My Credentials:

I’m a licensed psychologist from Greece, holding a BSc in Psychology from Panteion University and an MSc in Clinical Children and Adolescent Psychology from Leiden University. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience as a Behavioral Technician at ABA Center International and through extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Along the way, I’ve completed a Play Therapy seminar and earned my Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification. These experiences reflect my dedication to staying current and offering the best care to my clients.

My Approach:

I see therapy as a collaborative journey where clients and I work together to understand their challenges and find paths toward growth. My approach is flexible and rooted in empathy, drawing on evidence-based methods like CBT, which is my basic approach, or Solution-Focused Therapy. I also believe in the power of early intervention and when it comes to working with youth, working with families is very important as the system is part of the team. Above all, I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes. As an expat in the Netherlands myself, I understand how life’s challenges can feel magnified when adapting to a new environment, meeting new people, and navigating a different culture. This experience has deepened my empathy for those facing transitions, as I know how it can impact emotional well-being, confidence, and relationships.

About Me:

Outside of work, I love dancing—it’s my way of staying connected to creativity and joy. Dancing brings energy and mindfulness to my life, which I try to carry into my work. I’m also someone who deeply values balance, whether it’s between personal and professional life or finding the right approach to meet each client’s unique needs.

Summary:

I am an English and Greek-speaking psychologist based in Leiden (The Netherlands), and I offer online and in-person support to children, adolescents and adults.

I always try to bring a blend of professional expertise and a genuine passion for helping people in my work. My goal is to provide a warm and supportive space where you can overcome challenges and thrive. It’s collaborative work to accomplish new things!
