Hello and welcome to Nora Therapia, my online counselling practice.
My official name is Panagiota Klagka but you can call me Nora. I am a professionally qualified integrative counsellor and supervisor with a background in Archaeology and Art History so this site will be a counselling site with a background full of paintings.
Integrative means that I can draw from different therapeutic methods and choose one tailored to your needs. My approach is creative, open and flexible because I believe that just as the context of trauma is individual, so is the process of healing.
Counselling is like a journey full of surprises, it is a journey towards a different future by restoring the past. Can we restore our past? Yes, we can. Our past is written in our bodies, in our feelings and in the way we connect with ourselves and the world. I consider counselling a kind of rebooting : a moment of peace we offer to ourselves in order to clear our data and refresh our operating system. We revisit our past, we identify and restore inaccurate or incomplete data and this way we bring the system to full function or what is called in psychology: fully activated self.
Counselling is non directive which means I am not here to give you advice but nevertheless, I am not going to remain silent during sessions. In my sessions you will be given the chance to focus on yourself and past history but you will not be left alone during the process. I will be there to actively support you.
As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy I abide with their ethical framework which promotes high calibre professional conduct and ensures confidentiality.
