Effie Hicks

Effie Hicks is a psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member and has eight years of experience working with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Effie aims to create a warm, interactive space where people can begin to make changes that matter to them.

Her background includes a Masters degree in psychotherapy and healing and roles in both private and voluntary settings. She uses an integrative approach that blends Jungian, psychodynamic and mindfulness ideas alongside person-centred work. That mix is adjusted to suit each person's needs rather than following a single formula.

Sessions focus on practical problems and deeper personal patterns alike. Effie helps people address sleep and eating difficulties, grief and bereavement, addiction-related concerns, and issues linked to family and parenting. She also works with intimacy-related issues, body image, abandonment and attachment difficulties.

People may bring worries about career stress, compassion fatigue or coping with life changes. Conversations can include dream exploration and inner child work when helpful. The therapist draws on mindful practices and psychodynamic reflection to support insight and small, manageable changes.

Effie offers therapy in English and Greek and accepts international clients. To start, clients use the site's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions according to her schedule.

How Effie's approaches translate to online therapy

Jungian work often involves exploring dreams, symbols and personal stories to uncover recurring themes. Online sessions can offer the same reflective space for dream discussion and imagery work. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus, which can be practised together during a remote meeting and then used between sessions.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns in how people relate and cope. In online sessions this can mean noticing themes that turn up in conversation and in the relationship between client and therapist, then gently working through them over time. Effie treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will discuss what feels most helpful for your goals and preferences rather than imposing one method.

Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the available online or in-person options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into a busy week, reducing travel time, or choosing a shorter check-in when needed. The therapist will work with you to make online appointments practical and to match the approach to your day-to-day life.
