Ανδρομάχη Κάρζα — Psychologist, MEd, MSc
A space to talk.
Psychological support and counselling for children, adolescents and adults — specialised in neurodevelopmental conditions (ADHD, autism spectrum) and learning difficulties.
Sessions take place online, by appointment. I reply within two working days.
A few words about me
I am a psychologist, a graduate of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, with a master's in Special Education (University of Patras) and one in Educational Psychology (University of Nicosia). I work with children, adolescents and adults — and with the parents who want to understand what is happening with their child and what they can do about it.
My work has two constants: clear goals we set together, and practical tools that are tested in everyday life — at home, at school, at work. I do not promise quick fixes; I do always explain what we are doing and why.
What is said in sessions stays there. Professional confidentiality is not a courtesy — it is a legal and ethical obligation.

Where I have worked
My experience does not come from a single setting: it runs through special education, psychometric assessment, groups for adolescents and adults, and teaching. All four are at work inside a session.
Special education
Working with children with special educational needs and behavioural difficulties, inside the educational setting itself.
Psychometric assessment
Assessment of the cognitive abilities and psychosocial strengths of children and adolescents, using standardised psychometric instruments.
Adolescents — individually and in groups
Sustained work on building psychosocial skills and on managing performance anxiety.
Adults — individually and in groups
Individual and group sessions of psychosocial support.
Teaching
Instructor at a Greek public vocational institute (ΙΕΚ).

Services
All sessions take place online, by appointment, at a fixed day and time. The fee is discussed in our first conversation, before we book anything.
Psychological support for children
Work with the child alongside regular parent meetings. Emotional and behavioural difficulties, school anxiety, adjusting to change.
Sessions for adolescents
With parental consent. The first meeting is usually with the parents, the rest with the adolescent — and with a clear agreement about what stays between us.
Neurodevelopmental conditions & learning difficulties
ADHD, autism spectrum, learning difficulties: assessment of needs, targeted intervention, and coordination with the school and the other professionals involved.
Building social skills
How to join a group, how to disagree without losing the friendship, how to read what is going on around you. Through structured practice, not only conversation.
Parent counselling & psychoeducation
Without the child, for the child. What the diagnosis means in practice, what works at home, how to talk to the school — and where to set the bar realistically.
Individual sessions for adults
Psychosocial support, managing anxiety with CBT-based practices and methods, relationships, self-esteem, psychological trauma, burnout, resilience.
What we work on
Some of the most common reasons people get in touch:
If what concerns you is not on this list, that does not mean it is not a reason to come. Call, and we will talk it through.
How I work
We start from what is actually hard in everyday life and work towards it — with tools you can use outside the session too.
CBT practices and methods
A cognitive–behavioural base: how what we think, feel and do are connected — and what shifts when one of the three changes.
Psychoeducation
Once a family understands how ADHD or a learning difficulty works, the way they read the behaviour changes. That shift is often half the work.
Working with the wider context
Always with the parents and — where it helps, and with your consent — with the school and the other professionals involved (speech therapist, occupational therapist, child psychiatrist).
Goals we can check
We agree from the start what should change and how we will know. If something is not working, we change it — we do not repeat it.
How we begin
Your first appointment in four simple steps — nothing needs preparing.
-
First contact
You call, email, or fill in the form. We talk for a few minutes and find a time.
-
First meeting
You tell me what brings you here. For a child under 18, this first meeting is with the parents.
-
Planning together
We agree what we are working on, how often, and how we will know it is going well.
-
Our work
A fixed day and time, by video call. We revisit the frame whenever it is needed.
- A quiet roomSomewhere no one can overhear you for fifty minutes.
- Connection and cameraA computer, tablet or phone — whatever you already have.
- HeadphonesThey help a great deal, especially children, to stay focused.
- No recordingSessions are never filmed or recorded.
Frequently asked questions
How do online sessions work?
By video call, at a fixed day and time. You receive a link before each session; there is nothing complicated to install. Sessions are never recorded.
How long is a session?
About fifty minutes, at a fixed day and time. With younger children the length is adapted to what they can sustain. That consistency is part of the work itself, not an organisational detail.
Do you diagnose ADHD or autism?
In Greece a neurodevelopmental diagnosis is made by a multidisciplinary team — a KEDASY centre, a child guidance centre, or a child psychiatrist.
What I do is the psychological assessment of needs, the support and the intervention, working alongside the services that issue the diagnosis. If a formal diagnosis is needed, I will point you to where to go.
I have worked in psychometric assessment, using standardised instruments for the cognitive abilities and psychosocial strengths of children and adolescents. In practice that means we can read through an assessment report you already hold: what it says, what it does not say, and what it means for everyday life.
My child already has a diagnosis. What changes?
A diagnosis is the beginning, not the conclusion. We work on what is specifically hard — studying, organisation, behaviour, friendships, sleep, anxiety — and on what can change in the environment so the child is not carrying all of it alone.
Are parents involved in the work with a child?
Yes. For a child under 18 the first meeting is with the parents, without the child. Regular parent meetings follow: without psychoeducation and consistency at home, what happens in the session rarely holds.
Is what we say confidential?
Yes. I am bound by professional confidentiality.
When working with minors, parents are told how the work is going and anything that concerns the child's safety — but not every detail the child confides. This is agreed explicitly with both sides at the start.
The exceptions are few and specific: mainly where there is immediate danger to someone's life, or where the law requires it. I will explain them fully in the first session.
How long will I need to come?
It depends on what you bring. Some things take a few months of work; others need longer. We will discuss it openly at the start and revisit it as we go — and I will tell you plainly if I think you no longer need sessions.
How much does it cost?
The fee is discussed in our first conversation, before we book an appointment, so you know it in advance.
What if I need to cancel?
You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours in advance. Closer than that, the session is charged — not as a penalty, but because the hour is held for you and cannot be offered to someone else.
Is it covered by EOPYY (Greek public insurance)?
EOPYY has no contracts with private psychologists, so there is no “coverage” in the sense it has with a doctor. There is a partial reimbursement procedure for the insured person, which requires a psychiatrist's referral, a receipt and a formal declaration.
I cannot guarantee the outcome of that application — EOPYY decides it. I can give you every document you need.
Psychologist, psychotherapist, psychiatrist — what is the difference?
A psychologist has studied psychology and holds a licence to practise. A psychotherapist has additional training in a specific therapeutic approach. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor and is the only one who can prescribe medication.
If medication seems needed, I will tell you, and we will work together with a psychiatrist or child psychiatrist.
Are sessions available in English?
Yes — sessions are offered in both Greek and English.
