About Effie
Effie Hicks is a psychotherapist who blends Jungian, psychodynamic and mindfulness ideas in her work. She holds a Masters degree in psychotherapy and healing and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Effie brings eight years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety and depression.
Sessions are delivered in English and Greek and can take place online or by phone. Her sessions are warm and interactive.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns from a person’s past and current life, and uses those observations to guide practical steps forward. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Effie tailors each session to what the person needs.
That might include exploring dreams, looking at early relationships, or working on everyday coping skills. She also addresses issues such as self-esteem, grief, addiction concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and relationship problems. People who want to understand repeated patterns or feel stuck often find depth work helpful.
Effie uses psychodynamic ideas to trace how past experiences shape present reactions. Jungian perspectives are used when clients are interested in symbolism, personal myths or dream material. Practical concerns are part of the work too.
Sessions can focus on managing anger, improving communication, navigating separation or career changes, and rebuilding after loss. Effie aims to combine reflection with steps that fit a person’s daily life.

Approaches Effie lists

Online support
Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how past relationships and early experiences influence current behaviour. It is useful for people who want to understand long-standing patterns, attachment issues or repeated relationship problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice thoughts and sensations more clearly and reduce reactivity, which can help with anxiety, stress and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, challenges and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This can be adjusted over time so sessions remain relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and reviewing body language, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
