Phaidra-Polyxeni (Xenia) Kaspar, NCPS

Phaidra-Polyxeni (Xenia) Kaspar offers warm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She introduces a calm, straightforward style and aims to make the first steps easier. Xenia speaks English, German and Greek and is based in the United Kingdom.

She draws on personal experience of trauma, grief and neurodiversity to inform a compassionate, down-to-earth approach. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and focus on clear goals. Conversations are direct but gentle, and Xenia aims to help people make steady, manageable changes.

Her background includes work with individuals, couples and groups, plus leading mindfulness and dialectical behaviour therapy style group sessions. She also works as a CPCAB approved counselling tutor and brings teaching experience to her clinical work. This mix means she combines practical tools with reflective listening.

Xenia uses a range of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-informed work. She will discuss the most suitable methods with each person and adapt techniques to match their situation. The goal is to find what helps rather than forcing a single method.

People come for help with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, ADHD and stress-related burnout. Xenia aims to build a collaborative plan so clients leave sessions with clearer steps and something to try between meetings.

How these approaches work online and what to expect

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make room for valued action. It uses practical exercises to clarify what matters and to build small steps towards those goals, which can suit issues like anxiety, depression or life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current responses. It helps people understand relationship reactions and learn different ways to connect or set boundaries when trust has been damaged.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will talk through options and choose methods together with the client based on needs, goals and personal preferences. That collaborative approach means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available formats before booking because the biography does not specify set session types here. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight and reduce travel time. It can also make group sessions and mindfulness work more accessible for people who cannot attend in person. Confirm the exact session formats offered when you arrange your first appointment.
