About me and my therapy practice
Hello and welcome to taking the initial steps for helping yourself through challenging times. My name is Eleni Colocassis and I am a qualified integrative therapist with person-centred core values.
This means I can provide you with a judgement free space that is safe and confidential, where you will feel secure enough to talk and express your feelings. I have trained in a range of modalities including psychodynamic counselling and therefore, we could explore how your past experiences may have had an impact on your current day to day challenges.
I offer a warm and empathetic approach in a comfortable and confidential environment. We will work at your own pace, which I believe will help build an honest and reliable relationship making it easier for you to feel able to speak freely. Your unique and individual needs will always be at the heart of my work and these will inform what therapeutic model I would draw upon to help us explore and deepen your understanding and sense of self.
I understand that seeing a counsellor, opening up for the first time or to someone new can be a daunting process but I also believe the counselling relationship can be special and can open up the opportunity to see things from a different perspective and develop a deeper self-awareness.
I hold a BSc in Psychology from the Middlesex University and a BACP accredited Advanced Diploma (Professional Training) in Integrative Counselling and I am a Registered Member (396875) of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). I also hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Education from the University of Hertfordshire.
Other qualifications: A BACP accredited Certificate in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and BACP accredited training certificates in the following fields: Working with Children & Young People (Ethics & Child Protection, Child Psychotherapy & Child Development, Mental Health, Working with Parents & Creative Work), Working with Trauma, Working with Suicide, Working with Eating Disorders, Time Limited Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychiatry, Psychopathology and Psychodynamics.
Apart from English, I speak Greek. My mobile number is +447956604864. My email address is eleni.colocassis@gmail.com
