Welcome! You are important to me, and if you read this you have already made the first step towards your heling journey.

I am highly experienced in compassion based trauma therapy, EMDR, cognitive processing trauma, critical event debriefing, suicide/violence prevention, relationship interventions, risk assessment and risk management, professional stress management, clients/patients counselling and psycho education groups/workshops. My approach is always eclectic/integrative combining the humanistic/psychodynamic/CBT in a harmonious and effective way.

 I can offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space for you , guiding  you towards improving your relationships, your feelings/thoughts and experiences. I am willing to fulfil your needs , to accept you as you are, with compassion and respect.

Our aim will be to explore the roots of your distress and to improve your wellbeing equipping you with more adaptive coping strategies .

I have always applied the generosity/gratefulness, positive psychology which is bringing up in our brain the chemicals responsible for altruism/happiness/cooperation giving us lower rates of anxiety/depression/conflict.

In our way to find freedom and meaning of life, I would like to bring some light in your horizons alongside that emotional agility where we can reconnect using compassion alongside our emotions and courage to live our lives to the full. I will always tailor my intervention depending on your needs.

Our first session will consist in assessment but initially I would like to offer you a free 15 min conversation about your current problems and what expectations you might have from therapy. I will always tailor my intervention depending on your needs.

I graduated as a psychologist in 1997,  I have worked 12 years as a military psychologist and 3 years with children with all range of disabilities.

 I have also a nursing background working in this field for 10 years working with children and adults. 

As a  military psychologist I became highly experienced in  EMDR, critical event debriefing, suicide/violence prevention, trauma, risk assessment and risk management, professional stress management, staff/patients counselling and psycho education groups/workshops. Used to work independently and also as an active part of MDT I can handle a complex caseload. My approach is always eclectic/integrative combining the humanistic side with psychodynamic and CBT in a harmonious and effective way. 

As family and couple counsellor - Masters Degree 2008 - I developed skills in helping active and reservist soldiers and their families who had difficulties mainly due to the military environment deprivations.

 I have always practiced and applied  the generosity/gratefulness psychology which is bringing up in our brain the chemicals responsible of altruism/cooperation giving us lower rates of anxiety/depression/conflict - much better mental health. 

I am methodical and well organized approach, courteous and polite, with ability to cope under pressure, ambitious and result driven. I like to treat people with empathy and care, respecting my word making them to feel safe and valued as individuals. 

 I am effective in my work, responsible and able to take action in accordance with personality of the patient/client.  

In our way to find the freedom and meaning of life, I would like to bring some light in the client's horizons  alongside that emotional agility where we can reconnect  using compassion,  with our emotions and courage to live our lives to the full. 

I am working now for NHS as staff counsellor,  for Relate as a couple counsellor. 

During  difficult times we  need to treat people with compassion and we try to teach them the concept of tragic optimism (V. Frankl's concept) where all of us we  need to accept the given conditions with realism, learning to survive in our post traumatic growth which will redefine our happiness at the end of this crisis . 

 I have worked with clients on time limited agreements of 6/8 weeks and open-ended counselling. I can help to address  a wide range of presenting issues including common mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety, addictions, trust issues, self esteem, grief, relationship issues and trauma.
