Therapy in the Netherlands for Expats, Students, and Everyone seeking support!English- and Greek-speaking psychologist in Leiden offering therapy for anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and life transitions.
I am Dimitra, a licensed English- and Greek-speaking NIP psychologist based in Leiden, offering therapy for expats, international students, and professionals living in the Netherlands, both in-person and online.
How Can I HelpPeople often seek therapy when they are struggling with thoughts or feelings such as:-“I feel lonely even though I am surrounded by people”-“I don’t feel like I fully belong anywhere anymore”-“I used to feel more confident, but something has changed”-“I am constantly overthinking or feeling anxious”-“Moving abroad has been harder than I expected”-“My relationships feel more difficult since relocating”You do not need to wait until things feel overwhelming to seek support. Therapy can also be a space for reflection, self-understanding, and personal growth during periods of transition!
I work with clients with difficulties such as:-Anxiety and excessive worrying-Low self-esteem and self-criticism-Stress and burnout-Loneliness and isolation-Relationship difficulties-Adjustment to living abroad-Life transitions and identity questions
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your individual needs. I primarily work within a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) framework, while integrating other evidence-based approaches depending on what is most helpful for you. Therapy is not about giving advice or quick fixes, but about helping you understand yourself, your patterns, and your emotional experiences more deeply.Together, we work at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.

Our Therapy Space in Leiden!
Located in Leidse Hout city forest! A safe space, nestled in green!
How it works:
Start with a free 20-minute video-call to better understand your particular needs and how I can help.
Together, we will set your therapy goals and set a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs!
We will dig deeper into your goals! That can look like:- Identifying patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors- Learning coping tools (e.g., grounding, reframing thoughts)- Practicing new ways of responding to situations- Reflecting on real-life experiences between sessionsRemember: It’s not instant change, it’s gradual and layered. The purpose of therapy is to eventually end, with a stronger, more mindful version of YOU.
