About Effie

Counsellor and BACP member with eight years' experience, based in the United Kingdom. Effie Hicks helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strains and a wide range of personal and family concerns using Jungian, psychodynamic and mindfulness-informed approaches.

Effie combines elements from Jungian therapy, psychodynamic work and mindfulness in sessions. She aims to help people notice patterns from their past, look at dreams and inner imagery, and develop practical ways to manage stress and difficult feelings. Sessions are conversational and reflective, with a focus on understanding what keeps problems repeating.

Clients can bring issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleep difficulties, or struggles with intimacy and self-esteem. Effie also works with concerns around parenting, blended family problems, communication and commitment issues, and career or life transitions. The writing lists many related themes she attends to, including abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and body image worries.

Her background includes a Masters degree in psychotherapy and healing and experience in both private and voluntary sectors. The BACP credential is recorded as BACP. Effie has worked with adults and has mentioned experience with couples and children in prior roles; readers should note session arrangements and scope are determined in assessment conversations.

Sessions are offered in English and Greek. For international clients, arrangements can be discussed. To begin, clients use the site matching process to schedule an initial session and talk through practical steps and goals.

How Jungian, Psychodynamic and Mindfulness approaches work online

Jungian therapy explores imagery, symbols and dreams to help people understand recurring themes in their life. Online sessions can support dream discussion and reflective work that looks at personal meaning and long-standing patterns.

Psychodynamic work focuses on recognising patterns that come from earlier relationships and how they show up now. Online conversations can track interpersonal themes and provide a space to notice repeated reactions and relational expectations.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and body-awareness exercises to reduce immediate stress and increase calm. These techniques can be practised in-session and then used between meetings to manage anxiety and sleep problems.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt the plan as work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to support people who live in different regions or who prefer not to travel.
