Angelika Vraka

Integrative Counsellor Psychotherapist

MA Psychoanalysis, MBACP, UKCP, ACTO, EAC 

Pronouns: She/Her

As an integrative counsellor, I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all method. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches—including psychodynamic, person-centred, and trauma-informed models—to help you explore both present challenges and past experiences that may still be shaping your thoughts, feelings, and relationships today.

At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I believe that being truly heard, understood, and accepted can be deeply healing. Our sessions will offer you a safe, compassionate, and confidential space to reflect, gain insight, and make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface.

I offer both short-term focused work and open-ended therapy, depending on what you’re looking for. Whether you need support through a difficult life event or want to explore deeper emotional patterns, I’ll adapt my approach to suit your goals and pace.

I work online, which means you can access therapy from wherever you are. Many clients find this convenient and appreciate being able to talk from the comfort and privacy of their own space.

About Me

I offer a warm, professional and integrative approach, creating a safe and confidential space for clients to explore difficulties at their own pace. I have extensive experience supporting workplace stress, anxiety and relationship issues, and I work with both short-term and longer-term clients.
