Healing from the body to
the soul
Psychotherapy group
 

Observe ~ Understand ~ Release ~ Heal


Healing starts by nourishing the relationship we have with ourselves and one of the best tools to use is our body. Often we are so estranged with our body we do not understand or even listen to the messages it
sends to us. And the body speaks. All the time!


The body remembers. The body communicates. The body always tells the truth.
We just have to be curious to listen and then learn how to understand it.
This group is for you if:

​

● You have a history of trauma whether it might be emotional, physical or sexual.
● You want to develop your relationship with yourself.
● You want to deepen your self-awareness, better perceive the messages your body sends you and understand what you feel.
● You want to learn some tools and techniques for relaxation, grounding and soothing yourself.
● You have a desire to move along your healing journey.

What will a session look like?
Each session will be starting with an exercise that utilises the body. That might be breathing exercises, guided visualisation, meditation, sensory exercises like light tapping, stomping or clapping, Qi Gong movements, stretches, Yoga positions, body scanning and relaxation.


Following that we will have the opportunity to mindfully process and share the sensations, thoughts and emotions that might have arisen and then we will work on them.


The healing work will sometimes happen on a one to one basis between a member and the therapist while the group members observe and other times we will be working in couples or even small groups, always under the facilitator’s supervision.

Dates & Prices

Session will be held in English
 

Duration: The introductory session will be 1 hour long. Efthymios will explain the treatment process and the members will have the opportunity to ask questions and assess the therapist approach and style. Of course, the purpose for this meeting is primarily for both the members and the therapist to meet, gather information regarding their needs, intentions and expectations and see how they feel about the prospect of working with each other.

Hopefully, a supportive atmosphere will be established, where all participants will feel less alone and more hopeful about their challenges.

About Efthymios Foteinos
Efthymios Foteinos is a Psychotherapist practicing within an Integrative approach and maintains
a private office at Mavili Square in Athens. Following his studies at the National and Kapodistrian
University of Athens (NKUA), he completed a three-year training in Integrative Counselling and
subsequently a four-year training in Integrative Psychotherapy, with an emphasis on the person-centred and existential models of therapy.
After his formal training , he attended numerous seminars (“Addictions and Dependencies,”
“Eating Disorders,” “Grief,” “Depression,” “Dream Interpretation”). With a particular interest in
trauma, abuse, psychosomatic conditions, and the connection between psychology and the
body, he pursued a three-year program in Chinese Medicine at Kingston University of London.
During his studies in the UK, he was a member of the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for
Psychotherapy), maintained a private practice, and contributed articles to English-language journals on mental health.
He has been working in private practice since 2012 and has volunteered for four consecutive
years in a social solidarity and psychological support network. He is a member of the European
Association for Psychotherapy (EAP) and the Hellenic National Psychotherapy Association (ΕΕΨΕ).
In 2024 he had the honor of being one of the 120 graduates worldwide and the only one in
Greece, of the intense Mentorship program for Classical Chinese Medicine and its 68 Channels
under the teaching of Ann Cecil-Sterman, who is a long-term student of Master Jeffrey Yuen.
His approach focuses on providing effective care perfectly adapted to each one’s needs, with the
ultimate goal being to restore health not in a temporary manner but totally and in depth. To
achieve that, he likes to work with the person and not the problem, focusing on the cause and not
the symptom, utilizing Psychotherapy, Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.
