Dr Stagaki first began her training with a BSc in Psychology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, before completing an MSc in Clinical Mental Health Sciences at University College London and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy) at King’s College London. Her path has taken her through NHS and private services, supporting children, young people, and adults, which has shaped the way she now works with clients.
In the therapy room, Dr Stagaki brings an integrative and relational approach. She draws on training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy, Systemic Family Therapy (SFT), Schema Therapy (ST) and body-based approaches such as Embodied Psychotherapy and Dance Movement Therapy. Her approach focuses on how past experiences, relationship patterns, and embodied processes shape present difficulties.
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.
Dr Stagaki works with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Personality Disorders, Psychosomatic Issues, ADHD, and Adjustment Difficulties/Disorder/Illness, and has specialist experience in Complex Trauma, Relational Difficulties, Psychosomatic Symptoms, Migration and Cultural Transitions, Abusive Relationships, Long-Term Psychodynamic and Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy, and supporting individuals adjusting to life-threatening health conditions.
Alongside her clinical work, Dr Stagaki has research expertise in mentalising, attachment, childhood trauma, and psychosomatic symptoms, and has published in collaboration with the UCL Anna Freud Centre and Professor Peter Fonagy.
She offers therapy in both English and Greek.
