In Plain English

If you have found your way here, then clearly you are looking to talk, but clearly not in Greek.

Hypnosis was started as a center to promote Holistic Mental Health to the local city of Rethymno and whether you are an ex-pat living full-time on Crete, or visiting us on holiday, we are here to help guide you on the next step of your journey.

At Hypnosis we aim to fully support you and you needs. Whether it be regular counselling and therapy, Hypnotherapy or guidance on meditation and mindfulness, our goal is to improve your quality of life and bring you to the place you want to be.

Our sessions are tailor made to you needs and can be carried out, in fluent English to ensure that we build up therapeutic relationship that is so conductive to change, which in turn will allow you to see real positive change in your life.

All sessions can be carried out online or in-person, and indeed, online therapy has become one of the primary modalities of therapy, taking into consideration the current needs and state of affairs.

If you have any questions, are curious about therapy, or just need to talk, we are here to listen and support you every step of the way.

It takes a great amount of courage to seek out help, but healing yourself will also heal the ones around you. Investing in your growth and wellbeing will change your life in many unexpected ways – there is nothing more rewarding than inner work.

Born in Rethymno Crete in 1981, I spent a large portion of my youth in Lancaster, England, where I graduated from Lancaster Royal Grammar School. I continued my higher education at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki where I graduated from the Department of Psychology in 2005, and went on to do clinical work at the ARSIS Youth Center in Thessaloniki, helping children and teenagers from deprived and traumatic backgrounds.

From 2006 I continued my professional activity in Istanbul, Turkey where I worked as a counsellor and teacher for both the staff and students  in international educational institutions such as  ‘Dogus University’, Sezin College and Irmak Schools. 

I continued my training and education with a Masters in Linguistics from Walton Hall Open University in Milton Keynes, England in 2014. In 2015 I decided to focus further on the study and healing of Chronic Pain as I myself suffered from Chronic Pelvic Pain from 2015-2019 and finished training from the NLP institute in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Chronic Pain. This was then further supported with training in Hypnotherapy using the Rapid Transformational Therapy from the RTT school.

In 2015, and during a very stressful period of change, I was diagnosed with Chronic Pelvic Pain. This was a life changing experience for me, as I directed all my energy and interest in better understanding and developing methods to better deal with chronic pain on a daily basis. It also helped shape my further education and outlook, as I became aware that it is necessary to deal with any condition from a holistic perspective, taking into account the needs and environment of every patient. I have personal interest in helping any and all sufferers of Chronic Pain as I believe that it is possible to improve the overall quality of life with the right training and counselling. 

Ι believe that every client’s needs are as unique as the client themselves and that anyone, no matter their background or medical history, deserves a better quality of life.
