Phaidra-Polyxeni (Xenia) Kaspar, NCPS

Phaidra-Polyxeni (Xenia) Kaspar helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She greets clients with warmth and practical guidance. Xenia explains things plainly and focuses on what can change now rather than on jargon or labels.

She tailors sessions to each person’s needs and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Sessions are presented as a collaborative effort where goals are agreed and progress is checked regularly. Xenia draws on a mix of approaches to suit different problems and personalities.

Xenia holds NCPS as a credential and has three years of clinical experience. She speaks English, German and Greek and practises from the United Kingdom. Her background includes work with stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction and grief among other concerns.

Practical matters are addressed in session - improving sleep, managing anger, sorting career stress or coping with caregiving demands. She also supports people dealing with attachment or abandonment worries and the emotional impact of chronic illness. The emphasis is on useful skills and clearer thinking.

Outside the therapy room she is a single parent and draws on personal life experience when empathising with clients. Xenia encourages people to take the first step and offers straightforward guidance on how to begin therapy and what to expect along the way.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps towards those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical techniques to shift them; it often helps with depression, sleep problems and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how past relationship patterns affect current connections and trust, helping people improve intimacy and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for longer conversations and visual cues. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is low or for a focused check-in. Live chat or text messaging can suit short updates, brief coaching or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caring duties or travel, and offer a range of ways to stay connected between sessions.
