Eirini Melegkovits Clinical Psychologist London E8Eirini Melegkovits:

Clinical Psychologist (HCPC)

My name is Eirini Melegkovits, and I am a Clinical Psychologist offering sessions online and face-to-face in HQ Dalston.

I hold a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and I have worked in NHS specialist services for the past 5 years. I previously worked in statutory and charity settings abroad, with adults experiencing adversity, as well as adolescents and their parents.

Therapy is the process of healing but also of self-discovery, and while challenging at times it can really set the path to finding purpose, living a life aligned with your values, and being more confident, reflective, and socially connected.

I aim to provide an open, confidential and supportive environment where we will collaboratively create a space that is safe to explore your difficulties, feel heard, and be empowered. Together, we will explore what brought you to therapy and develop goals tailored to your unique needs.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I combine a range of models in my work, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy, family therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, and also draw on contemporary approaches using elements of compassion, mindfulness, and emotion regulation.

Having lived and worked in multicultural settings throughout my career, I value diversity, and in sessions invite clients to consider how experience is shaped by their social and cultural background, such as their ethnicity, race, religion or gender, and sexual identity. I am trained to work with parents, adolescents, and adults/older adults, including those with learning difficulties.

I have previously supported clients facing a range of emotional and social difficulties, including stress, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress and complex trauma, as well as psychosis, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

Therapy may also be helpful in situations where life feels stressful, due to transitions or changes in one’s circumstances, difficulties in families or relationships. Some people may come to therapy to find ways to process and cope with memories or painful emotions related to challenging or traumatic life events, present or in the past.

Drawing from trauma-focused therapy, I aim to support people to find new ways to connect with their experience, explore feelings of shame, distrust, guilt, or powerlessness, and explore ways to reclaim their lives by building on their strengths.

In addition to working clinically, I also conduct research in the NHS on the experience of inpatient services, and the processes underlying the impact of trauma on adult mental health in collaboration with University College London.

I offer a sliding scale with different rates for sessions online vs. face-to-face and operate a number of slots with reduced fees.

Please get in touch via email if you would like to find out more about my practice, and discuss rates and availability for sessions online or face-to-face.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.

Can I Contact You For Advice About Getting Therapy?

Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive therapist can often make you feel better and help you face your problems. It feels good to be listened to and to know that someone cares about you and wants to help. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and can build a trusting relationship to help you make positive changes in your life.
