Mina Arvanitopoulou

Principal Clinical Psychologist

I am an accredited Chartered Clinical Psychologist with more than 17 years of experience working in the NHS and privately, helping my clients overcome their difficulties in a compassionate and non-judgmental way. I am a member of the British Psychological Society and I am registered as a Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council, working to the highest standards of conduct, performance and ethics.

Since 2007,  I have worked in both mental health and physical health services in the NHS for children, adolescents and adults. During my career I have led Clinical Health Psychology Services for adults experiencing cardiac and other long term conditions. My wish to live a life full of experiences and my passion for psychology, have led me to participate in many different services and gain a wide experience in various psychological difficulties, supporting my clients with low mood, anxiety, stress, trauma, loss, adjustment issues, lack of confidence, sleep difficulties, anger and many other difficulties. Currently, I work as a Lead Clinical Psychologist for Cardiology at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.

In my private practice, I see mainly adults and I offer short or longer term therapeutic input, depending on your needs. My approach is integrative and always tailored to individual needs. This means that I can draw from many different therapeutic models and my experience allows me to be flexible and use the model that is right for you, ensuring that therapy is a positive and creative experience for you, delivered in a professional and supportive manner.

Having the privilege of having worked with thousands of clients in my career both privately and in the NHS, has helped me appreciate and respect each and everyone’s individual circumstances and needs, understand and connect with my clients and offer them a meaningful therapeutic experience. I have a very empathetic, non-judgmental and respectful approach and I am passionate in helping my clients reach their full potential. This is done always in collaboration with them, often encouraging my clients to challenge themselves while they also feel safe, supported and well looked after in this journey.
