Chrysoula Chlomisiou , BACP

Chrysoula Chlomisiou is a qualified psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist with formal training that began in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Manchester. Her academic path continued with a master’s degree in the psychology of child development and a UK-based training in psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy at the University of Leicester, qualifications earned through extended periods of personal therapy, supervised clinical practice, and direct work with people facing a wide range of psychological difficulties.

Her background in psychology provides generalist knowledge of human development and behaviour, while her psychodynamic training focuses on exploring emotional patterns rooted in early relationships and life experience. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Chrysoula offers services in English and Greek and brings six years of clinical experience to her practice, drawing on her training to support people dealing with relationship challenges, trauma, grief, self-esteem concerns, mood difficulties, and related issues.

Throughout her training and practice she has engaged in supervised clinical work and ongoing professional development, combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience to inform a reflective, psychodynamically-oriented approach to therapy.

Psychodynamic approaches and online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy helps people explore how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings, behaviours, and relationship patterns. It encourages reflection on unconscious or habitual ways of responding, supporting deeper understanding of issues such as attachment, grief, and recurring relational difficulties.

Psychodynamic counselling uses similar principles in a focused, talk-based format to address present-day problems by identifying emotional patterns and inner conflicts. This approach is often suited to people who want to understand the roots of their distress and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Chrysoula works collaboratively with each person to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is most helpful and adjust the approach as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or more frequent contact is possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from different locations within the United Kingdom, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
