Chrysoula Chlomisiou , BACP

She is a qualified psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist with a training pathway that began in 2008 when she completed a BSc in Psychology at the University of Manchester, an undergraduate degree that provides broad training in psychological theory and practice. Her studies continued at master’s level, including a master’s degree in the psychology of child development and a UK-based counselling training in psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy at the University of Leicester.

These qualifications were accompanied by extended clinical work, including personal therapy, supervised practice and direct experience working with a wide range of psychological difficulties. Her background equips her to explore how past experiences, early relationships and unconscious patterns influence present-day feelings and behaviour, particularly in areas such as relationships, trauma, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body that promotes ethical standards and good practice for counsellors and psychotherapists. Her approach draws on psychodynamic principles to help clients understand underlying themes and develop more adaptive ways of relating to themselves and others.

Psychodynamic Approaches Applied to Online Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on understanding how past experiences, early relationships and unconscious patterns shape current emotions and behaviour. Sessions encourage exploration of recurring themes, emotional responses and relational patterns to increase self-awareness and support long-term change.

Her training in child development informs psychodynamic work with issues rooted in early attachment and family dynamics, offering insight into how developmental stages and caregiver relationships influence adult difficulties such as attachment issues, parenting concerns and family of origin problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is treated as a collaborative endeavour. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to match the client’s needs, preferences and life circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or access support from home. These options allow licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care and offer regular, adaptable contact that supports progress over time.
