Stephanos has really helped me a lot since we've started working together. He's very attentive, always available for help, great listener and is great at recognizing what's lying underneath the superficial problem. The methods and techniques he showed me really improved my mental state and the way I perceive things. I have become much more self-aware, aware of my needs and more confident. He taught me how to listen to my inner-self and how to analyze my own behaviour patterns and past experiences. I would definitely recommend working with Stephanos!

I felt so much better after having 1st session with him, he is a good listener. Then, on the 2nd session he gave me homework to do. 3rd Session, we found a practical techniques and a revelation about my work related anxiety. I feel healthy again after 4th session and have found that the rationalisation, planning, focus in reality/ present time, and keep in diary techniques works best for me. 😊

Stephanos is a considerate and friendly therapist, he put me at ease right away and I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings with him very frankly, even in the very first session. He helped me come to some important realisations about internal conflicts I was experiencing. As someone who has never had therapy before, I found this to be a really reassuring and helpful introduction to therapy. Stephanos catered the sessions to me by allowing me to set the pace and lead the sessions as I wished. He also introduced me to a CBT technique that I have found helps me greatly.

First session, felt very comfortable and at ease. I felt he was listening to everything and good at communicating with me. Will be continuing regular sessions with him.
