Dr. Maria-Christina KosteliBACP

Dr. Maria-Christina Kosteli is a counsellor and psychologist who blends person-centred work with cognitive approaches. She holds a PhD in Psychology and an MSc in Counselling Psychology, and she brings ten years of practice to short, focused conversations in the evenings. She aims to help people who feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start.

Her sessions focus on calming stress and worry, managing anxiety and anger, and rebuilding confidence after loss. She also supports people facing relationship strain, fertility and pregnancy-related difficulties, and those coping with major life changes. Practical techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation and mental skills work are part of her toolkit.

Maria-Christina draws on client-centred principles to create a respectful, attentive space. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used alongside this to help people spot patterns in thinking and try small experiments that change how they feel. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is also part of her approach when relationships and attachment issues are central.

She has worked in universities, clinics for chronic conditions, prevention centres, with athletic teams and in private practice. That variety has shaped a straightforward style that mixes listening with hands-on strategies. She offers online counselling in the evenings and works in English and Greek.

People come to her for help with grief, low mood, body image and eating concerns, parenting strain, ageing and loneliness. Those interested in starting are invited to follow the service sign-up and matching steps to find a suitable time.

Approaches that translate well to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor aims to reflect feelings and help people find their own solutions, which can be useful for coping with stress, grief and low mood.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses straightforward exercises and small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns, which works well in remote sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment in close relationships. It helps people name feelings and change interaction patterns when relationship worries are part of the problem.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then together you can decide which methods to try. This collaborative process lets the plan adapt as needs change.

The biography notes she offers online counselling in the evenings, so check the service sign-up to confirm exact session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and let you use relaxation or skills exercises at home. They also allow short check-ins or longer therapy slots depending on what fits your routine.
