About Me
I have been working as a psychologist-psychotherapist since 2005, providing individual and group psychotherapy and counselling services.
After registering as a Psychologist (2005), I was trained in Systemic Therapy and Counseling at the Systemic Institute of Thessaloniki (2011). I completed my training in Trauma therapy with EMDR in 2013.
I collaborated for many years with non-governmental organizations and institutions in Greece, where I organized and coordinated programs and actions to support individuals on their journey toward rehabilitation for addictions and other socially vulnerable groups. During this time, I also worked as a psychologist in private practice for individuals and families who presented with a vast range of challenges in the areas of mental health and personal growth.
Since moving to Australia, I have continued counselling and therapy work in various organizations.
In 2023, I established my private practice in East Toowoomba at Downs Specialists Centre
I graduated with a Master Of Clinical Psychology from the University of Southern Queensland. I am an AHPRA-endorsed Clinical Psychologist, a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), a Clinical member of the Australian Association of Family Therapy (AAFT) and a member of the EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA).
Collaborative Partnership:
I often collaborate with my colleague, Andrew Simmons, who shares a similar therapeutic philosophy. This allows us to offer a comprehensive and effective approach to healing.
