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 provide psychological therapy to adults who want to:

cope better with challenging and difficult life situations,
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.

I work from within an overarching psychoanalytic model of therapy in order to help unconscious ideas and feelings emerge. This way you can explore the meaning behind your symptoms and what drives you as a person by linking significant past experiences to your current difficulties. I also work with cognitive behavioural interventions which help address immediate problems arising from stress, anxiety, avoidance, obsessions and compulsions. Both approaches approach how problems or symptoms start, and what keeps them going.

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.
