Sotirios’ community service was completed within the Department of Correctional Services (Pollsmoor Prison). This experience allowed him to develop unique perspectives and an understanding of the complex factors associated with mental health and criminal behaviour. Here, he his work involved psychological and risk assessments, individual and group psychotherapy, as well as the training and supervision of peers, prison wardens, and programme facilitators.

He has worked with multidisciplinary teams in various culturally diverse public, private, inpatient, and outpatient settings for the past 16 years. He has provided therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults struggling with a wide range of psychological disorders.

His formal training was grounded in psychodynamic therapy, which focuses on learning how a person’s subconscious thoughts, feelings, and memories might be affecting their current behaviour. With this deepened insight and self-awareness, a person can develop adaptive coping techniques/mechanisms and achieve therapeutic goals such as improving relationships, identifying and changing self-defeating patterns of behaviour, developing emotional intelligence, and making heathier choices for sustained mental health.

He uses this psychodynamic framework in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities (SFBT, DBT, CBT, SCHEMA, BWRT I) as part of an integrative approach to fit the unique individual needs of a client. It is thus a flexible, person-centred approach to address an extensive range of psychological issues.

The psychotherapeutic process with Sotirios will take place in a non-judgemental, empathic, safe therapeutic space that nurtures trust and connection so that the goal of optimal healing and growth may take place.

He offers both medium- and long-term psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults and families with special interests in, but not limited to:

  • Trauma and Stress-related difficulties (such as PTSD and bereavement)
  • Depression and Mood Disorders
  • Anxiety and Panic Disorders (such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders, Social Anxiety, and Phobias)
  • ADHD/Attention/Focus difficulties
  • Sleep Disorders
  • Psychotic Disorders (such as Schizophrenia)
  • Addictions (such as substances, gaming, sex, and gambling)
  • Sexuality and Identity integration
  • Adjustment Disorders related to life transitions
  • Mental health and performance support for athletes
  • Interpersonal and attachment difficulties

He also works with clients who wish to gain increased self-knowledge and personal growth through the psychotherapeutic relationship. He provides in-person and online (adults only) psychotherapy sessions in both English and Afrikaans.
