MEET OUR TEAM

I’m a founder of the Expat Psychologist. When I arrived a more than a decade ago in The Netherlands such title had not existed! I have been looking for someone who knows what it is to be an expat and a good knowledge how to help with those feelings. I was that person who can understand how to be an expat and to have the psychological knowledge to help them. I have combined my education in Psychology and experiences living abroad as an expat to become an Expat Psychologist. I was the founder of the title and the first one here in the Netherlands to start to help many expats and their spouses. On this moment I lead a successful International Practice with several amazing psychologist!

My education is very broad – Master of Science (MSc) in Psychology, Conflict Management, Child Psychology, Stress Management Coaching & Consultancy Professional, Occupational Psychology, Executive Coaching, and Masterclasses in Diagnosing & Treatment of the Gifted. Member of American Menthal Health Counselor Association (AMHCA). Member of European Association for Counselling (EAC).

I have lived in Syria, Switzerland, Belgium, Ukraine, Dubai and Nigeria and worked for several years and experienced the beauty of different cultures.

I am a Spanish highly motivated psychologist, devoted in helping people who found themselves in difficult situations. I was born and bred in Barcelona, Spain and there, I obtained a Master degree.

I have had the privilege to work with different groups of age, such as children, teenagers and adults, in different social and health care centers. My work has been mainly focused on the cognitive behavioral approach, however, I also apply other psychologist techniques, since every person and every situation required a special and different treatment. I conduct sessions in both, Spanish and Catalan.

I was born and bred in Barcelona, Spain. There, I obtained a Master degree in General Sanitary Psychology and a Postgraduate degree in Advances Clinical Psychopathology, where I had the opportunity to dive into applicable techniques to obtain a balanced mental health. I always have known that I wanted to dedicate my whole life to this profession, because for me is more than that, is my vocation.

Since I became an expat myself when I arrived to The Netherlands 3 years ago, I progressively focused on psychological practice for expat population, implementing evidence-based treatments in an integrating way. I conduct sessions in Spanish (native), English and Italian.

I’m a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and a Child and Adolescent psychologist (MSc). I offer my services as a child psychologist in English or Greek. Also with my expertise in ABA a behavior based & child led, fun approach, I offer my services as a consultant and as a direct care provider to children with special needs and autism.

I was born and raised in Athens, Greece. Facing the big dilemma between teaching and psychology, I opted for the second. During my study in psychology, I started volunteering in different NGO’s and public therapeutic centers including internships in schools for children with special needs.

In the meantime, I got certified as a parent training coach, undertook a certificate in learning difficulties and disabilities offered by the University of Thessaly and got trained to work with children with autism.
