I am a Licensed Psychologist (license number 582) specializing in Clinical Psychology.
I am a member of the Cyprus Psychological Association and the British Psychological Society (BPS).
My focus groups include adults, families, groups, and organizations. In my practice, I assist individuals facing a variety of conditions, such as anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma- and stressor-related disorders, eating disorders, psychosomatic symptoms, interpersonal difficulties, and challenges in adjusting to life’s changing circumstances.
I offer a range of services including psychological support, individual and group psychotherapy, personal development, parental counseling, and couples therapy.
Throughout my education and professional experience, I have developed expertise in treating chronic conditions, particularly those involving chronic pain.
I am an avid proponent of technology-enhanced therapy, incorporating hybrid formats that combine online and face-to-face sessions, as well as innovative tools such as artificial intelligence. Technology enables a deeper understanding of patients’ inner lives while providing a safe, comfortable environment for a meaningful therapeutic experience.
Online therapy, also known as e-therapy, e-counseling, teletherapy, or cyber-therapy, involves providing mental health services over the internet. Psychological services can be offered through video conferencing, online chat or messaging either as an adjunct to in-person therapy or as standalone medium.
Individual Therapy is the most commonly sought form of therapy. We can seek therapy because we wish to solve a particular problem, overcome psychological symptoms (anxiety, panic attacks, emotional regulation difficulties etc.), to better manage a difficult transition in our life (adjustment difficulties, processing of a medical diagnosis, loss or separation) or to better process something that we have experienced in the past.
Supportive therapy is a specific sub-domain of Individual Therapy that borders crisis management. Supportive Therapy focuses more on the here-and-now and how we can practically enhance or improve our depleted psychological defense systems during periods of significant change.
Couple’s therapy creates a safe place for the two or more partners to express how they are experiencing their relationship and to discover their relationship dynamics and the ways in which they influence and interact with each other. The couple gets to set mutual goals and explore their expectations from therapy but also from each other.
Family therapy is at the heart of the systemic approach. Family is something much larger than the sum of its members. It is a complex and dynamic entity that has its own rules, rituals and goals – some goals are shared and some are conflicting. Different forms of communication and interactions within the family produce meaning, experiences, behaviors, symptoms and often conflicts.
The therapeutic dynamics and strengths of a group are the foundation upon which group therapy is built. Focusing upon a central communal theme, the aim of the group is to facilitate an experience which enhances self-awareness, coping skills, resilience and emotion management. Groups help us to discover roles and patterns of communication within relationships, allowing us to reflect in a safe space with our group and find support.
Whilst psychoeducation is a core element of all successful therapies as it rests on scientific knowledge aimed at improving our lives, psychoeducation can also be delivered as a standalone intervention targeting individuals, caretakes, couples, families.
Home-based palliative care is the care approach that provides meeting of physical, psychological, and moral needs of the patients with chronic and disabling health problems such as advanced cardiac, renal, respiratory, malignant, and neurological conditions in homebased setting. It is provided by a multidisciplinary team that consists of physicians, nurses, psychologists and others
Psychodiagnostic testing is used to help diagnose and clarify concerns regarding the personality traits behavioral aspects, mood, emotional functioning, and cognitive processes of the person as those appear in day to day life. It can involve a variety of standardized tools and clinical observations in order to be able to distinguish psychological contributions that may complicate either: an accurate diagnosis and/or treatment.
Attunement is the therapist’s ongoing, finely tuned responsiveness to the client’s emotional and cognitive world. When therapist and client move together in this shared space—adapting to each other’s signals and rhythms—therapy becomes a collaborative journey toward healing and growth. Definitions,
