Oliver A. Katekkou MSc
I am a Licensed Psychologist registered by the Council of Professional Psychologists. I offer in-person and online Psychotherapy and Counseling in both Greek and English, to individuals, families, and couples from all age groups.​
​
As a Counseling Psychologist, I rely on the use of psychotherapeutic techniques and counselling interventions in order to help clients overcome, emotional, interpersonal, social, work, school and physical health issues, which affect their mental health or functioning. I also assess, diagnose and treat more severe mental disorders. My ultimate goal is the increase of well-being, the alleviation of distress, and the personal development of my clients.

As an integrative psychologist, I encompass a variety of therapeutic techniques and interventions from different schools of thought. Through this integrative approach, I tailor the therapeutic process to each client by choosing the best treatment based on a person’s needs, characteristics, and the specific difficulties they’re facing.
