Neliona Moutsou

Hello. A warm welcome and thank you for visiting my profile. I am Neliona, a Trauma and Anxiety therapist based in the city centre of Edinburgh. I would like to start by saying that I have been where you are right now. Anxious, "broken", perhaps very scared and confused with what's happening to you. Battling with my own anxiety and trauma for years, I found great solace and refuge in my own therapeutic process.

I gently invite you to view anything that is going on for you right now as a symptom. Your "bad" mental health, your "brokenness" your endless worry, anxiety, depression, and racing thoughts that won't let you sleep at night are signs that your body and your mind want to heal and they are asking for your attention. They are an invitation for you to live your life in wholeness and prosper. 

What I offer in this process is a safe environment of empathy, acceptance and authenticity where you will be able to explore the roots of your psychological difficulties. A therapeutic relationship that will help you find the tools towards your healing and growth. I work in a Psychodynamic and Person-Centred way and I incorporate inner child work and mindfulness meditation in my sessions.

In my years of experience I have worked with anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, abuse and work related stress. I have had extensive experience in working with anxiety and trauma and have made these two my areas of expertise. In 2021 I completed my training in EMDR Centre London which enables me to provide EMDR trauma therapy to my clients. 

This is the session that will give us the opportunity to see how we "gel" with each other. It will give you the opportunity to feel into whether I am a human you can trust and open up to. If the way I hear you, the questions I ask, the space I create is the right one for you. How comfortable or not you feel in my presence. Choosing the right therapist for you is perhaps one of the most crusial steps in therapy and I would like to encourage you to choose with your whole body, your senses and you intuition. On my part, I will assess if the issues you bring are within my area of competency and I will decide accordingly If I can help you.

For the reasons stated above, I have made the initial session shorted than usual. The initial session lasts 30-40 minutes and the cost attached to it is £30.

Please feel free to bring in the space any questions you may have.
