ABOUT
I spent most of my career in product and growth before I became a psychotherapist.
For more than 18 years I worked in technology, product and growth. Seven of those years were spent running my own consultancy, where I worked with more than 100 technology companies. I have also worked inside larger organisations and built two startups.
Before psychotherapy
That world is still familiar to me. I spent most of my adult working life around difficult decisions, commercial pressure and people trying to build things in uncertain conditions.
Over time, I became more interested in the parts of those decisions that business language could not explain well such as why someone stays in a role they say they hate, avoids a conversation they know they need to have, or understands a pattern clearly and still repeats it. That interest eventually took me into psychotherapy.
From customer research to clinical work
My previous work involved a lot of customer research and Jobs to be Done interviews.
That trained me to pay attention to sequence: what changed, what happened next and what kept a decision open.
The same discipline is useful in therapy, but the work itself is clinical rather than commercial. The focus is what is happening in a person’s life and what keeps the current pattern in place.

Why my previous career still matters
My previous career was spent in environments where people are judged on output, responsibility is unevenly distributed and apparently simple decisions can have real financial and professional consequences.
That context is useful in therapy because work problems do not need to be translated into generic language before we can discuss them. It also means an external problem can remain an external problem. A difficult manager, a badly designed role or an unstable company may be exactly that.
When the same difficulty keeps appearing across jobs, relationships or decisions, there may be more to understand than the current situation alone.
How I work
My style is goal-oriented and active. The work is direct and collaborative. Questions stay close to what happened, what followed and where the same pattern may be repeating.
Automatic reassurance is not especially useful when it closes the conversation too early. The aim is also not to replace your judgement with the therapist’s. The work should leave you with a clearer understanding of the situation and more room to decide what to do with it.
Who I work with
The practice is focused mainly on men in technology, startups, business and other demanding professional careers. I also work with couples and with Greek-speaking adults who want to work in Greek, English or both.
Professional context matters when it is relevant. It does not determine what therapy has to be about.
