In my view, therapy is just this. A journey of self-exploration. It’s about identifying the barriers that stand in the way of your natural drive for growth and change. It’s about understanding why these barriers are there, where they come from and how they play out in your everyday life.
I am a licensed Counselling Psychologist based in Pafos, Cyprus. I hold a master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and am currently pursuing my PhD in Psychology.
I have over 1,200 hours of experience working at community psychotherapeutic centres, providing treatment to individuals facing various issues. These issues include depression, anxiety, health-related anxiety, interpersonal difficulties (difficulties with relationships), abuse, grief, loss, anger management, parenting issues, psychosis, substance addictions, eating disorders, and craniofacial abnormalities.
Alongside my practice, I am also the journal manager for the European Journal of Counselling Psychology and a researcher at the Eating and Appearance Research Laboratory at Neapolis University Pafos in Cyprus.
I have published my work in international journals and presented at various international conferences worldwide.
My research interests lie in understanding positive body image across cultures and exploring ways in which positive body image can enhance psychological health and well-being. You can check out my research here.
Further to this, I have experience working as a university lecturer and have also participated in European Erasmus+ projects, including EUROcare, an initiative for capacity building to meet the challenges of caring for people with neurodegenerative disorders in Sri Lanka and BIIPA, which aims to develop university-level teaching modules to promote awareness of body image and inclusive physical activity.
