Chrysoula Chlomisiou, BACP

Chrysoula Chlomisiou is a qualified psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist with a training pathway that began in 2008. She completed a BSc in Psychology at the University of Manchester, a broad-based program in the United Kingdom that prepares practitioners to work with diverse psychological needs. She went on to earn a Master’s degree in Psychology of Child Development and completed a UK-based counselling training in psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy at the University of Leicester. These postgraduate trainings involved extended periods of personal therapy, supervised clinical practice and hands-on work with a wide range of psychological difficulties.

Across her training and clinical practice Chrysoula has developed experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and mood challenges, addictions and eating and sleeping concerns. Her practice also addresses parenting and caregiver stress, attachment and adoption-related issues, communication and family problems, and life transitions including separation and fertility-related concerns. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and adheres to its standards of practice and ethics.

Chrysoula combines academic training with supervised clinical experience to offer psychodynamic work that aims to explore underlying patterns, emotional experience and relational themes to support meaningful change.

Psychodynamic approaches and online sessions

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on exploring the emotional patterns and early relationships that shape present difficulties. It helps people uncover recurring themes in their feelings and behaviour, which can be useful for issues such as relationship struggles, attachment difficulties and long-standing mood or self-esteem concerns.

Psychodynamic counselling offers a conversational space to reflect on inner experience and interpersonal dynamics over time. This approach can support people working through grief, trauma-related reactions, caregiving stress and transitions by attending to underlying emotional meanings rather than only immediate symptoms.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Chrysoula will collaborate with each client to identify the best fit based on needs, goals and personal preferences, adjusting the pace and focus as therapy progresses.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging provides practical flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions and to engage in therapy from familiar surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists experienced in psychodynamic approaches.
