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. Her studies in Health Psychology provided her with an in-depth understanding of the intricate connection between mental and physical health, as well as the psychological impact of illness and the process of adapting to life’s challenges. In parallel, her work in Developmental Psychology focused on behavioural genetics, exploring the interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental influences in shaping psychological wellbeing. She also received specialised training in perinatal mental health, gaining a deeper understanding of the emotional and psychological transitions that occur during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Her clinical experience includes work at the South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, one of the UK’s leading mental health institutions. There, she gained hands-on experience in the application and assessment of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). She has also completed training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), a scientifically validated approach for processing traumatic experiences. A key aspect of her ongoing professional development is her advanced training in Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) at the Compassionate Mind Foundation, under the direct guidance of Paul Gilbert and other leading experts who have developed adaptations of CFT for specific clinical difficulties.

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.
