I am a qualified psychologist and psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist. My professional training began in 2008 with a BSc in Psychology at the University of Manchester, which provided a broad foundation in psychological theory, human development, mental health and research.
I have since completed two postgraduate qualifications at Master’s level: an MSc in Psychology of Child Development and an MA in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Leicester. These qualifications involved extensive personal therapy, supervised clinical practice and experience of working with people facing a wide range of emotional, relational and psychological difficulties.
I am also currently completing post-qualifying training in couples and relationship therapy with Relate UK. The Relate approach integrates systemic and psychodynamic perspectives, recognising that relationship difficulties are influenced both by each partner’s early experiences and attachment patterns and by the wider family, cultural and social systems in which the couple lives. It explores how unconscious expectations, past relationships and established ways of communicating may be repeated within the present relationship. Couples are supported to understand the patterns in which they have become caught, communicate more openly and develop more thoughtful and constructive ways of relating to one another.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS). My work is guided by their professional ethical frameworks, standards and principles of good practice.

Chrysoula is helping me navigate some of my personal challenges and I feel she is providing me a safe environment where I can be in touch with myself without fear of rejection. Even if the things we discuss can at times be painful, she facilitated the process with understanding and respect.
