I prioritize creating a safe and warm connection with the client to smoothly transition to exploring complex thoughts, emotions, and memories. However, I always clarify that therapy is not a magic pill and the therapist is not a magician. Contrary, therapy needs time and effort by both sides to work.

Alexandra was my first therapist and I remember being nervous to start. She made it easy for me to open up through a cultivated open and safe space — holding my emotions while also challenging my old core schemas.
Therapy with Alexandra has helped my relationship with myself, my friends and my family.

Στην αρχή της θεραπείας αισθανόμουν λίγο χαμένος και αρκετά αγχωμένος. Πλέον νιώθω πως έχω καλύτερη επίγνωση των συναισθημάτων και των συμπεριφορών μου.
Δεν ήταν η πρώτη φορά που έκανα ψυχοθεραπεία, αλλά ήταν η μόνη φορά που είδα τόσο έντονη διαφορά.

Some key things that helped me more were the understanding of myself, my emotions and discovering different techniques — realising the wrong comparisons I was making.
I think therapy has helped me in a lot of different ways by making me a better person.

You can send an email to your.soul.smells.like.yasemi@gmail.com or fill out the contact form. Don’t worry about what you should include in your first message. Tell me a bit about yourself, explain in your own words why you decided to reach out, and ask any questions you would like to pose.
After our initial contact, it’s important to arrange our first session according to our mutual availability. Depending on my current availability and taking into consideration your schedule, we will try to find the most suitable day and time.
Once the registration & privacy consent form have been signed, and the first session has been paid as agreed, our first session will be confirmed.
I will ensure I email you the appropriate link before each of our sessions. A webcam or a smartphone and a stable internet connection are necessary to participate in the sessions. It is suggested to verify your video/audio settings and internet connection a day before our session.
Many people attending therapy for the first time or even having their first session with a therapist they haven’t worked with before don’t know what to expect or how therapy works. That is alright! I understand that anyone taking the initiative to look for psychological support is stepping out of their comfort. We will move together step by step in this procedure.
Don’t worry about what you should include in your first message. Maybe try to tell me a bit about yourself, explain in your own words why you decided to reach out, and ask any questions you would like to pose.
