Counselling & Psychotherapy

Online internationally or in person in Valencia

Your space. Your story.

You might be feeling weighed down by anxiety, unexplained sadness or relationship issues. There may be a life decision keeping you awake at night. Perhaps it is not even clear what is holding you back. It takes courage to reach out and I’m glad you are here.

My name is Meropi and I am passionate about creating the space you deserve to tell your story and be truly heard. In my practice I have seen again and again how therapy can help you feel lighter inside, live at peace with yourself and thrive.

I offer a free 20-minute chat where you can get a sense of whether you feel comfortable talking to me. We can then take it from there, with no strings attached.

—Carl Rogers

How we will work together

My work is based on the principle that you are the expert when it comes to your own life. Far from giving you yet another piece of advice, I will help you tap into your own resources and feel empowered to lead your life your way.

In our sessions I will create space for exploring what truly matters to you and what deeply concerns you, away from the noise of judging voices — a confidential space of empathy and realness. This way you can get in touch with sides of yourself that might have been overlooked or not allowed to be expressed. Freely being yourself can give a sense of lightness and peace that makes decisions easier to take.

About me

My name is Meropi Athanasiou (she/her) and I am a qualified person-centred therapist. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and hold a MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the UK. Before setting up my private practice I worked with a broad range of clients in organisations, providing counselling for a variety of mental health issues.

I grew up on a Greek island and have lived abroad for many years. My life journey and experiences led me to counselling in a way that felt natural and inevitable.

People often describe me as calm and easy to talk to. For me it is a privilege to be invited into your world and have the chance to see you flourish.

Let’s talk

Therapy can be the springboard to changing your life and it will be an honour to accompany you on this journey.

Drop me a line and I will get in touch as soon as I can. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have or we can directly arrange a free 20-minute chat where you can ask anything you want and get a sense of who I am and how I work.

I look forward to receiving your message!
