Phaidra-Polyxeni (Xenia) Kaspar is a credentialled counsellor based in the South of the United Kingdom who brings practical experience and personal insight to her work. She holds the NCPS credential - a professional counselling qualification - and combines training with lived experience of trauma, grief, and neurodiversity to inform a sensitive, empathetic approach.

As a single mother of three teenage daughters and an adult son, she understands the complexities of family life and the pressures of juggling multiple roles while managing emotional challenges. She works with individuals, couples, and groups, and facilitates Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Non Violent Resistance group sessions. She also works as a counselling tutor, supporting others in their professional development.

Her clinical focus includes helping people with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, addictions, and a range of other concerns such as sleep problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, and career transitions. She is experienced supporting those facing complex combinations of issues and long-term pressures.

Sessions are tailored to each client’s needs and values, with a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate style. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, working with clients as a team to identify goals and practical steps. She also provides services in English, German, and Greek, and works with international clients.

Approaches to Therapy and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take small, values-driven steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions by increasing psychological flexibility and purposeful action.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current emotional responses and interpersonal dynamics. This approach can support work on relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, intimacy issues, and family conflicts by strengthening emotional awareness and connection.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is effective for intense emotions, self-destructive patterns, and relationship challenges, and is offered by the therapist both individually and in group formats.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - she will collaborate with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt the work over time. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily life. These options increase accessibility for people living abroad or with mobility or time constraints, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-focused care.
