Niki Polydorou

I am available weekdays Monday to Thursday.

Are you feeling stuck, confused about what to do next, overwhelmed or stressed by life and your circumstances? I can offer you a non-judgemental, supportive and confidential space to explore what is troubling you and find solutions that work for you and your life.

There may be something specific that you want to focus on, such as a particular relationship or work situation you find yourself in, or maybe you want to develop a better sense of yourself and your feelings in general. Either way, with my supportive and accepting approach I will strive to make our sessions a place where you will feel comfortable to talk about and process your thoughts and feelings.

Together we will build an understanding of the experiences and narratives that have shaped you leading to a deeper self-awareness that can guide your future choices and steps in life.

I strongly believe that the experience of therapy, and the learning and growth that comes from it, can empower people to feel they are able to make positive changes and move forward in their lives.

My approach is integrative and I work in a client-led way. I combine the relational and humanistic principles of person-centred therapy with a psychodynamic approach to exploring the role that the past and the unconscious play in shaping current behaviours. By combining these approaches, my aim is to guide you to recognising your drivers, patterns and what is at the root of what has brought you to therapy. I believe that awareness of both our strengths and our areas of vulnerability bring empowerment and healing, and this is what I aim to achieve with all my clients.

We will work at your pace, and I will accompany you on your therapeutic journey with understanding, acceptance and empathy. Where appropriate I may bring my coaching skills into our work together. Sometimes I may challenge you but always with kindness and compassion.

I work online or face to face and I offer either short term therapy or open-ended sessions for more in-depth work. 

Feel free to contact me to arrange an introductory session where we can talk about what you would like to get from therapy, and you can ask me any questions you may have. 

If you would prefer to have a free 15 minute conversation before booking your first session, then please let me know and we can arrange this at a mutually convenient time.

I believe that a good fit between the therapist and client is essential to a good therapeutic outcome so our first session will give us both a chance to decide if we feel can work well together.
