningful psychotherapeutic work with structure and depth, in your first language, is limited.
People who have already done therapy
You know your patterns. You have already done the work. But you feel you have taken what there was to take from it. Now you are looking for an approach that is more structured, more direct, and less focused on simply describing your feelings.

Who you will be working with.
Licensed psychologist, graduate in Psychology from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Two years of training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and extensive clinical work in Schema Therapy. Regular member of the Hellenic Psychological Society.
I work with: panic attacks, health anxiety, overanalysis, relationship difficulties, depression, compulsive behaviours, emotional burnout, and habits that are difficult to control.
The work begins before the first session, with validated clinical assessment instruments. It is mutual and active. I intervene, explain, draw connections that are not initially visible, and share my clinical hypotheses when that is important for the work to move forward.

You have spent enough time working on it alone.
It is time for something different.
