Nora Panagiota Klagka

Nora is a professionally qualified integrative counsellor and supervisor with over 4000 hours of clinical experience. Her practice is built upon a strong foundation of academic and professional expertise, including a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a Level 7 Advanced Diploma in Clinical Supervision and a PhD in Humanities.

Nora’s humanistic approach is creative, open and flexible because she believes that just as the context of trauma is individual, so is the process of healing. Her work combines Carl Roger’s Person Centred modality with Gabor Mate’s trauma informed approach. What does this mean in practice? It means that in sessions with Nora, you will find a safe, warm and non-judgmental environment where you can feel secure exploring your feelings and your past history. Talking about your feelings, reconnecting with yourself and exploring your past history is a very important part of therapy.

Nevertheless, sometimes we feel we know well what happened to us, we can identify and explain it but then, why can’t we change it? This is the extra step Nora’s sessions offer: moving beyond identification. Our traumas are stored in our body and dictate behaviours that are difficult to shift, leading to frustration and self-blame, whereas what we really need is true understanding and compassion. We need to compassionately navigate our bodies toward inner calm and empowerment. Nora is non directive in her approach but that doesn’t mean that she remains silent during the sessions; she will actively support you every step of the way.

She would like to assure you that the process of exploring yourself and your personal history although not easy, could also be exciting and ground breaking. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy BACP, she abides by their ethical framework, which promotes high-calibre professional conduct and ensures confidentiality.

Nora is working with clients short and long term and she specialises in issues with: Self-Esteem & Identity: Understanding and improving our relationship with ourselves. Relationship Issues: Navigating family, romantic, or social dynamics. Anxiety: Managing the pressures and root causes of stress.

Nora offers sessions in English and Greek.
