Testimonials
I had a great fear of starting therapy until I met Nicos.
He makes every session so adaptable to the person’s style and needs. During the years 4 members of my family had sessions with him and it could not be more useful to each one of us. Always end up the sessions feel amazing, making me understand more about myself. The best professional. Highly recommended.
Taking my therapy with Dr. Ilia was the best decision I could ever made.
His approaches, assistance, and guidance are just unique. He shows me the way to understand my needs, find myself and success in both personal and professional life. I am grateful to be able to go through my healing journey with Dr. Ilia and for having this amazing mentor in my life.
What can I say about Dr. Nicos, there are not enough words to describe the respect and gratitude that I have for him.
He helped me find myself again, find the passion for my work again, face a lot of my fears and deal with anxiety. Self awareness is a lifetime process, a real marathon and Dr Nicos has been and still is, a true coach, in every session.
My journey with Nicos has been extremely transformative.
Every person is unique, as is their life, and therefore so is the therapy and support they need. There is a two-way communication and he always makes me feel safe and understood. We set clear goals that we consistently work towards. It's the best investment I made for myself and most importantly with the right person for me. So grateful of this journey - best mentor. Tiny tip: You always have to be willing to help yourself.
I have been having weekly sessions with Dr. Nikos since 2018.
No words can express the heartfelt gratitude I feel towards him. He introduced me into a mindful way of living, guided me to strive for constant development, and was instrumental in cultivating my critical thinking as a young man searching for his own truth. Dr. Nikos provides a safe and reliable haven, using contemporary methods of Psychotherapy in a mentoring way. Anyone who really wants to develop mentally, spiritually and become a better person should pay a visit without any hesitation. Self development is the best present anyone can make to himself.
Psychotherapy is something that can be taught/studied and Dr. Nikos Ilias has many years of study in it.
However, when you only bring studies to the table it is difficult to stand out. Dr. Nikos Ilias brings both passion and love for what he does, as well as the calmness and serenity he has as a person and transmits to you from the first moment you enter his space. I began my therapeutic journey with Dr. Nikos Ilias a few years ago to deal with the grief of some significant losses in my life. Along the way, he offered me much more. He showed me ways to deal with anxiety and negative thoughts. He supported me in some significant professional changes and helped me improve all areas of my life. Dr. Nikos Ilias is the best psychologist and mentor/guide I could ask for. I will be forever grateful to him for the help he gave me in upgrading my life on all levels.
