Polyxeni Eleftherotria Rari
I am a clinical integrative psychotherapist in training based in Belgium and a psychologist licensed in Greece, offering online therapy at a reduced rate to adults.
My academic and professional background includes studies in Psychology (BSc) in Cyprus and Developmental Psychology (MSc) in the Netherlands. Continuing my life-long training, I am currently following my specialization in Clinical Integrative Psychotherapy.
Alongside my academic training, I have clinical experience in supporting people experiencing stress, grief, substance use disorder and behavioural addiction, ADHD, emotional difficulties, trauma, dementia and life transitions. These experiences have shaped my compassionate approach in my therapeutic work navigating through change, life abroad, belonging, personal growth, and emotional challenges that come with life transitions. As someone who has lived, studied and worked across different countries and cultural environments, I recognise how enriching but also how emotionally demanding, with hidden emotional challenges, living abroad can be.
The therapeutic work I provide is grounded in integrative psychotherapy with a person-centred approach. I see therapy as a dynamic and collaborative space where the therapeutic relationship is vital of our work together. Therapy begins with free expression and unconditional acceptance. I aim to offer a space that is safe, open and free from judgement, where any experiences, emotions, and thoughts can be explored freely. I see therapy as a space for deeper self-exploration, emotional resilience, greater self-acceptance and meaningful changes.
Together, we can explore whatever you wish to bring to the therapeutic space, whether that involves navigating change, personal relationships, living abroad, stress, loss, emotional difficulties, questions of identity and belonging, addictive behaviours, or simply making sense of experiences that feel heavy to carry alone, and work towards a more compassionate, caring and trusting relationship with yourself.
