Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I approach my practice with the basic premise that we act the way we do for a reason. I believe that our past experiences, good and not so good, drive our current behaviour. If we can delve into that and figure out why we act and react the way we do, then we can potentially change some of our problematic behaviour.
I have three degrees, all focussed on human behaviour – one in psychology and two in counselling. I tend to use a person-centred approach in my practice, although I’m open to any technique that the client may benefit from. I have worked as a relationship counsellor in the past. I currently work supporting parents and caregivers of children who are separating / separated in making that transition as painless as possible, primarily by focussing on communication, anger, and stress.
I have also worked with clients who have experienced trauma and domestic violence. I have worked with perpetrators of domestic violence by supporting them to understand why they act the way they do. I have personal and professional experience in grief and loss as well.
I approach each new client with the same thought, you are a human being just like everyone else – not good or bad, just human. Oftentimes, people’s experiences (especially as children), will determine how we are as adults. I often think ‘how would I have turned out if this had happened to me?’ This approach ensures I don’t judge behaviour which may be problematic.

Theodore Eleftheriou works from the basic premise that people act the way they do for reasons rooted in their life story. He holds that past experiences – both positive and difficult – shape current behaviour, and that exploring those influences can create opportunities to change unhelpful patterns.
He holds three degrees focused on human behaviour: one in psychology and two in counselling. His practice is primarily person-centred, while remaining open to any therapeutic technique that could benefit a client. He has worked previously as a relationship counsellor and now focuses on supporting parents and caregivers of children who are separating or separated, aiming to ease that transition by concentrating on communication, anger, and stress.
Theodore has experience working with people who have experienced trauma and domestic violence, and he has supported perpetrators of domestic violence to understand why they behave as they do. He also brings both personal and professional experience with grief and loss to his work with clients.
He approaches each new client with the same thought – you are a human being, not good or bad, simply human. He often reflects on how early experiences, particularly in childhood, influence adult behaviour, and this perspective helps him avoid judging behaviour that may be problematic.
