Online therapy in Greece, in EnglishYour session, from your own space.
Live video sessions, with the same care and structure you would have in a consulting room. You join from a private space and start from what is on your mind.
In English, with a therapist from our team, wherever you are. Sessions in Greek are with Matina Ladikou.
What you need to know before you start: how you join, what you need and what happens in the first meeting.
Live, by video
Sessions take place on Google Meet. Your therapist sends you a link before each session; on a computer it opens in your browser, with nothing to install and no account with us.
A camera and a stable connection
Ideally a laptop or tablet rather than a small phone screen, and a reasonably stable connection. If your Wi-Fi is unreliable, sitting close to the router helps. Headphones improve sound and privacy.
From a private space
You don’t need a perfect room, just somewhere you will not be interrupted or overheard. Some people use a parked car or a quiet room at work, and that is perfectly fine.
The same clinical framework
The first session covers what brings you, your background and what you would like to change, and ends with an initial plan. Sessions then usually run weekly, 45 minutes each, and the plan is reviewed as you go.
We ask you to join from a private space and we do the same at our end. Sessions are not recorded. For how we handle your data, read our privacy policy.
Does online therapy work?
A meta-analysis of 20 randomised trials found that treatment by video for depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress was comparable with in-person treatment in effectiveness, satisfaction and drop-out (Shaker et al., 2023), and the link between a good working relationship and a good outcome is about the same online (Flückiger et al., 2018).
When is another setting needed?
If you are in acute crisis, at risk of harming yourself, or need intensive or medical care, a weekly video session is not enough on its own, and local emergency and medical services come first. In an emergency call 112. In Greece you can also call 1018 (suicide prevention) or 10306 (mental-health support). For helplines in your country, see findahelpline.com.
Who it suits
Whatever is on your mind, wherever you are.
When travel, work hours or life abroad make regular appointments hard. You don’t need to wait for things to become a crisis.

Is online therapy as effective as meeting in person?
For many common difficulties the research is encouraging. A 2023 meta-analysis of 20 randomised trials found that treatment delivered by video was comparable with in-person treatment for depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress in effectiveness, satisfaction and drop-out. Online work is not right for everyone, though, and your therapist will discuss this with you.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Sessions run on Google Meet, which opens in a web browser on a computer. On a phone or tablet you may be asked to use the Google Meet app.
What happens if the connection drops?
Your therapist will try to reconnect straight away, and if video keeps failing you can agree to continue with audio only or to finish the conversation at another time.
Can I have sessions from any country?
Clients join from many countries. Some practical and legal points can depend on where you live, so please mention your country when you enquire and we will tell you honestly whether we can work together.
