My passion<\/strong> for Psychology motivated me t<\/strong>o explore different cultures to live and work in a variety of countries through Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania. This diversity helps me to support,<\/strong> respect<\/strong>, and understand people<\/strong> with different cultural<\/strong> and linguistic backgrounds<\/strong>, beliefs<\/strong> and lifestyles<\/strong>. My life experience along with working in various countries across 3 continents in cross-cultural and multi-lingual contexts is what has brought me to where I am today.<\/p>\n

I’m a registered psychologist<\/strong>, in both Australia<\/strong> and Greece<\/strong> with dual qualifications in both countries. I have lived and worked in various parts of the world including, The Netherlands, Greece, the Middle East, Malaysia, and Australia. Since 2016, I live and work in Australia.<\/p>\n

I have worked in the field<\/strong> of mental health<\/strong> since 2004. My experience<\/strong> is a combination of predominantly clinical<\/strong> work as a private practitione<\/strong>r also working for various organizations as well as working in academia as a Lecturer and Researcher. During those years, I supported<\/strong> individuals across the lifespan (Adults, Children, Adolescents, and Elderly) providing individual, couple, and family therapy<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Throughout those years, I have assisted a wide variety of clients; Adults facing various mental health issues, depression, bipolar and eating disorders as well as relationship difficulties, addictions, anxiety, trauma, and various personality disorders through my private practice both in Europe and Australia.<\/p>\n
