Kelly Tzanou

A Few Words About the Psychologist

An integrative,
evidence-based approach

Kelly Tzanou is a psychologist who has worked in the field of mental health since 2011. She holds a degree in Psychology from London Metropolitan University and a Master's degree from the University of East London. She is currently completing advanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based supportive approach that examines the dynamic interplay between cognition, emotion, and behaviour.

From 2011 to 2014, Kelly gained her first professional experience in Athens and Chalkida, first through her practicum and then in assistant roles, working under supervision with children, adolescents, families, and adults. That work centred on structured supportive methods for emotional dysregulation, unhelpful behavioural patterns, and relational difficulties, and included several years alongside children with autism and ADHD.

In 2015 she relocated to Germany, where she has since made meaningful contributions to public- and state-sector mental health initiatives. Since 2017 she has collaborated with the Regional Authority of Upper Bavaria (Bezirk Oberbayern), taking an active role in programmes that promote mental well-being, social inclusion, and educational development. Her professional network includes the Youth Welfare Office (Jugendamt), private Montessori schools, private secondary schools, and intercultural programmes supporting international families through their adaptation and integration.

Beyond psychological counselling, Kelly is distinguished by her commitment to social contribution and community work. She has volunteered with organisations in Greece, including care institutions for vulnerable populations and support centres for youth at risk. This work reflects her core values: empathy, social responsibility, and compassionate care.

Why I Do This Work

A moment that changed everything

Early in my career, I was doing my practicum at a school when the principal came to me with an unusual request. There was a child who hadn't spoken to anyone, not to teachers, not to classmates, not to any of the other psychology trainees working there. Could I try?

Ten minutes after I sat down with that child, they spoke.

Connection, real, unhurried, human connection, is where everything begins. Not technique. Not credentials. Connection.

In the weeks that followed, they went from speaking to laughing. A colleague from the education department, hearing the child's voice for the very first time, stopped in her tracks, visibly startled.

I don't tell this story to impress anyone. I tell it because that moment taught me something I've carried ever since: I understood something I've never let go of since, this is what I'm here to do.

Our Method

The Counselling Approach

Our method at Your Therapy Center is grounded in the latest insights from three key fields:

Psychology

Supporting emotional growth and resilience.

Neuroscience

Understanding how the brain shapes behaviour and relationships.

Personalised Care

Tailoring strategies to meet your unique needs.

01

Fostering Trust and Safety

Meaningful counselling begins with a trusting supportive relationship. From our first session, we work to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself openly and authentically.

02

Defining Goals Together

Your aspirations and values guide our work. Together, we'll identify what you hope to achieve and create a clear, collaborative path that aligns with your priorities and vision for the future.

03

Tailored, Evidence-Based Methods

No two individuals are the same, and neither are their supportive journeys. I integrate scientifically validated approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Practices, Coaching, and holistic techniques, customised to your specific needs and circumstances. This integrative approach fosters resilience, emotional regulation, and deeper self-awareness.

04

Encouraging Growth and Resilience

Life's challenges can feel overwhelming, but they also present opportunities for growth. My goal is to equip you with practical tools, effective strategies, and the confidence to navigate difficulties, build resilience, and embrace a more purposeful and fulfilling life.
