Chrysoula Chlomisiou, BACP

Chrysoula Chlomisiou is a psychodynamic counsellor who supports people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addiction and eating or sleeping problems. She also helps with parenting pressures, anger, career changes, bipolar disorder, ADHD and coping with major life changes. Chrysoula speaks English and Greek and works from the United Kingdom. She trained in psychology at the University of Manchester and completed a Master’s in the psychology of child development. She also undertook a UK-based counselling training in psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy at the University of Leicester. These studies were accompanied by years of therapy, supervised clinical practice and experience with a range of psychological concerns. In sessions she uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated patterns, early relationships and unconscious influences that can affect current feelings and behaviour. Conversations tend to focus on understanding how past experiences shape present responses, with attention to emotions that come up in the room. Chrysoula is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the British Psychological Society (BPS). She follows their stated ethics and professional standards as part of her work. People can expect a reflective, thoughtful style that aims to make sense of difficult feelings and habits. The emphasis is on talking through patterns and developing more helpful ways of managing everyday thinking and routines.

How psychodynamic work translates to online therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how past relationships and early experiences influence current feelings and behaviour. It involves talking about recurring patterns, strong emotions and the stories people tell about themselves to uncover underlying causes of distress. This approach can help with relationship problems, grief, anxiety and difficulties tied to habits and self-image.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chrysoula will work collaboratively to decide whether psychodynamic work fits a person's needs and goals, and she will adjust the pace and focus as sessions progress. The aim is to build understanding together and try ways of changing unhelpful thinking and everyday routines.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm available session formats before booking as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep therapy consistent during life changes, while the therapist and client agree on practical arrangements that suit their schedules and communication preferences.
