About Despina

Despina Andreou offers calm, direct support to people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She introduces simple ways to make daily life feel more manageable. Despina speaks English and Greek and draws on three years of experience to help people who are coping with trauma, relationship concerns, low mood, addiction or self-esteem struggles.

In sessions she focuses on what is happening now and on small steps forward.

Background and approach

She listens without judgement and helps people name patterns that cause pain. She uses practical tools to reduce intense reactions and to improve day-to-day functioning. Despina combines trauma-focused work with cognitive behavioural ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts.

She also uses skills from dialectical behaviour therapy to help manage strong emotions and from mindfulness to increase calm and focus. These methods are explained simply and practised together so people can see what helps them most. Therapy covers a wide range of concerns including panic, obsessive thoughts, attachment and communication problems, separation and grief.

Sessions aim to build skills for coping, improve relationships with others and reduce overwhelming feelings. People usually start by describing what brought them to therapy and what they hope to change. From there Despina and the client set small, realistic goals and review progress in a straightforward way.

Her style is warm, practical and rooted in clear steps you can try between sessions.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Trauma-focused therapy helps people process distressing events and reduce ongoing symptoms. Work often involves careful pacing, grounding exercises and talking through memories at a manageable speed so symptoms become less overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short tasks to challenge unhelpful thoughts and develop new coping habits that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques together and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. This collaboration lets the person steer the work and try different tools to see what matches their needs.

Online formats make attending sessions easier around busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and practical demonstrations, phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. Those options mean therapy can fit into work breaks, variable schedules and different comfort levels with being on camera.
