Psychologist in Islington and Hackney

Psychological Therapy in London EC2A, E1, E8 and N1

My name is Panagiotis Bouzianis (Panos), I am an HCPC registered, Chartered Counselling Psychologist. I currently offer online therapy and counselling for the duration of the pandemic "lockdown" and might offer some face to face sessions from June 2020 onwards.

I provide psychological therapy to adults who want to:

cope better with challenging life situations, like with the COVID-19 pandemic,
identify what keeps them stuck, overwhelmed, or powerless,
discover more about their wants and needs,
understand their family, work, and romantic relationships better,
develop into the person they want to become.

My special interests include gender and sexuality, relationship ruptures, trauma and resilience, meaning in life, and working with the unconscious. I also offer clinical supervision for psychology trainees.

I specialize in evidence-based, contemporary Psychoanalytic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
I work with young people, adults and older adults.
I offer sessions in English and in Greek.

I work from within a psychoanalytic model of therapy in order to help unconscious ideas and patterns emerge. This way you can explore what maintains your difficulties, keeping you stuck, but also what drives, strengthens and motivates you. I also work with cognitive behavioural interventions which help address practical problems arising from stress, anxiety, avoidance, dependencies, obsessions and compulsions.

Currently, I work as Head of Adult Clinical Services and Clinical Development Lead for a social enterprise counselling service.

Abuse, Addictions, Anger management, Anxiety, Bereavement, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME), Depression, Eating Disorders, Emotional Regulation, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Impulse Control, Masculinity/ Men’s Issues, Mindfulness, Motivation, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Panic Disorder, Personal Development, Phobias, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Rejection phobia, Relationship Problems, Self-Esteem, Spirituality, Stress, Sleep Issues and Work-Related concerns.
