Sessions in English or Greek, built around a steady weekly rhythm. Structured therapy based on REBT.
A quiet room in Athens.
In-person sessions take place in a calm practice room in Lycabettus, with space to speak openly and focus on the work.
This format may suit you if you prefer meeting face to face, away from screens, notifications, or interruptions.
The exact address is shared when you book. The location is discreet and easy to reach.
Online sessions by secure video call.
Online sessions follow the same structure and length as in-person sessions. They may suit you if you live outside Athens or Greece, travel often, or feel more comfortable speaking from your own space.
All you need is a quiet room, headphones, and a stable internet connection. Many clients work with me entirely online, including Greek speakers abroad and English-speaking clients in different locations.
If English is the language in which you feel most comfortable expressing yourself, sessions can take place entirely in English, either in person in Lycabettus or online.
Having studied and lived abroad myself, I understand that moving between countries, languages and cultures can affect how we experience relationships, belonging and everyday life.
We map what is happening: the situations that trigger distress, how you respond, what it costs you, and what you would like to be different.
Under recurring anxiety, self-criticism, or emotional overwhelm, there are often rigid beliefs or demands. We identify yours and name them clearly.
We examine these beliefs through logic, evidence, and usefulness. The aim is not to argue you out of your feelings, but to loosen the beliefs that keep distress going.
New beliefs need practice. We design small, realistic steps between sessions so change begins to show up in your everyday life, not only in the therapy room.
“I must get this right, or I'm a failure.”
“I want to get this right. If I don't, it's disappointing, but it doesn't make me a failure.”
The aim isn't to stop feeling. It's to feel concerned instead of anxious, annoyed instead of angry.
This way of working is based on REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy), developed by Albert Ellis. I'm training in Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy (RECBT) at the Hellenic Institute of RECBT, a Certified Partner of the Albert Ellis Institute.
“You don't need perfect thoughts; you need flexible ones.”

Fifteen minutes, free, nothing to prepare. If it isn't the right moment or the right fit, that's a useful answer too.
