Ms Elena Miari

Counselor

“I am an Existential and Humanistic Psychotherapist, working with teenagers and young people. I specialise in Disordered Eating, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Relational Difficulties and Existential questions. I practice from Blackheath, SE London and virtually.”

About Me

I am an Existential and Humanistic Psychotherapist, guiding teenagers and young people. We can explore challenging feelings such as anxiety, depression, or disordered eating. I also help young people navigate relational difficulties. We can make sense of ADHD or deeper existential questions together. My aim is to create a safe, collaborative space. Here, you can find your voice and build resilience, understanding yourself better.

Approach

When troubling thoughts or eating patterns surface, I offer a steady, curious presence that helps you map what’s happening and try out small, manageable shifts. I work from Blackheath, SE London and online, and can speak English or Greek to suit your comfort. Sessions are paced to match how you think and feel—sometimes reflective and slow, sometimes practical with short tasks between meetings—to help with anxiety, ADHD traits, grief or relational strain. This way of working often suits young people seeking clarity and steadier footing.
