Mental Health Counsellor – Integrative Psychotherapist – Educator
Hello, my name is Vasileia Tsiotra. I am a mental health counsellor, psychotherapist trained in the integrative model – Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Psychodynamic approaches – and an educator. I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of East London. I also hold a Master of Education degree, with studies in child development within the social environment and the management of adolescent stress, from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

My interest in the science of Psychology began very early, even before starting my undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Philosophy of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, in the Department of Philosophy, Pedagogy, and Psychology. Since then, I have worked in the field of education, interacting with adolescents, which further strengthened my interest in psychology and adolescent behavior. My personal experiences and life challenges led me to seek psychotherapy for myself, which in turn deepened my need to focus on people, their daily problems, their psychosomatic symptoms following the loss of important loved ones, and, in general, anything related to mental health.

Having completed postgraduate studies in Counselling and Psychotherapy, I specialized in the management of eating disorders and obesity and hold a certification as a Master Practitioner in Eating Disorders and Obesity. Through my training in eating disorders, I placed great emphasis on the connection between nutrition and mental health, as well as on the impact of eating problems in today’s world. Today, I am a member of the Hellenic Counselling Society and work as a Mental Health Counsellor – Psychotherapist in the private sector. I provide both in-person and online sessions, applying the integrative model, with the aim of offering the best possible support tailored to each individual’s needs.

At the same time, I am a member of the team at the psychotherapy center “The Roots Wellness Center.” To maintain my continuous professional development, I participate in seminars and interdisciplinary conferences focusing on the person-centered approach to psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral approaches in treating anxiety disorders and eating disorders. I hold certifications of attendance from conferences of the Hellenic Psychiatric Association and the Association of Psychological Psychiatry of Adults and Children. I also hold certifications of completed programs at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens on the topics “Counselling – Couple and Family Therapy,” “Personality Disorders Cluster B,” and “Psychological Trauma and Therapy.” Additionally, I am certified by KEADD for completing the “Mindfulness for Stress” program.
