About Effie
Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years' experience, Effie Hicks works in the United Kingdom and offers help for stress, anxiety, relationships and a wide range of other concerns. She speaks English and Greek and has worked in both private and voluntary settings.
Effie trained to a masters level in psychotherapy and healing. She describes her practice as integrative, drawing on Jungian, psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches alongside person-centred ideas. Sessions aim to be interactive and conversational, with time to reflect on feelings, patterns and everyday problems.
She supports people with mood difficulties such as depression and anxiety, and with relationship and family problems including communication, separation and blended family issues. Other areas she works with include trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, low self-esteem and issues around intimacy and commitment.
Effie also offers work that looks at attachment, abandonment and inner-child material. Jungian dream work and psychodynamic ideas are used where helpful to look at long-standing patterns and past relationships that affect current life.
Her background includes experience with adults, couples and children in voluntary and private settings. The BACP membership listed is British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. People who prefer to discuss concerns in Greek can do so, otherwise sessions are in English.

How Jungian, Mindfulness and Psychodynamic ideas can work online
Jungian therapy looks at symbols, dreams and personal meaning. It can help people who want to understand recurring images, emotional patterns or issues linked to identity and relationships. Mindfulness therapy teaches practical awareness skills to manage stress and reduce reactivity. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems and intense emotions. Psychodynamic work focuses on how past relationships shape present behaviour and close relationships, which can help with attachment, abandonment and long-standing patterns.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree what feels most useful. That choice is based on the person's concerns, aims and preferences and is reviewed as sessions progress.
The site biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm what formats are currently offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing a short check-in during a work break, or reducing the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and dream work to suit an online setting while keeping sessions practical and focused on everyday change.
