Effie HicksBACP

Effie Hicks is a psychotherapist who blends Jungian, psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches to support people through major life changes. She holds a Masters degree in psychotherapy and healing and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Effie brings eight years of practice to her work and speaks English and Greek.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions are shaped around the person in front of her, not a fixed formula. She uses Jungian ideas to look at dreams and symbols, psychodynamic thinking to consider repeated patterns, and mindfulness to build calm and focus in daily life.

Effie has worked in both voluntary and private settings with adults, couples and children. She helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and blended family challenges, and problems with sleep or eating.

Practical issues such as communication problems, codependency and managing anger are also part of her practice. She can help people dealing with attachment or abandonment concerns, body image or self-esteem issues, and the strain of career and life transitions.

Many clients come after painful experiences or life shifts. Effie says the decision to start therapy can feel difficult. She aims to offer a steady, accepting presence while clients talk through feelings, try out different ways of coping, and make changes that matter to them.

How Jungian, Mindfulness and Psychodynamic Work Online

Jungian Therapy explores dreams, symbols and personal meanings to help people make sense of difficult feelings and recurring themes. It can be useful when someone wants to understand patterns that repeat across relationships or life stages.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple practices for managing stress and anxiety. This approach helps people build calmer responses to upsetting thoughts and physical tension.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. It can be helpful for people who notice the same problems reappearing and want to understand why they happen.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try ways of working that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process helps shape whether one approach or a blend feels most useful.

Confirm the specific session formats when booking, as options are set by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow follow-up between appointments when helpful. It also makes working with a therapist who speaks English or Greek more accessible across locations.
