She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on building skills to cope with anxiety, low mood, relationship strain or grief. Despina also works with trauma responses, obsessive thoughts, panic and issues around intimacy and addiction.
Despina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people notice patterns of thinking and to build emotional regulation skills. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with grounding and attention. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs her approach when past events affect daily life.
Despina has three years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which indicates professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Greek.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. People can expect clear goals, gentle challenge, and practical coping techniques. Despina encourages small, steady changes and checks in about what is most useful for each person.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Despina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT helps by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small experiments, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how past events affect current reactions and on developing safer ways of coping.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust them over time to suit changing needs.
Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this therapist's biography does not list specific formats. Practical benefits often include easier scheduling, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to use visual or audio tools during sessions to practise skills and track progress.
