Amaryllis Kontostavlaki

I am a professionally qualified and accredited systemic psychotherapist, offering both long-term and brief focused therapy to individuals, couples and families. I work primarily in English and Greek and, when needed, in High German.

My work is grounded in the belief that therapy should respond to the person, couple or family in front of me, rather than follow a single prescribed approach. Drawing on systemic, narrative, solution-focused and cognitive-behavioural perspectives, as well as a strong sensitivity to culture, identity and gender, I tailor my work to the individual needs and circumstances of each client.

Having lived and worked across Greece, the UK and Switzerland, I bring an international and culturally sensitive perspective to my practice. My own experience of settling in different countries and cultures has also given me a personal understanding of some of the challenges that can accompany relocation, change and the search for a sense of belonging.

Over the years, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families facing a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties — from anxiety, depression and major life transitions to relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, separation, loss and complex family situations. At the heart of my work is creating a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship in which people can explore difficulties from different perspectives, recognise their strengths and resources, and discover new possibilities for themselves and their relationships.
