Xenia Klitou , NCPS

Xenia Klitou is a counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. She acknowledges how hard it can feel to start therapy and meets each person with respect and compassion. Xenia uses direct, practical conversation to help people make small changes that add up over time.

She adapts sessions to each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all routine. In the room she listens for what matters most and works with clients to set clear, manageable goals. Conversations focus on real-life steps - learning to notice unhelpful thoughts, building routines, and trying different coping strategies between sessions.

Her background includes seven years of professional experience and a NCPS credential. Xenia draws on that experience to support people through difficult transitions and complex emotions. She pays attention to how past relationships and family of origin issues can continue to affect daily life.

Practical concerns such as body image, workplace stress, guilt and shame, and problems with communication are frequently part of the work she does. She also supports women navigating life-stage questions and young adults facing new responsibilities. Sessions are tailored to the individual's pace and goals.

Xenia offers straightforward feedback and collaborative planning. Progress is monitored through small achievable steps rather than grand promises. The aim is to help people find clearer footing and more options for coping as they move forward.

Evidence-led approaches and how they work online

Many effective therapeutic approaches involve learning practical skills and testing small changes in daily life. One common approach focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and boost mood; it teaches simple techniques for spotting thoughts and trying different, more balanced ways of thinking. Another useful method looks at current coping and routines, helping people build steadier daily habits and healthier ways to respond to stress and grief. These approaches are often helpful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what feels most useful based on each person's goals, preferences and situation. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as progress and feedback guide the work.

Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when that feels important, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit short updates, reflective notes, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life and to keep continuity even when routines change.
