In the therapy room, Dr Sgoumpopoulou brings a warm, collaborative, and highly individualised approach.

Dr Sgoumpopoulou adopts an integrative therapeutic style; thoughtfully combining therapy models bespoke to her client’s individual needs.
All clinicians at The Chelsea Psychology Clinic are trained to conduct comprehensive assessments, considering you as a whole person rather than a specific issue. They tailor treatment and integrate multiple therapeutic perspectives to create a plan that is both evidence-based and uniquely suited to you.

Whatever someone is struggling with, Dr Sgoumpopoulou aims to offer support that recognises and respects their unique needs and experiences.
