Anthoulla Nicolaides

I work on Wednesdays from this practice.

In my therapeutic practice, I provide a warm and supportive environment for individuals to explore their difficulties in life, relationships and childhood, and to share and express confusing and overwhelming feelings. I believe that, though challenging, therapy can help clients navigate their life struggles and bring unconscious patterns of behaviour and relational difficulties to light, enabling more self-awareness, confidence and connection with the world around them, and in relationships.

I have a deep trust in the uniqueness and resourcefulness of each person and believe that with curiosity, reflection and expression, individuals can get to know themselves better, giving them a stronger sense of purpose, belonging and fulfilment enabling a more autonomous and meaningful life.

I am a relational therapist and believe that healing takes place within the relationship between the psychotherapist and the client. I have a deep belief that counselling and psychotherapy can be life-changing, whether you want to understand your past,  patterns of behaviour and relating,  or are stuck and want to explore new territories. I am interested in the existential life of people and therefore will look at what threatens a person's existence, and what affects their connections. I pay attention to the needs and growth of my clients, and I explore what brings joy, meaning and purpose to their lives.

I will work together with you to discuss, understand and resolve anything that’s on your mind, the process will be supportive and collaborative, and I will use both conventional and contemporary types of therapy depending on your particular needs or wishes.

In our first session we will discuss your reasons for coming to therapy and what you wish to gain from it. We will talk about any previous therapy and I will ask you about key relationships and any events that may have had an impact on you. We will assess whether we are the right fit and discuss further sessions if you want to continue with me as your therapist.

I am happy to have a fifteen-minute phone consultation prior to the first in depth session, or to answer any questions you may have by email. 

I work from this location on Thursdays and my fees start at £100.

I am an experienced integrative psychotherapist with a wealth of knowledge to share with my clients. My work includes psychodynamic, humanistic, bereavement, adoption, somatic, CBT and other important therapy models.  I have a deep trust in the uniqueness and resourcefulness of each person and believe that with curiosity, deep reflection and expression clients can get to know themselves better, giving them a stronger sense of meaning, purpose, belonging and fulfilment.

I provide clinical supervision to psychotherapists and counsellors in a confidential and welcoming environment.

The heart of my work as a supervisor is to create a space to support growth. 

I am an integrative therapist and supervisor drawing on attachment theory to explore the relational patterns between therapist and client. 

Attachment theory offers a useful frame for making sense of things like transference, countertransference, and moments of relational rupture or closeness. My aim is always to offer a steady, secure base in supervision - a space where unconscious processes can gently emerge, and where my supervisees can grow in confidence, insight, and relational depth.

I work with the Seven-Eyed Model, a trusted supervision model,  which ensures that all aspects of the client-therapist-supervisory relationship are covered, and I communicate in language which is accessible.  I am very considerate of working with the modality of therapy that my supervisees work with, and I am very aligned and sensitive to working with oppression.

Support and challenge are at the heart of my supervisory role. I encourage supervisees to reflect on their boundaries and their sense of self-worth, as therapists, and encourage autonomy and growth. 

I work in two locations, Stroud Green, London, N4 and Nassau Street, Fitzrovia, W1.

The rooms are calm and quiet, and well-maintained. I also work online via Zoom.

My sessions are 50 minutes long, and my fees start at £70 online for a 50-minute session. 

I will help you in the following areas:

Feel supported in your clinical work

Learn the skills and techniques you need to create more effective interventions for your clients and achieve more successful outcomes as a result.

Improve your confidence with therapy

Help develop your therapeutic approach

Share and resolve concerns you have with your work in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment

Feel 'stuck' with clients? I can help you work through this, enabling you to improve your relationship with the client and helping the client to move forward

Help you with your professional development

Help ensure the safeguarding of your clients, including ethical decision-making

To work with oppression 

Support your accreditation or membership to professional bodies

In our first session, we will get to know each other, and I will find out more about you and your modality and what you would like to gain from your supervision. 

It is important that we can work together and form a good working alliance and relationship.
