Ioannis Tsiros

Hello, I am Ioannis Tsiros, a Psychologist, Psychotherapist, and Registered Member of the BACP.

My practice is grounded in Post-Existentialism and Critical Psychotherapy. I believe that emotional distress is a profound part of the human condition, not merely a symptom to be categorized or a problem to be mechanically "fixed."

Human experience is complex, and the challenges we face rarely fit into neat boxes. In our work together, we will look beneath the surface of your experiences. Whether you are navigating a specific life crisis, feeling stuck, or engaging in a broader search for meaning, my goal is to help you explore the ambiguities and uncertainties of your life in a way that feels true to you.

What to Expect in Our Sessions

I do not use standardized interventions or checklists. Instead, I provide a collaborative, non-judgmental space where we can thoughtfully explore your unique lived experience. We will work together to uncover your own truth and find a more authentic, grounded way forward.

Because I operate an independent private practice, our therapeutic relationship remains entirely between us. This direct approach ensures that our work is free from the constraints of third-party platforms, keeping the focus strictly on your individual needs and maintaining the highest level of confidentiality.

              In my practice, I work primarily phenomenologically, situating my work within the broader field of post-existential and analytic psychotherapy. My approach is deeply influenced by the thought of Freud, Lacan, Derrida, and Heidegger, as well as by relational psychoanalysis. I consciously move away from pathologizing labels and strict medical models. I believe that human distress is not a sterile diagnosis, but an experience in search of meaning. Therefore, the therapy I offer is grounded in human connection, relational dialogue, and the use of everyday, unpretentious language, steering clear of terminology that often alienates.

               In practice, that means our sessions are collaborative and conversational. I will not hand you a manual. We pay attention to what you bring, how you relate, and what a more honest, freer life might look like for you.

Taking the first step can feel daunting, so the initial consultation is designed to be a collaborative and low-pressure starting point.

Understanding Your World: We will discuss what prompted you to seek support right now and what you hope to achieve through therapy.

Clarifying the Process: I will explain how I work, outline practical considerations (such as confidentiality, session length, and cancellation policies), and answer any questions you have.

Finding the Right Fit: Therapy requires trust. This first meeting is also an opportunity for you to experience my approach and decide together if we are a good fit to work alongside one another.

If you are ready to begin or wish to discuss how we might work together, feel free to reach out to schedule an initial consultation.
