Therapy in the Netherlands for Expats, Students, Couples, New Moms & Moms-to-be, and Parents!
English- and Greek-speaking psychologist in Leiden & online, offering therapy!
I am Dimitra, a licensed English- and Greek-speaking NIP psychologist based in Leiden!I welcome neurodivergent clients, including people with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence. Therapy is tailored to your individual needs, experiences, and ways of processing the world, rather than expecting you to fit into a particular standard!
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-Life transitions and identity questions-Perinatal-period stress-Pregnancy loss & grief-Low self-esteem and self-criticism-Trauma-Stress and burnout-Loneliness and isolation-Relationship difficulties-Adjustment to living abroad- Parent Therapy
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.

  • The sessions are conducted in-person in Leiden, at Groene Maredijk 100, 2334 CT Leiden, and online. Online therapy sessions are conducted through a secure, GDPR-compliant platform designed to protect your privacy and confidentiality. 

  • Individual Sessions: The practice is currently accepting new clients!No waiting time at the moment!Couples Sessions: The waiting time is approximately 3 months. You can join the waiting list by contacting me here.

  • No. I am not collaborating with any Dutch Health insurance at the moment.

    However, I keep my rates affordable so that more people can access the support they need.

  • Finding a psychologist is a highly personal process, because therapy is an interaction! It is nice to consider what approach would fit your needs better (e.g., CBT, Systemic, Psychoanalytical etc)., and search online for psychologists in your area of interest. Through Websites, you can usually get a basic idea of their approach and areas of expertise!Most psychologists offer a free, short consultation, which can offer a nice way to "check" if it felt trusted, safe and comfortable to talk to them!
    On a more practical level, it is very important to ensure that the psychologist you are working with holds advanced degrees and is properly registered with a respected board or licensing body [e.g., NIP for The Netherlands, etc]. *You can also ask them to provide you with licensure information! You have every right to ensure their professional accreditation!
    Keep in mind: Some people don’t find the right psychologist the first time! If this happens to you - it is not your fault. You have already decided you would benefit from therapy, so it is worth trying again and booking an appointment with another psychologist.

  • Therapy is an investment in ourselves - the greatest gift to our future versions.
    However, I stand by the opinion that therapy should be accessible to everyone, and that is the reason I keep my fees affordable. The rates are; 100 euros per session (45 mins) for individual sessions, and 160 euros per session (55 mins) for couples sessions.
    *The prices do not change for existing clients.
    *Reduced rates are available for students, unemployed and individuals with low incomes.

  • Yes. You can cancel/change the date of your appointment free of charge up to 24 hours before it.
