About Despina
Despina Andreou welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She offers calm, patient listening and practical steps to help people manage panic, intense worry and everyday pressures. Despina explains things plainly and focuses on small, achievable goals so clients can notice gentle improvements week by week.
She uses straightforward talking and skills practice in sessions. That can include looking at thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety going, learning grounding and emotion regulation skills, and practising mindfulness to reduce reactivity. Sessions aim to be collaborative - clients set the pace and pick the priorities they want to work on.
Despina holds BACP, which is listed as her professional credential. She has three years of experience working with people facing stress, relationship issues, trauma and grief. Her work also covers areas such as obsessions and compulsions, phobias, panic disorder and panic attacks, and problems with intimacy and self-esteem.
She offers therapy in English and Greek and accepts clients based in other countries. Practical matters such as cost work through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
Sessions focus on real-life change. Despina combines compassionate listening with exercises clients can use between sessions. The aim is to reduce distress, improve coping and help people feel more in charge of day-to-day life.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Despina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage overwhelming anxiety and panic. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxious triggers. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing exercises to ease reactivity and increase tolerance of strong feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest techniques to try. Clients and the therapist review what helps and adapt the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and personalised.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as these are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or conversations without being on camera if that feels more comfortable. Registered or accredited professionals often use these options to make therapy more convenient while keeping the focus on useful skills and steady progress.
