Hi, I am Ioanna, a Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion to help families and couples thrive. My work is rooted in the belief that true healing happens when we feel safe, heard and validated, and my focus is to support you to learn to use your inner compass to navigate challenges, take good care of yourself, and make meaningful connections with yourself and with those that matter the most.
Whether you are facing challenges with your parental role or seeking deeper understanding within your marriage/ intimate relationship, I am here to support you. Together, we will explore your unique story, strengths, and struggles and reflect on your deepest needs, hopes and fears. We will identify patterns that maintain distress and suffering in your relationships and discover insight, healing and growth by creating new emotional experiences and positive interactions. I will suggest evidence informed treatment plans that meet your family’s and partnership’s needs and help you cope with uncomfortable emotions and painful unresolved issues. If you are ready to discover healthier ways of connection and foster emotional well-being in your family, marriage or intimate relationship, I’d love to be there with you and facilitate this change.
About me
I hold a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Diploma in Systemic Therapy. I have extensive professional experience of over 10+ years working with children, families and couples in community and private settings, aiming to improve families’, parents’ and couples ’mental health, well-being and quality of everyday life. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and dog, being in nature, travelling and listening to music.
