Chrysoula Chlomisiou , BACP

Chrysoula Chlomisiou is a qualified psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom. Her formal training began in 2008 with a BSc in Psychology from the University of Manchester, a broad programme that prepares practitioners to support people with a variety of concerns and life stages.

She subsequently completed two postgraduate qualifications at master’s level: a Master’s degree in Psychology of child development and a UK-based counselling training in psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy at the University of Leicester. These programmes included extensive personal therapy, supervised clinical practice, and direct work with people facing diverse psychological difficulties.

Chrysoula is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional body that sets standards for practice and ethics. Her clinical interests span relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and anger, as well as conditions such as bipolar disorder and ADHD. She also works with issues connected to adoption and foster care, attachment, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems and family dynamics.

Drawing on psychodynamic training alongside developmental knowledge, Chrysoula helps clients explore underlying patterns, emotional experiences and early influences that contribute to current difficulties, supporting work toward greater insight and more adaptive ways of relating.

Psychodynamic approaches and flexible online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy explores how past relationships, early experiences and unconscious patterns influence present feelings and behaviours. It helps people understand recurring difficulties, make sense of strong emotions and change long-standing ways of relating to themselves and others.

Chrysoula's background in child development complements psychodynamic work by offering insight into how developmental stages and attachment experiences shape current challenges, which can be particularly helpful for parents, adoptees and those working through family-of-origin issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chrysoula works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus over time as therapeutic priorities evolve.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical benefits - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit differing schedules and comfort levels. These options increase accessibility and flexibility, making it easier to maintain regular contact with a therapist while fitting therapy around work, family and other commitments.
