Elena Ierodiaconou
My name is Elena Ierodiaconou and through psychotherapy, I help adults and
teenagers work towards improving their lives, whether it be through thinking more
positively, building healthier relationships, or expressing their emotions more
effectively. As a certified clinical psychologist, I have worked with individuals who have
suffered from anxiety and depressive disorders, personality disorders, substance-abuse
and trauma. This includes persons with intellectual and developmental difficulties.
It all began whilst completing a Bachelors degree in Primary Education at the University
of Brighton. This led me to complete my Bachelors in Psychology and further
accomplish a Masters in Clinical Psychology at the University of Nicosia.
