Mr Ioannis Minadakis

Family Therapist

“Private, affordable and convenient family therapist. Proven therapies.”

About Me

I help families strengthen bonds and navigate life's complexities. My practice offers proven therapies, providing practical strategies tailored to your unique situation. As a private therapist, I aim to make support affordable and convenient. This approach ensures effective guidance is readily accessible for families seeking clear ways forward. We can work together to foster understanding where every voice feels heard and valued.

Approach

Sessions start with clear, practical goals that fit your family's rhythm and respect time and resources, so progress feels tangible from the first weeks. Meeting in Heraklion, I offer appointments in English or Greek and keep sessions focused and paced to your needs, with assessments and check-ins that guide next steps. Between meetings you’ll try small, measurable changes—tools for managing anxiety, anger or chronic illness stress—and we review what helps. This approach tends to suit families and individuals seeking straightforward, doable change.
