My name is Katerina Nikolakopoulou, I am from a city in the north of Greece, called Thessaloniki and after spending 9 years studying and working in Amsterdam, I am currently living in Athens. I am a licenced psychologistcand a member of the Association of Greek Psychologists, I hold a BSc degree in Psychology from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece and a MSc in Cognitive Neuropsychology from the Vrije Universiteit van Amsterdam.
I have had hands on clinical experience in the field of psychology since 2005 and have worked in the field of Neuropsychology since 2012. I started running my own practice in Amsterdam in 2015 and moved to Athens to continue with my clinical work. In the past, I held an instructor’s position at the Webster Campus in Leiden, where I tought undergraduate psychology students. I have also worked in the research field on subjects such as the biological and psychological correlates of sleep in collaboration with the chronobiologist Dr Floor van Oosterhout and the neurologist Dr Hans Hamburger.
With a strong experience in psychotherapy, counseling, sleep therapy, systemic psychotherapy and research I help people who are looking for professional support to deal with every-day psychological challenges.
I believe that everyone is able to overcome any problem when they have the proper tools and knowledge, and I am here to provide exactly that! Each person is unique and the most important part of the therapy is to provide you with sufficient information, knowledge and useful tools to enhance your understanding about yourself and how your upbringing might have contibutted to who you are at this moment.
