Finding The Right Therapist Can Be Time-Consuming.
It started with a simple Google search, but after visiting countless profiles and reading the same psychobabble, you started to think it just wasn’t worth it. I get it!
The process of searching for and finding the best therapist can sometimes be enough to make people quit.
I’ve created this page to help you quickly determine if I might be the right fit for you. Every therapist is different, and it’s important for you to feel confident with your decision.
How I work
I want to explain the kind of client I tend to have the most success helping so that you can quickly determine whether or not I might be a good fit for you.
I’ve come to understand through two decades of working as a therapist, that people who come to therapy are people who are ready to listen to another perspective, and that they realise that I won’t just make their problems disappear from one session to the other. They appreciate my straightforward approach whilst being supportive and very engaged during the session. For example, I will never take notes during the session or just let you do all the talking on your own.
My aim is to be the kind of therapist that I would want to see. I keep it real, and I genuinely care about each and every one of my clients. That is why I actually spend time and read the forms you fill out when you become a new client. I hate it when doctors ask you to write down important details and then they never even go over it with you! Same with the emails! I will make sure that I reply to each and every one of you!
In the meantime, let me share with you my educational background:
Masters of Science in Family Therapy, Institute of Psychiatry, King’s Cοllege London (2006)
Postgraduate Certificate in Family Therapy,Institute of Psychiatry, King’s Cοllege London (2005)
Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, American College of Greece, Athens (2003)
My graduate studies were extremely demanding, as I received hundreds of hours of live supervision (where a supervisor actually watched my sessions behind a one way mirror!!! It was terrifying but it made me feel so much more confident as a therapist)!
After graduating I worked in a variety of contexts, from a GP surgery to a Harley Street practice, until I decided to move to where I’m currently practicing.
I’m registered with UKCP – United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy and with AFT - Association for Family Therapy and I attend monthly supervision sessions to make sure that I provide the best possible therapy to my clients.
Although my background is in systemic family therapy, I can be quite eclectic when needed such as applying ideas like mindfulness, meditation, breathing and others.
And while I will be interested in learning about your family background and relationships—since they often help us understand patterns over time—my main focus will be on what you're going through now and what’s most important to you at the moment."
Other Interesting Facts About Me:
I”m originally from Athens, Greece, I have a twin brother and I decided to train as a systemic psychotherapist after experiencing how helpful it was for me in working through my own challenges!
When I”m not working I love spending time with my husband and my 2 boys!
If you have any other questions, call me on 08002 494930 or email me at info@evalychrou.com. If I’m not the right fit for you, I will gladly help you find another therapist who might be a better fit for you.I
