About Effie
Effie Hicks is a psychotherapist with eight years of clinical experience. She holds a Masters in psychotherapy and healing and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Effie offers a warm, interactive style that aims to help people who are feeling anxious, stressed, depressed or overwhelmed by life changes.
Her approach blends Jungian ideas, psychodynamic thinking and mindfulness alongside person-centred principles. Sessions are adapted to each person so they suit what the individual needs and prefers.
Background and approach
That practical flexibility is useful for issues such as anxiety, sleep and self-esteem. Effie has worked in both personal and voluntary settings. She has experience supporting people around relationship strain, grief, trauma and addictions, as well as concerns about body image and eating.
She also works with intimacy-related and sexual concerns and supports those dealing with career stress and compassion fatigue. Additional areas Effie addresses include attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and family of origin problems. She integrates dream work and inner child work when helpful, and can include play-based approaches when working with children.
Sessions are offered in English and Greek and are available to people inside and outside the United Kingdom. Effie uses a subscription model for session bookings that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that adapt to you
Effie uses Jungian therapy to look at dreams, symbols and deeper personal themes that can help make sense of recurring feelings and patterns. That approach can be useful for people curious about meaning, identity and long-standing emotional patterns.Mindfulness therapy in her work focuses on simple attention and breathing practices alongside gentle reflection. It helps people manage anxiety, sleeping problems and stress by teaching ways to notice and respond rather than react.
Psychodynamic therapy explores how past relationships and early experiences shape current reactions. This can help when attachment wounds, abandonment or family of origin issues are affecting day-to-day life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Effie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and as new priorities emerge.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people write between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family duties and travel while keeping the focus on the therapeutic relationship and progress.
