Aphrodite Vasili

I have availability Mondays -  Fridays

I have a cosy room offering face to face  or online sessions if you prefer. I have been practising for over 5 years in my private practice seeing individuals and couples.

Would you like to change the way you feel sometimes, or be able to handle certain situations better? Perhaps your relationship has come to a stale mate and you need somewhere to explore your feelings and thoughts?

I have helped people with

• anxiety/stress,

• relationship issues,

• depression,

• suicidal thoughts,

• work and family conflicts,

• loneliness,

• trauma and much more.

I am trained in Couples Therapy should you wish to explore this avenue with your partner.

I qualified from a well-known Psychodynamic counselling training centre in London and continue to upskill myself through professional development sessions. Some of my clients have said my style is down to earth, understanding and thought provoking. I offer a safe and confidential space for you to be yourself at your own pace. 

If you are coming as a couple I will ask similar questions and more regarding your relationship. This is an opportunity for me to get a sense of who you are and what your presenting problem is. It is also a chance for you to see if I am the right counsellor for you.

Reconnect, Rebuild, and Strengthen Your Relationship

Are you and your partner facing challenges or feeling distant? It's natural for relationships to go through tough times, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. As a Couples therapist I  specialize in providing compassionate and professional couples therapy to help you reconnect, rebuild trust, and strengthen your bond.

Sessions are designed to create a safe space for open communication, healing, and growth. Whether you're struggling with communication issues, trust concerns, or simply feeling disconnected, I'm here to support you in finding clarity and understanding.

Don’t wait for things to get harder. Take the first step toward healing and growth by scheduling a session today..

Couples therapy, also known as marriage counseling or relationship therapy, is a form of psychotherapy that helps couples address challenges in their relationship. It provides a supportive environment where both partners can communicate openly, explore their feelings, and work through conflicts in a healthy and constructive way.

During couples therapy, I aim to  help both individuals gain insight into their relationship dynamics, uncover patterns of behavior, and identify underlying issues that may be contributing to struggles such as communication problems, trust issues, emotional distance, or conflict. I  guide the conversation, ensuring that both partners feel heard and understood while encouraging respectful dialogue and empathy.

The goals of couples therapy can vary depending on the couple's needs, but they typically include:

Improving communication and active listening skills.

Rebuilding trust and repairing emotional bonds.

Resolving conflicts in a more productive way.

Strengthening intimacy and emotional connection.

Navigating life transitions (e.g., marriage, parenthood, relocation) or stressors.

Couples therapy isn’t just for those experiencing major problems; many couples seek therapy to prevent future issues or to enhance their relationship and deepen their connection. Therapy offers tools, strategies, and insights to create a stronger, more fulfilling partnership, fostering mutual understanding and lasting happiness.

Through therapy, couples can develop healthier habits, build resilience, and create a lasting foundation for their relationship.

Each partner will have the chance to express their perspective on the issues they are facing in the relationship. I will listen closely, asking open-ended questions to help both partners articulate their feelings and understand the dynamics at play. I will also ask about the couple’s history, key events that may have influenced their relationship, and how they typically handle conflict.

I aim also help identify patterns of communication or behaviors that might be contributing to stress or disconnection, but the focus will not be on blame. Instead, it’s about fostering understanding and empathy for each other’s feelings and needs. The goal is to build a foundation of trust and openness.

Overall, the first session is about laying the groundwork for positive change, fostering mutual respect, and creating a space for healing and growth in the relationship.

I currently have availability Monday to Friday, daytime I have very limited evening slots so please enquire also. 

Relationships can go through difficult periods, and sometimes the same arguments, misunderstandings and frustrations can leave both partners feeling unheard, disconnected or unsure of how to move forward.

As an experienced Psychodynamic Counsellor, I work with couples to create a safe and supportive space where both partners can be heard. Together, we explore the patterns within your relationship, improve communication and develop a deeper understanding of each other’s needs, feelings and experiences.

Whether you are experiencing ongoing conflict, emotional distance, difficulties with communication, trust issues or simply feel that your relationship has lost its connection, couples therapy can provide an opportunity to pause, understand what is happening and begin to make positive changes.

You don’t have to wait until your relationship is at breaking point. Sometimes, having the right space to talk can be the first step towards reconnecting.

I am qualified with a BACP accredited Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling at Highgate Counselling Centre. I am trained in Couples Therapy via the Tavistock and also The Grove and also trained in Counselling For Depression. 

I offer warm, confidential and non-judgemental counselling for individuals and couples. Using a psychodynamic approach, I help clients explore the thoughts, feelings, experiences and relationship patterns that may be affecting their wellbeing and relationships. I provide a safe space to talk openly, gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, and work towards meaningful and lasting change. I work collaboratively and at your pace, tailoring therapy to your individual needs and circumstances.

For the first session I will ask you questions around your background, friends, family, work, relationships and what is bringing you to counselling. This is so I can get to know you better and get a sense of who you are. 

If you are a couple, coming to counselling I will ask you questions more related to your relationship and reason for attending counselling.
