Christiana Troussa

Available only after therapist-client accordance.

I'm an experienced professional counsellor, and an artist. I'm based in Italy, but I work mainly online with clients from all around the world.

Over the last ten years, I gained experience working in the fields of private education and culture also expanding my knowledge as an EAP counsellor. I work mainly through individual sessions, but In the past I worked also with groups as well as for TV channels.

Due to my mixed origin, I especially enjoy working with Italians or Greeks looking for a psychotherapist with whom they can speak in their native language and share a common cultural background. I offer short-term as well as long-term online counselling in English but also in Italian and Greek, considering that I am a native speaker. 

I'm a volunteer for the Greek/Italian Community of my city, and I lead a cultural project of acting based on the psycho-cathartic qualities of classic Greek theatre. 

I'm formally registered with Assocounselling, CNCP and the "Erba Sacra" holistic counselling centre in Italy, but I'm also an IPHM accredited holistic practitioner.

I hold a MA in Clinical Psychology, a BSC in Psychology and an HND in Counselling

 In my sessions, I use an integrative-holistic approach to treatment, focusing on an authentic and collaborative relationship.

Therapeutic intervention is a very delicate matter that affects a person in terms of body, mind, and spirit. On the other hand, mental health has many faces... psychological problems sometimes resemble a crossroads and other times a moving sand trap. There are too many and different elements to manage and also many hidden and invisible dynamics. 

The real happiness for the individual who wants to embark on the therapeutic journey is to feel someone by their side who is ready to help, who listens attentively, and points out a way out. Behind psychological discomfort can be a thousand blockages, not only emotional but also somatic, energetic, or spiritual. There are no magic solutions, they say, but my opinion is that the word therapy perfectly matches the word collaboration...so the only "magic" solution is that of an authentic therapeutic relationship.

I'm an experienced professional counsellor, and a certified supervisor. I'm based in Italy, but I work mainly online on a global scale.

Over the last ten years, I gained experience working as a private practitioner in different sectors such as education and culture, but as a supervisor I come from a "Seven Eye model" training background that permits me to offer supervision not only in English but also in Italian and Greek, considering that I am a native speaker. Due to my mixed origin, I especially enjoy working with practitioners who are looking for a supervisor with whom they can speak in their native language and share a common cultural background. 

Except of the BACP and IPHM registration in the UK, I'm also accredited with Assocounselling, CNCP and the "Erba Sacra" holistic counselling centre in Italy.

I hold a MA in Clinical Psychology, a BSC in Psychology, an HND in Counselling, and I'm a certified Mindfulness educator, Art therapist and Bioenergetic Analyst.

 I view supervision as an activity that is supportive, exploratory and educative, creating a space where we can discuss anything that impacts your client work.

While being an integrative holistic approach therapist, as a supervisor I tend to use a range of theoretical models to inform my thinking and apply to the material you bring to supervision. 

Feel comfortable enough to bring anything to supervision. This may be directly related to client sessions, but it may also include things that are more personal to you, as I believe that we cannot compartmentalize ourselves. On the other hand, since it is Supervision we are talking about, I will always bring back the discussion to your client wok.

In any case, it is going to be your space, so feel free to use it according to your needs.

Please have also in mind that my work is also supervised, and I adhere to a strict code of ethics.

Depending on my schedule, I'll be glad to offer a free of charge 30-minute initial session on Zoom, Skype or Meet.
