About Effie

Effie Hicks uses an integrative, relational approach to therapy. She combines Jungian ideas, psychodynamic thinking and mindfulness to help people make sense of painful patterns. Effie writes in plain language and aims to create a down-to-earth space where people can talk honestly about what they are feeling.

Effie has eight years of clinical experience and holds a Masters degree in psychotherapy and healing. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

Her background includes roles in both personal and voluntary settings, where she worked alongside adults and couples. Her practice focuses on everyday struggles such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and problems with sleep or eating.

Additional areas she covers include issues around attachment, abandonment, codependency and body image. In sessions Effie adapts her style to the person in front of her. That can mean looking at early life patterns, using mindfulness exercises to calm the nervous system, or exploring symbolic material from dreams.

She aims to help people spot repeating patterns, try different ways of relating, and build new routines that feel manageable. Effie offers therapy in English and Greek and works with international clients as well as people in the United Kingdom. Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and sessions are offered in several online formats.

Approaches that shape online therapy

Jungian Therapy pays attention to symbols, dreams and the inner stories people carry. It can help when someone feels stuck in repeating patterns or wants to understand the deeper themes behind their feelings.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early relationships and past events shape present habits. It helps people notice recurring ways of reacting and try out different responses in relationships and daily life.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them. Short mindfulness exercises can reduce reactivity and make stressful moments easier to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Effie will discuss what seems to fit best and will try different ways of working with each person. This is a collaborative process based on the client's needs, goals and what feels comfortable for them.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and eye contact. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and text options can be better for short check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking.
