Therapeutic Harbour
I chose the name Therapeutic Harbour because I see counselling as a safe place , a space to pause, reflect, and gather strength when life feels overwhelming.
Just as a harbour provides shelter from rough seas, therapy offers a supportive and secure environment where you don’t have to face challenges alone.
A harbour is also a place of renewal. It’s where ships are repaired, restored, and prepared to continue their journey.
In the same way, counselling can give you the time and tools to heal, rebuild confidence, and discover new directions.
At Therapeutic Harbour, my aim is to offer a calm, grounding environment where you can anchor yourself, explore your experiences, and find the clarity and resilience to move forward with confidence.
Few words about me
My name is Faidra, I am originally from Greece, I have been living in the UK for over 15 years. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and I am a qualified therapist (counsellor) and psychotherapist at level 7.

As a therapist, I have experience with a wide range of concerns, including :
Trauma (childhood, relational, and complex)
Anxiety and panic attacks
Depression
Variety of mental health conditions
Low self-esteem
Stress and burnout
Relationship and attachment difficulties
Family conflict

CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It offers practical strategies for challenges such as anxiety, stress, and low mood, helping you break unhelpful cycles and build coping tools for daily life.
Person-Centred Approach
At the core of my practice is the Person-Centred approach, which emphasises empathy, acceptance, and understanding. In a safe, non-judgemental space, you can feel heard and valued, building the self-awareness and confidence to create change.
Attachment Theory
Attachment Theory
Explores how early experiences shape relationships and self-view. Together we can identify old patterns that may be unhelpful today, and work towards more secure, healthy connections with others.
