About Effie

Effie Hicks is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She brings eight years of clinical experience and a background in psychotherapy and healing. Effie offers a warm, interactive style and adapts sessions to each person's needs.

She speaks English and Greek and works with people on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem. Effie draws on Jungian, psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches alongside person-centred ideas.

Background and approach

That mix allows her to combine attention to patterns from the past with present-moment awareness and exploration of personal meaning. Sessions may include talking through recurring difficulties, noticing emotional and bodily responses, and looking at dreams or inner images when helpful. She has experience from both voluntary and independent practice settings and has worked with adults and couples.

Her background includes supporting people with addiction, eating and sleeping problems, intimacy and sexual issues, parenting stresses, and compassion fatigue. Effie also works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication problems and blended family issues. When people choose therapy with Effie they can expect a collaborative process.

She aims to help clients recognise unhelpful patterns, build more satisfying relationships, and find ways to cope with life changes. Her approach is practical and paced to the individual’s comfort and goals. Practical arrangements vary by circumstance.

Sessions can take place through video calls, telephone, live chat or text messaging, and Effie accepts international clients.

How Jungian, Psychodynamic and Mindfulness Work Online

Jungian work often pays attention to dreams, symbols and the stories people carry. Online sessions can include talking about dreams or using imagery to make sense of repeated themes and emotional patterns.

Psychodynamic approaches look at how past experiences shape current relationships and reactions. In remote sessions this can mean noticing recurring behaviour, exploring early attachments, and reflecting on how patterns show up in day-to-day life.

Mindfulness therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts, bodily sensations and feelings without getting swept away. Practising simple awareness exercises during video or phone sessions can help manage anxiety, stress and sleep problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and will adjust techniques as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments, and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
