Kyriakoulis Iasonas is a psychoanalytically-oriented psychologist. His primary concern in therapy, beyond models and approaches, is to help individuals who seek his assistance cope with the challenges of their lives, whatever form these may take. Specifically, he aims to help them find their own way to manage, their own answer to the questions they face. This commitment led him to volunteer with the "Synypaksi" network, where he provided psychological support sessions to the indigent for four years. Since graduating from the University of Crete in 2010, his theoretical pursuits guided him to his first postgraduate training in Cognitive Analytic Psychotherapy, and since 2020 he has continued his training in Lacanian psychoanalysis at the Academy of Clinical Studies in Athens. Since 2019, he has maintained a private practice in Ampelokipoi.

Christina Polyzou is a psychologist and psychotherapist, offering evidence-based psychological support at her private practice in Ampelokipoi, Athens and online. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in scientific research and tailored to the unique needs of each individual.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Greenwich, and two Master’s degrees from King’s College London: one in Health Psychology and another in Developmental Psychology & Psychopathology.

In parallel, her work in Developmental Psychology focused on behavioural genetics, exploring the interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental influences in shaping psychological wellbeing.

Each person brings their own story, challenges, and goals to therapy. Some seek relief from anxiety, stress, or low mood; others may be grappling with intense self-criticism, low self-worth, or difficulty connecting in relationships. Many are simply looking to understand themselves better and to live a life that feels more authentic and meaningful. Therapy offers a space to explore these experiences safely and constructively, working together to foster change that lasts.

At the heart of her practice is the belief that therapy is built on trust, empathy, and respect for the individuality of each person. There are no ready-made solutions or fixed pathways—each therapeutic journey is shaped around the person’s unique needs, values, and aspirations.

All sessions are conducted within a framework of confidentiality and professional integrity, following the highest standards of ethical psychological practice.
