Effie Hicks

Effie Hicks is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She holds a Masters degree in psychotherapy and healing and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Effie aims to create a warm, interactive space where people can talk about what matters to them and begin to make changes.

Her approach draws on Jungian, psychodynamic and mindfulness ideas, blended with person-centred practice. Sessions are tailored to the individual so they meet each person’s needs. Effie describes her style as friendly and supportive, with an emphasis on understanding patterns and building new ways of coping.

She has eight years' experience working in both private and voluntary settings. That time includes work with adults, couples and children in counselling and psychotherapy roles. Effie also brings perspectives from having been a therapy client herself, which informs how she supports others through difficult steps.

Areas she commonly helps with include anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and food-related concerns, sleep problems, grief and trauma. She also addresses body image, attachment and family of origin issues, codependency and communication difficulties.

Effie works with people from different backgrounds and offers sessions in English and Greek. Prospective clients can start by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to book according to therapist availability.

How Jungian, Mindfulness and Psychodynamic Ideas Work Online

Jungian-informed work looks at symbols, dreams and recurring life patterns to help people understand deeper themes shaping their feelings and choices. It can be useful for people curious about meaning, identity and long-standing patterns.

Mindfulness therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. It is practical for managing anxiety, stress, sleep problems and helping with self-esteem and eating-related struggles.

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past relationships and early experiences influence current reactions and relationships. It helps when someone wants to understand why they repeat certain behaviours or feel stuck emotionally.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Effie will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which ideas to use and how to adapt them for each person’s situation.

If you are considering online options, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins during a work break or at the end of the day. They also let people access a therapist who speaks English or Greek even if they live elsewhere.
