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.

Antonis Tsourounakis, MSc, is a Psychologist - Psychotherapist (Integrative Psychotherapy & Counseling) and maintains his private practice in Chania and Ilisia. As a psychologist, he believes that every individual has something unique to express or perceive in a given situation. Therefore, each person’s perception of the world is different. His duty is to listen to the perspectives of the people who visit him, no matter how much they differ from his own, and to collaboratively give meaning to their reality, identify the strengths and interactions within it, and consequently make the individual's daily life more functional, sustainable, and pleasant. This process is not magic, but it is magical and certainly not a compulsory task, but rather a healthy collaboration. Therefore, offer yourself this gift, whenever you feel that the time is right. Mr. Tsourounakis is a graduate of the University of Athens, Department of Psychology, with a degree grade of 8.4/10 and postgraduate education in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counseling. He has worked in structures for persons with disabilities of the Ministry of Health (2020-2021) and in the Family Therapy Unit (2018-2020), a branch of the Psychiatric Hospital of Athens. Furthermore, he has served as a trainee Psychologist at the General Air Force Hospital (2021-2022), as well as in other mental health-related institutions. Between 2014-2018, he was a member of the NGO E.K.KLI.PSY., an organization primarily engaged in clinical research work. Lastly, he is a member of the Greek Actors Association, where he has been volunteering his services to this day.
