Online counselling
My name is Meropi and I want to help you connect with yourself and see you thrive.
Your space. Your story.
Maybe you have come to my website because you are burdened with 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 am glad you are here. 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.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
—Carl Rogers
How we will work together
I believe you can be the person you want to be and that this can happen through knowing and accepting yourself.
In our sessions I aim to 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 begin to better understand and love who you are. To freely be you.
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 lifeyour way.
About me
My name is Meropi Athanasiou 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. 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. I am currently based in Valencia, Spain. 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.
