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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
