“Systemic therapy that keeps the wider context in view”
About Ειρήνη
I am a counselling psychologist and a systemic psychotherapist. I keep a private office in Limassol for mental health and counselling support. I see adults, young adults, children and teenagers, parents, couples, families and groups. People come with family difficulties, anxiety, anger, stress and burnout, behaviour issues, relationship patterns, low mood, life transitions, self-esteem and identity, and emotion regulation. I also work with the emotional side of cerebral palsy, with children and adults from migrant backgrounds, and with adults who live with physical and mental disabilities.
I studied psychology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I hold a master's in educational, developmental and cognitive psychology from the University of Cyprus, and a master's in counselling psychology from Neapolis University in Paphos. I trained for four years in family systemic psychotherapy and hold the European Certificate of Psychotherapy. My certification in systemic and family therapy is from the Systemic Institute of Cyprus. For about eight years I have worked in mental health settings in Cyprus.
I look at the wider context and at what each person needs. I pay attention to how inner expectations and the environment around a person affect their mental health. In Limassol I see people in Greek or in English. I also offer online appointments that can fit around work, family and study.
How Ειρήνη works
In systemic work I look at the person inside their relationships and the wider context around them. Inner expectations and the environment both matter for mental health. With children I work through play and art. With teenagers I use dialectical behaviour therapy, and we can meet one to one or in a group. I also use a narrative approach.
Couples and families can meet in person in Limassol or online. Individual sessions can be in person or online, at times that fit around work, family and study. Life Belt is about five sessions for children aged 4 to 7 in kindergarten, and the team is a counselling psychologist and a drama therapist. Small groups for children aged 7 to 12 run from October to June. Groups for teenagers aged 13 to 18 run from October to May.
Approaches
General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Ειρήνη works.
Systemic & family therapy
Systemic and family therapy looks at difficulties in the context of the relationships around you: your family, partner, work or friends. Patterns between people, rather than one person alone, become the focus of the work. It can be used with individuals, couples and whole families.
Counselling
Counselling gives you time to talk through what is on your mind with a trained professional who listens without judging. It can help you make sense of your feelings, see your options more clearly and find your own way forward. It is often used for life changes, stress, loss and relationship difficulties.
Narrative therapy
Narrative therapy looks at the stories we tell about our lives and ourselves. It separates the person from the problem, and helps you notice the moments and strengths that a problem-filled story leaves out. Together you develop a story that fits better with who you are and want to be.
