Director

Kiki Iordanidou is Chartered Counselling Psychologist and Cognitive Hypnotherapist. She is originally from Greece, but completed her studies in the UK, and have worked in various NHS clinics as well as privately in Harley Street and Mayfair, in London. Working in both the public and private sector has allowed Ms Iordanidou to develop an excellent understanding of people from all backgrounds.

Working as a counselling psychologist and hypnotherapist and witnessing her clients’ personal and professional transformations and being able to be a part of their journey is something uniquely important to her. She loves her job and she feels fortunate to be able to deliver psychotherapy and hypnotherapy to help people achieve a happier and more fulfilling life. She is a sensitive person with a lot of understanding and acceptance of others. For her each person is different and for that reason her approach is integrated and adaptable to individual needs.

Collaboratively, Ms Iordanidou will explore her clients their difficulties and she help them by giving emotional support and practical advice about how to resolve their struggles. In therapy clients learn how to manage and change their negative feelings and thoughts so that they are not so overwhelming. Clients learn new tools and techniques to deal with practical problems. Life can be challenging at times. However, change is possible and Ms Iordanidou witnesses it daily. Using creativity, encouragement, compassion, humour and honesty, Ms Iordanidou commits with her clients on this journey.
