I am a Clinical Psychologist and Family Therapist. I was born and brought up in Athens, Greece, where I started my studies. I then moved to UK where I lived for 16 years. There I completed my postgraduate studies and worked in mental health units of the NHS in London for 10 years. On my return to Greece I opened in 2012 in Xanthi, a city of North Eastern Greece, the Centre of Psychological Therapies "Psyche te kai somati" (it means "Body & Soul" in ancient Greek). I offer psychotherapy sessions (individual, couple and family) and Mindfulness group programs.
I have received the Certificate of Competence in Teaching MBSR & MBCT by The Centre for Mindfulness Research & Practice (CMRP) of the Bangor University. I am a member of the ACCESS MBCT, a standards-based international registry of MBCT therapists led by Zindel Segal and the Oxford Mindfulness Centre. I offer Mindfulness programs live in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace and Thessaloniki in Greece and online to participants from all over Greece and abroad.
