A Few Words About the Psychologist
An integrative,
evidence-based approach
Kelly Tzanou is a psychologist and counsellor with over a decade of experience in the field of mental health. She holds a degree in Psychology from London Metropolitan University and a Master's degree in child psychology and special educational needs from the University of East London. She is currently completing advanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based supportive approach that examines the dynamic interplay between cognition, emotion, and behaviour.
From 2011 to 2014, Kelly practised as a psychologist in Athens and Chalkida, providing comprehensive psychological assessment and evidence-based supportive interventions to a diverse client population, children, adolescents, families, and adults. Her clinical work centred on using structured supportive methods to support clients in managing emotional dysregulation, maladaptive behavioural patterns, and relational difficulties. She also brings several years of experience as a psychological assistant working with children with autism and ADHD.
In 2015 she relocated to Germany, where she has since made meaningful contributions to public- and state-sector mental health initiatives. Since 2017 she has collaborated with the Regional Authority of Upper Bavaria (Bezirk Oberbayern), taking an active role in programmes that promote mental well-being, social inclusion, and educational development. Her professional network includes the Youth Welfare Office (Jugendamt), private Montessori schools, private secondary schools, and intercultural programmes supporting international families through their adaptation and integration.
Beyond psychological counselling, Kelly is distinguished by her commitment to social contribution and community work. She has volunteered with organisations in Greece, including care institutions for vulnerable populations and support centres for youth at risk. This work reflects her core values: empathy, social responsibility, and compassionate care.
