Individual Therapy · Psychodynamic

Space to understand why, not just what

One-to-one psychodynamic therapy for anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns, grief, and the things that resurface when life goes quiet enough to notice them.

Welcome

A place to think, not just to talk

Individual therapy here is psychodynamic: exploratory, unhurried, and built on the idea that what troubles us in the present usually has roots that go back further than we first assume. Rather than treating a symptom in isolation, we look together at the patterns underneath it — in relationships, in work, in the way you speak to yourself when no one else is listening.

Sessions take place by secure video, at the same hour each week, in English, French, or Greek. There's no waiting room and no commute — just a regular, protected space that's entirely yours.

Is This For You?

People often begin when…

  • A familiar pattern keeps repeating in relationships
  • Anxiety or low mood has settled in without an obvious cause
  • A loss or life transition has reopened older feelings
  • A sense of who you are feels unclear or unsettled
  • You've tried to manage something alone for a long time
  • You want to understand why, not just cope better
Areas I Work With

What tends to bring people here

Every case is different — this is simply where individual work often begins.

Anxiety & Overwhelm

Persistent worry, racing thoughts, or a nervous system that struggles to settle, even when things seem outwardly fine.

Low Mood & Depression

A flatness or heaviness that's settled in, sometimes with a clear cause, sometimes without one you can name.

Relationship Patterns

Repeating dynamics — in romantic relationships, family, or work — that keep landing you in the same difficult place.

Grief & Loss

Bereavement, complicated mourning, or losses that don't fit the usual shape — a relationship, an identity, a future you'd expected.

Identity & Life Transitions

Career change, parenthood, migration, ageing — moments when who you thought you were no longer quite fits.

Self-Esteem & Self-Criticism

A harsh inner voice, chronic self-doubt, or a sense of never being quite enough.

Practicalities

What to expect

Format Secure live video, 50 minutes, at the same time each week
Languages English, French, or Greek
Getting started A free 15-minute introductory call, followed by an initial assessment session if we're a good fit
Duration Open-ended — psychodynamic work moves at the pace the material calls for, reviewed together as we go
Between Sessions

The work doesn't stop when the call ends

Alongside sessions, I write regularly on the blog — practical, psychodynamically-grounded articles on the kinds of things that surface between appointments. Several come with a companion worksheet, available on request at the end of the post.

Need urgent help today?

Most people visiting this website are looking for therapy rather than emergency care. However, if you believe you may be at immediate risk of harming yourself or someone else, or you feel unable to keep yourself safe, please seek emergency support before arranging therapy.

  • Call 999 for an ambulance (UK only)
  • Go straight to A&E, if you can
  • Call your local crisis team — if you don't have their number, you can find one on the NHS website

If you can't do this yourself, ask someone to help you. Mental health emergencies are serious — you are not wasting anyone's time.

NHS 111 (UK only) for urgent mental health support  ·  Samaritans, 24/7 confidential helpline: 116 123 (UK only)

Once you are safe, we would be pleased to discuss whether ongoing psychotherapy may be helpful.
