Our Services
We provide trauma-informed, evidence-based psychological care for adults and older adolescents. After an initial assessment, we agree goals and a pace that feel manageable. Services are confidential and compassionate, offered in English and Greek.
Initial Assessment (60 min)
Purpose: A structured first meeting to understand your history, current concerns and goals, and to agree a clear plan.
What to expect: We’ll cover what brings you to therapy, key background, current supports/pressures, risk and wellbeing, and what you hope to change. Confidentiality and its limits are explained so you know exactly where you stand.
Approach: Assessment is collaborative and paced; brief screening tools may be used where helpful (e.g., for anxiety, depression, trauma). We’ll discuss treatment options (e.g., Schema-informed work, CBT/TF-CBT) and decide next steps together.
Long-Term Therapy
When it helps: For entrenched, long-standing patterns linked to early experiences (e.g., complex trauma effects, attachment/relationship patterns, chronic anxiety/depression).
What we do: Schema-informed, emotionally focused work—mapping “modes,” unmet needs and triggers; practising healthier responses (e.g., imagery rescripting, chairwork) alongside CBT skills for day-to-day steadiness.
Pace & duration: Emphasis on stability first; deeper work follows when it feels safe. Duration is open-ended and reviewed together.
Format: Weekly/fortnightly • 50–60 minutes • English/Greek
