About Phaidra-Polyxeni
Phaidra-Polyxeni (Xenia) Kaspar welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or life changes. She writes simply and directly, and aims to make first sessions calm and practical. Xenia is listed with NCPS, and speaks English, German and Greek.
Xenia draws on everyday language rather than jargon. She listens for what matters most and helps people set small, achievable steps. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals rather than a fixed script.
Background and approach
Her background includes supporting people through grief, trauma and relationship strain. She also has personal experience of neurodiversity and parenting, which informs a practical, understanding approach. Xenia has three years of professional experience and works from the United Kingdom.
In-session she uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-focused work. That means exploring thoughts and behaviours, noticing what matters to you, and looking at patterns in relationships. People can expect straightforward tools for managing anxiety, improving sleep and dealing with loss.
Xenia aims to make each session collaborative so clients leave with clear next steps. She encourages small changes that fit into busy lives. She also offers different session formats so people can choose what fits their routine.
The practical emphasis is on making therapy something that works alongside day-to-day responsibilities.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and changing patterns of behaviour that keep problems going; it is useful for anxiety, sleep difficulties and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns influence the present and can help with intimacy issues, communication problems and patterns of closeness and avoidance.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then test methods together. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as you go, keeping what helps and dropping what does not.
Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and feel more like an in-person meeting. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit quick reflections, notes between sessions or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options aim to make therapy fit around work, family commitments and different time zones.
