Aphrodite Vasili

I have availability Mondays, Tuesday, Thursdays and Fridays.

Would you like to change the way you feel sometimes, or be able to handle certain situations better? Perhaps your relationship has come to a stale mate and you need somewhere to explore your feelings and thoughts?

I have helped people with

• anxiety/stress,

• relationship issues,

• depression,

• suicidal thoughts,

• work and family conflicts,

• loneliness,

• trauma and much more.

I am trained in Couples Therapy should you wish to explore this avenue with your partner.

I qualified from a well-known Psychodynamic counselling training centre in London and continue to upskill myself through professional development sessions. Some of my clients have said my style is down to earth, understanding and thought provoking. I offer a safe and confidential space for you to be yourself at your own pace. 

I have a cosy room in Enfield Town for face to face sessions or can offer online session if you prefer. I have been practising for over 5 years in my private practice seeing individuals and couples. 

I offer an initial assessment for your first session, where I will ask questions regarding your upbringing, family, work, relationships and any significant events in your life. If you are coming as a couple I will ask similar questions and more regarding your relationship. This is an opportunity for me to get a sense of who you are and what your presenting problem is. It is also a chance for you to see if I am the right counsellor for you.

Reconnect, Rebuild, and Strengthen Your Relationship

Are you and your partner facing challenges or feeling distant? It's natural for relationships to go through tough times, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. As a Couples therapist I  specialize in providing compassionate and professional couples therapy to help you reconnect, rebuild trust, and strengthen your bond.

Sessions are designed to create a safe space for open communication, healing, and growth. Whether you're struggling with communication issues, trust concerns, or simply feeling disconnected, I'm here to support you in finding clarity and understanding.

Don’t wait for things to get harder. Take the first step toward healing and growth by scheduling a session today..

Couples therapy, also known as marriage counseling or relationship therapy, is a form of psychotherapy that helps couples address challenges in their relationship. It provides a supportive environment where both partners can communicate openly, explore their feelings, and work through conflicts in a healthy and constructive way.

During couples therapy, I aim to  help both individuals gain insight into their relationship dynamics, uncover patterns of behavior, and identify underlying issues that may be contributing to struggles such as communication problems, trust issues, emotional distance, or conflict. I  guide the conversation, ensuring that both partners feel heard and understood while encouraging respectful dialogue and empathy.

The goals of couples therapy can vary depending on the couple's needs, but they typically include:

Improving communication and active listening skills.

Rebuilding trust and repairing emotional bonds.

Resolving conflicts in a more productive way.

Strengthening intimacy and emotional connection.

Navigating life transitions (e.g., marriage, parenthood, relocation) or stressors.

Couples therapy isn’t just for those experiencing major problems; many couples seek therapy to prevent future issues or to enhance their relationship and deepen their connection. Therapy offers tools, strategies, and insights to create a stronger, more fulfilling partnership, fostering mutual understanding and lasting happiness.

Through therapy, couples can develop healthier habits, build resilience, and create a lasting foundation for their relationship.

Each partner will have the chance to express their perspective on the issues they are facing in the relationship. I will listen closely, asking open-ended questions to help both partners articulate their feelings and understand the dynamics at play. I will also ask about the couple’s history, key events that may have influenced their relationship, and how they typically handle conflict.

I aim also help identify patterns of communication or behaviors that might be contributing to stress or disconnection, but the focus will not be on blame. Instead, it’s about fostering understanding and empathy for each other’s feelings and needs. The goal is to build a foundation of trust and openness.

Overall, the first session is about laying the groundwork for positive change, fostering mutual respect, and creating a space for healing and growth in the relationship.

I currently have availability Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays daytime. I have very limited evening slots so please enquire also. 

Counselling is an open space to take a moment to pause and reflect. It is a regular time slot which you have for yourself with a counsellor to talk about anything which is causing you concern. Together we will explore your thoughts, emotions and make sense of what sometimes can feel like a huge mess. Psychodynamic counselling is a style of counselling I am trained in, which explores your past experiences and how they impact on your behaviour today.

Being in counselling is a commitment to yourself to face those difficult emotions and really get to understand your lifes choices and the impact. 

I am an open-minded person who enjoys helping people through life’s challenges. I have previously worked in HR for many years and have a great understanding of the challenges work life can bring to the table. I have supported clients who have anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, relationship concerns, bipolar disorder, and low self-esteem.

I am qualified with a BACP accredited Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling at Highgate Counselling Centre. I am trained in Couples Therapy via the Tavistock and also The Grove and also trained in Counselling For Depression. 

I have been practising for over 5 years seeing adults and couples. I have a cosy room where you can have a face to face session or if its easier I can do online sessions. 

 I offer both short term and long-term counselling, depending on what your presenting problems are. Rest assured I work towards the BACP ethical code of practice.

For the first session I will ask you questions around your background, friends, family, work, relationships and what is bringing you to counselling. This is so I can get to know you better and get a sense of who you are. 

If you are a couple, coming to counselling I will ask you questions more related to your relationship and reason for attending counselling.
