About Katerina Kotsifakou

My name is Katerina Kotsifakou. I am a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, and group analyst with over 25 years of experience accompanying people through phases of change, emotional transformation, and inner growth.

In my private practice in Kolonaki (Athens), I work both individually and in groups, offering therapeutic spaces where the psyche can speak — or simply be, in silence.

Rooted in theory but led by human presence and relationship, my approach focuses on restoring inner coherence, exploring meaning, and navigating emotional complexity.

In recent years, I’ve also been writing articles, short stories, and psychological tales for children and adults — all centered around care, connection, and the subtle work of self-awareness.

Individual and Group Psychotherapy in Kolonaki, Athens

Katerina offers both individual psychotherapy and group therapy from her practice in Kolonaki. Individual sessions provide a private, confidential space to explore personal experiences, relationships and emotional patterns at your own pace.

Group therapy, informed by her training as a group analyst, offers a different kind of setting: a small group in which members can explore how they relate to others, feel heard, and learn from one another’s experiences.

A Psychoanalytic Approach Led by the Therapeutic Relationship

Her work is grounded in psychoanalytic theory, yet guided above all by the relationship between therapist and client. Rather than offering quick fixes, therapy with Katerina Kotsifakou focuses on understanding what lies beneath a difficulty, restoring a sense of inner coherence, exploring meaning and making room for complex or conflicting emotions.

People often seek this kind of support during life transitions, periods of emotional strain, difficulties in relationships, or simply when they feel the need to understand themselves more deeply.

Articles, Stories and Psychological Tales

Alongside her clinical work, Katerina writes articles, short stories and psychological tales for children and adults. Her writing reflects the same themes as her practice: care, human connection and the quiet, ongoing work of self-awareness.

Κατερίνα Κοτσιφάκου – Κλινική Ψυχολόγος & Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια στο Κολωνάκι

Ονομάζομαι Κατερίνα Κοτσιφάκου. Είμαι κλινική ψυχολόγος, ψυχοθεραπεύτρια και ομαδική αναλύτρια με πολυετή εμπειρία στην υποστήριξη ανθρώπων σε φάσεις αλλαγής, εσωτερικής αναζήτησης και συναισθηματικής μετάβασης.

Στο γραφείο μου στο Κολωνάκι και μέσα από την ομαδική και ατομική ψυχοθεραπεία, δημιουργούμε μαζί χώρους όπου η ψυχική ζωή μπορεί να αποκτήσει φωνή — ή και σιωπή, όταν χρειάζεται.

Με αφετηρία τη θεωρία αλλά με οδηγό τη σχέση, εστιάζω στην ενδυνάμωση της εσωτερικής συνοχής, στην αναγνώριση του νοήματος και στην κατανόηση των εσωτερικών συγκρούσεων.

Τα τελευταία χρόνια γράφω άρθρα, μικρές ιστορίες και παραμύθια για παιδιά και ενήλικες, με θεματικές γύρω από τις ανθρώπινες σχέσεις, την ψυχολογική φροντίδα και την προσωπική πορεία.
