Hey, I am Xeni, and I am willing to meet you wherever you are in your healing journey and accompany with warmth and ease in transforming your life. I am a qualified psychologist, multimodal Psychotherapist and Coach providing short- term and long term therapeutic interventions to individuals, couples and groups. Besides being a Private Practitioner I also serve as in house workplace counsellor in various organizations where I am aiming at de-stigmatizing mental health in the workplace and empowering individuals in freeing up their inner resources towards creating new possibilities in themselves, their relationships, and the organizations in which they reside.
My therapeutic stance, has been inspired and informed by various therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Acceptance and Commitment therapy(ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy(CFT), Schema Therapy, Neurolinguistic Programming(NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique( EFT), Clinical Hypnotherapy, Gestalt Therapy, Systemic Psychodrama and Mindfulness practices. Over the last years I have explored how these methodologies can effectively alleviate human suffering in a variety of settings from clinics and rehabilitation centers to sports and high performing teams.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I have only had two sessions with Xeni, but so far I'm very happy with how it went and I think she is very professional in her work. I would recommend her to anyone.

Really helping me to realise how I can be more in control of anxiety and negative thinking.

Xeni helped me talk about things that I had a lot of anxiety about sharing. She was very calm, grounded, perceptive, professional, and a good listener. I took away some strategies that I'll continue to use in the future.
Xeni has been with for few months now and she already had a massive impact on my progress and mental heath by teaching me ways to catch unhelpful thoughts, prepare for challenges related to work and personal life.

And on top of that she offers some great practical advice. Thank you much Xeni for all the help so far!

Xeni is a wonderful therapist - she is attentive, kind, and uses creative ways to help me explore my content and patterns.

Xeni is a great therapist! Very caring, patient and remembers lots of details. She can tune into my needs but can also give honest feedback if that’s needed. After 4-5 months of therapy I feel more confident and calm, as well as understanding myself better.
Her voice is really calm and helps you feel like you are in a safe zone that you can express yourself without receiving judgement, her suggestions are to the point and put you in a position of understanding other perspectives than yours .... Very helpful!
