About Theodore Eleftheriou

Theodore approaches therapy from the belief that people behave the way they do for a reason, and that understanding those reasons can create opportunities for change. He views past experiences - both positive and painful - as key drivers of current patterns, and he works collaboratively with clients to explore how early life and recent events shape reactions and choices.

He holds three degrees focused on human behaviour - one in psychology and two in counselling - and generally favors a person-centered style that prioritises the client's perspective and autonomy. He remains open to techniques beyond that approach when they serve a client's needs. Theodore has previous experience as a relationship counsellor and now focuses much of his work on supporting parents and caregivers navigating separation and separation-related transitions, emphasising communication, anger management, and stress reduction to ease those changes.

His practice also includes work with people who have experienced trauma and domestic violence, and with individuals who have perpetrated domestic violence by helping them understand the origins of their behaviour. Theodore brings both personal and professional insight into grief and loss. He meets each client without judgement, operating from the simple stance that people are human - not good or bad - and that exploring history can illuminate pathways to different responses.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Theodore uses several established approaches to support clients in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own perspective and strengths, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space to explore feelings and choices and to build self-awareness. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships influence current emotional patterns and interpersonal dynamics, helping clients address issues like trust, intimacy, and abandonment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Theodore works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors the work to the individual's history and circumstances rather than applying a single method rigidly.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to access care around work, caregiving, or other commitments, and they allow ongoing support to continue when in-person sessions are impractical. Theodore uses these modalities to provide consistent, adaptable care that meets clients where they are.
