About Effie

Effie Hicks is a qualified psychotherapist based in Herne Hill, South East London, with a Masters degree in psychotherapy and healing and registration with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She brings private and voluntary sector experience working with adults, couples, and children, and draws on that breadth to adapt her work to each person who comes to therapy.

Working as an integrative psychotherapist, she blends Jungian, psychodynamic, mindful, and person centered approaches to create a warm, interactive space where clients can explore their concerns. Her sessions are tailored to fit individual needs, combining practical exploration with deeper work such as Jungian dream analysis and inner child techniques when appropriate. She also offers play therapy for children and is experienced supporting families and couples.

Effie cites her own experience as a therapy client as the inspiration for training in psychotherapy, and she aims to accompany people through change with openness, warmth, and understanding. She offers support for a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety and stress, anger management, relationships and family problems, self esteem, trauma and abuse, bereavement, sleep difficulties, and other personal development concerns.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Jungian Therapy focuses on exploring personal symbols, dreams, and deeper layers of the psyche. It can help people make sense of repetitive patterns, inner conflicts, and meaningful life transitions by looking at the stories they carry and the imagery that arises in dreams.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts, feelings, and bodily experience. It is useful for reducing stress, easing anxiety, improving emotional regulation, and building coping skills for everyday challenges.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early relationships and unconscious patterns influence current thoughts and behavior. It helps people uncover habitual ways of relating, understand attachment and intimacy issues, and work through long-standing emotional difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Effie will collaborate with each person to identify what fits best. She works together with clients to set goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on needs, preferences, and responses to therapy.

Online therapy offers practical benefits in delivering these approaches. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent support from licensed professionals with greater flexibility around location and scheduling. This range of options makes it easier to maintain momentum in therapy while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
