About Effie
Effie Hicks is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist with eight years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship difficulties and grief. Sessions are offered in English and Greek, and she accepts international clients.
Her practice draws on Jungian, psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches. She uses Jungian ideas to look at recurring themes and dreams, and psychodynamic ideas to consider how past relationships shape present reactions. Mindfulness techniques help with grounding during times of high emotion.
In sessions she keeps the work interactive and straightforward. Conversations look at what causes repeated patterns, how unspoken feelings show up in behaviour, and what helps people respond differently. She also works with issues such as body image, codependency, commitment concerns and family of origin problems.
Effie has experience in both private and voluntary sector settings. That background has involved one-to-one counselling and therapeutic work that includes addressing abandonment, attachment issues and intimacy-related difficulties. She also lists support for eating and sleeping problems and for compassion fatigue.
Practical steps for beginning are clear. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session via the service's online options. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How Jungian, psychodynamic and mindfulness work in online sessions
Jungian therapy looks at repeating symbols and themes in thoughts and dreams. Online sessions can use this approach to notice patterns that show up in everyday life and consider their personal meaning.Psychodynamic work focuses on how past relationships affect current reactions. In an online conversation this can mean tracing habitual ways of responding and testing new responses in the here-and-now of therapy.
Mindfulness approaches teach short, practical skills to steady attention and reduce reactivity. These techniques are useful when feelings of anger or anxiety become intense and someone needs to calm their breathing and focus.
Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process helps match technique to what the client wants to change.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy day and fewer travel demands. If you need to check in during a work break, or prefer not to travel, online sessions can make regular meetings simpler. The biography does not specify particular session formats, so confirm current options before booking.
