Mario Christou

I provide psychotherapy to individuals at my private practice in Archway. Additionally, I offer these services online.

Prior to psychotherapy, I spent over a decade as a health and fitness practitioner, specialising in physical rehabilitation and pain management.

Driven by a strong interest in psychology and the mind-body connection, I sought more holistic ways to help people which led to me starting a coaching business offering talks, seminars, and workshops to businesses in London, with a focus on stress management and workplace well-being.

I went on to complete my psychotherapy training at the Enfield Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre (ECPS), accredited by the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), which upholds the highest standards of training in the UK.

A significant portion of my work involves assisting men with relationship issues, stress, anxiety disorders, depression and life transitions. While men's mental health is a major focus, my practice is inclusive and diverse, with experience in helping clients from various backgrounds and with a wide range of difficulties.

Psychotherapy helps you navigate your emotional and psychological well-being. It delves deeply into the underlying causes of emotional distress, examining patterns, beliefs, and past experiences that contribute to current struggles.

Psychotherapy typically requires a longer-term commitment, allowing for the exploration of complex issues such as trauma, anxiety disorders, or deep-seated psychological concerns.

This approach contrasts with more immediate, short-term support, as it provides the necessary space and time to address deeply rooted psychological issues. Psychotherapy is tailored to individual needs, promoting healing, personal development, and improved mental well-being.

In our first meeting, I will aim to learn more about your history, current circumstances, and the primary reasons for seeking therapy. This information will help me determine the most suitable next steps for you. 

During this session, you'll also experience what it's like to work with me, providing you with valuable insight into our therapeutic relationship moving forward.
