Elena Playa Kyriakou

I am currently accepting new clients.

I am a qualified humanistic counsellor who has experience in working with a variety of clients. I use the Person-centred approach as well as other humanistic approaches such as Gestalt ,Transactional analysis, Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy, Psychodynamic Approach and Mindfulness. Our beliefs and the narratives we use to make sense of our world rule our behaviours ,our relationships and how we feel about ourselves and generally the way we are in the world.  In my work with my clients I focus and specialize in assisting my clients to explore any issues they bring to me or any underlying reasons for their dissatisfaction with their life and how things are currently for them. Through increased awareness of our inner world and inner processes I help the client to understand recurring patterns that hinder their life by discovering a new sense of self and being in the world.

I have trained in Dynamic Interpersonal therapy within the Anna Freud Centre and have experience of a wide range of areas, including mild to moderate depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, bereavement, divorce, relationship issues, domestic abuse, self-esteem and work-related issues. Furthermore, I have experience working with adults, elderly people and young adults. I work ethically and comply with the Â鶹ԭ´´ ethical framework . Additionally ,I am bilingual and I offer counselling in English and Greek.

I hold a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and have been practicing since 2016. In addition to seeing private clients, I have extensive clinical experience from working within the NHS, Mind, Cruse Bereavement Care ,Woman's Trust charity focusing on survivors of Domestic Abuse and have worked within the Tower Hamlets Domestic Abuse Service Refuge specializing in victims of abuse.

I am aware that finding the right counsellor can be challenging and that booking your first counselling session with me might be daunting. I would like to reassure you that you are not making any commitment just by getting in touch. I offer free 15 minute telephone consultation so that I can give you the opportunity to decide if I am the right counsellor for you and explain how I work.

Additionally, I may be able to offer you a reduced fee if you are on a low income.

 I am still accepting new clients.

There are many reasons why you might be looking for talking therapy. Perhaps you can't talk to anyone about your feelings or that you feel that people close to you wouldn’t understand or be able to help. Whatever your reasons are, my professional training and therapeutic experience can help you to examine your issues. A therapeutic space with me can give you the opportunity to open up and explore in a safe and confidential space. In my experience, exploring the issues you have and their causes can help you to resolve them and show you the way to positive and long-lasting change in your life.
