About Despina
Despina Andreou is a counsellor who helps people find their way through hard times. She greets new clients with a steady, listening presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Despina works in English and Greek and practises from the United Kingdom.
She supports people with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
People turn to her for help with trauma and abuse, addictions, anger and low self-esteem. Despina uses straightforward tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness. Sessions are conversational and skills-based, so clients can try small changes between meetings.
She focuses on clear goals and simple techniques that fit into everyday life. With three years of experience she aims to make therapy understandable and useful. Her British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration is listed as BACP.
That credential indicates professional membership with the BACP. Sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, which many people find helpful around work or family commitments. Despina accepts international clients and will meet people where they are, helping to plan steps that feel achievable.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Despina discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods as the relationship develops. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools and pacing feel best for the issue at hand.
Online sessions include video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and practise skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera feels difficult. Chat and messaging are useful for short updates, reflection between meetings or for people who prefer written exchanges. These options help therapy fit around work, family and travel commitments.
