About Effie
Effie Hicks draws on psychodynamic, Jungian and mindfulness approaches to offer focused therapy for common life struggles. She uses straightforward talking therapy with warmth and practical attention. Effie presents herself as calm and approachable and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone feeling overwhelmed.
She trained to a masters level in psychotherapy and healing and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Effie has eight years' experience working in both personal and voluntary sectors.
Background and approach
That background includes supporting adults, couples, and children in one-to-one and specialist settings. Sessions are tailored to what each person needs. She mixes Jungian ideas about dreams and symbols with psychodynamic attention to past patterns.
Mindfulness techniques are used to help with anxiety, stress and sleep problems. Effie helps people address depression, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, trauma and grief. She also works with relationship difficulties, intimacy and communication problems, and issues around commitment and codependency.
Additional focuses include eating and body image concerns, anger, and parenting-related strain. Effie offers therapy in English and Greek and accepts international clients. Her background includes clinical work with attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, and forgiveness work.
The approach is practical and conversational, aiming to help people notice patterns, try new ways of relating, and build steadier coping in everyday life.

Approaches Effie lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Effie will talk about the different methods and help decide which fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what is helpful and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections or days when typing feels easier. These options make it possible to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, while keeping the therapeutic focus on personal change and practical coping.
