About Effie
Effie Hicks works from a Jungian and psychodynamic perspective combined with mindfulness. She introduces these ways of working in a calm, approachable manner. Effie is a BACP member with eight years' experience in counselling and psychotherapy across personal and voluntary settings.
She offers short- and longer-term work for adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, addictions, body image and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Additional areas of focus include parenting strains, sleep and eating difficulties, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Sessions aim to be warm and interactive. Effie uses Jungian ideas about symbols and dreams alongside psychodynamic thinking about past relationships and patterns.
Mindfulness is woven in to help calm the nervous system and bring attention into present experience. People meet a therapist who adapts sessions to each person’s needs. The work might include talking, reflecting on dreams, noticing bodily sensations, or practising simple mindfulness exercises.
Effie emphasises understanding how past experiences shape current choices and feelings. She is comfortable working in English and Greek and with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Practical details such as session format and scheduling are arranged at the start, and she supports people as they decide the length and pace of therapy.

Online support
Online Jungian and Mindfulness-informed therapy options
Effie blends Jungian and psychodynamic ideas with mindfulness in online work. Jungian-informed work pays attention to symbols, dreams and personal myths to help people understand deeper patterns. Psychodynamic approaches look at how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. Mindfulness practices are used to ground attention and manage stress and anxiety.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest ways of working that suit the person. That might mean trying a few techniques early on and adapting as the relationship develops.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when a video connection is not possible or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins, people on the move, or those who prefer writing over speaking. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work itself.
