Do I have low self-esteem?
Trusting ourselves and knowing that we’re worthy of happiness is the essence of self-esteem.
ANDREAS ECONOMIDES
COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY
Welcome
I'm Andreas, a counsellor and psychotherapist based in London, and I offer individual therapy online and by telephone.
I work with adults and teenagers, and I am trained to help with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, anger and low self-esteem.
Sessions last 50 minutes and cost £40, with concessions for those on low incomes.
My approach
I work in a collaborative and respectful way, tailoring therapy sessions to meet the unique needs of each person.
I provide a safe, supportive and confidential space where you can feel free to talk about your concerns without fear of judgment.
Together, we can explore and process difficult thoughts and feelings to help you recognize unhelpful habits, resolve painful feelings and build better ways of coping and communicating.
Training and Experience
I have a Masters Degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and I am a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw upon various evidence-based therapies, including Psychodynamic, Humanistic and Cognitive approaches.
I've worked for a number of years in the NHS, charities and in private practice, and I'm experienced in dealing with a wide range of issues.
Issues I work with
We all need help sometimes when we are struggling with certain persistent issues that affect our daily lives.
I am trained to help people struggling with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, anger, shame, bereavement, trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, family and relationship issues.
To address these issues, I use CBT, Humanistic and Psychodynamic models and tailor therapy to the individual needs of each person.
Background
Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked in engineering and management.
I realised that what I enjoyed most about those roles was creating the right environment for people around me to grow and flourish. I decided to study psychology and psychotherapy while working as a teacher, helping children with learning difficulties.
After completing my training, I began working as a psychotherapist in the NHS, and a few years later I opened up a private practice in London. During the pandemic, I moved my practice online and have continued to work by video and telephone.
Fees and Arrangements
Each session costs £40 and lasts for 50 minutes. I do offer concessions for those on low incomes so please ask.
I offer weekly or fortnightly sessions and therapy can be open-ended or for a fixed amount of sessions.
If you are interested in beginning therapy with me or having one session to see what it's like, please contact me so we can arrange a free 15-minute phone consultation. The consultation is an opportunity for us to see if we would like to work together and if I am able to help with the issues you want to focus on.
