Daphne Georghiou, MFT

At Daphne Georghiou's Psychotherapy & Counselling, we believe that every individual has the capacity to live their full potential as a human being. Our mission is to empower our clients to deepen their self-awareness, overcome past traumas, and cultivate meaningful relationships. As a seasoned psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, I, Daphne Georghiou, have developed a unique approach to therapy that blends traditional counselling techniques with progressive, somatic, and holistic methodologies.

My Journey

As a multicultural individual, I have always been drawn to exploring the complexities of human experience. Growing up in a small Greek island and later moving to Southern Africa, I have had the privilege of experiencing different cultures and perspectives. My own journey of healing and growth has taught me the importance of multifaceted approaches to therapy, which is why I have developed a unique therapeutic style that incorporates theatre, dance, and art therapies, as well as somatic expressive arts therapy.

Somatic Psychotherapy and Holistic Therapy

In today's fast-paced, computer-driven world, it's easy to lose touch with our physical and emotional bodies. Somatic Psychotherapy is a holistic approach that honors and facilitates the balancing and union of the mind, body, and spirit. This approach is particularly effective in trauma healing, allowing individuals to overcome past wounding and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. By integrating body awareness, emotional regulation, and spiritual growth, individuals can break free from limiting patterns and cultivate a sense of wholeness and inner peace.

What Sets Me Apart

As a multicultural therapist, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, drawing from my own experiences of diaspora and starting over in new lands. I understand the struggles that come with adapting to new environments and cultures. My clients receive a personalized approach that addresses their unique needs and circumstances.

Education

I hold an MA in Counselling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, a renowned institution focused on Jungian and depth psychology. My training has equipped me with a solid foundation in traditional counselling techniques, which I combine with somatic and holistic approaches to create a unique therapeutic experience.
