Adult psychotherapy
Maria Baliakou, BA, MSc European Certified Psychotherapist
If you’re experiencing emotional exhaustion or isolation, know that you’re not alone — and that help is available.
When functioning turns into surviving, something deeper may be going on.
Many adults experience prolonged stress, anxiety, or emotional disconnection without a clear
reason. They may appear outwardly successful while inwardly struggling with low mood, fatigue,
or a persistent sense of dissatisfaction or disorientation.
Over time, unresolved psychological stress can manifest in significant ways — emotionally, relationally, and even physically.
Without the space to process or reflect, many people adopt coping strategies that feel necessary but unsustainable: overworking, emotional avoidance, irritability, withdrawal. You may feel like you’re constantly “managing” yourself, while the sense of joy or meaning fades into the background.
Therapy offers more than symptom relief — it creates space for transformation.
Therapy can be the place where you finally lay it all down — and begin again. Together, we’ll
gently explore:
- What’s weighing on you, and where it really comes from
- How you can start to feel again — safely, and with support
- How to set boundaries, say no, and take up space
- What healing and joy might look like in your life
You don’t need to have it all figured out to ask for help. Just enough strength to reach out. I’m here when you’re ready.
