About Phaidra-Polyxeni
Phaidra-Polyxeni (Xenia) Kaspar welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, anxiety or difficult relationship dynamics. She writes plainly and listens carefully, aiming to make the first conversations straightforward and manageable. Xenia uses everyday language and practical steps to help people take the next small step forward.
She draws on three years of clinical experience and holds an NCPS credential. Xenia combines talking therapy with skills practice and reflective work.
How Phaidra-Polyxeni works
Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Xenia’s background includes running group sessions in mindfulness and dialectical behaviour approaches, and she works with individuals and couples. Her lived experience with trauma, grief and neurodiversity informs a compassionate style and an effort to make therapy realistic for busy lives.
Her main focus areas include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and ADHD. She also helps people with sleep difficulties, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem, plus career and life-change issues. In sessions she aims to be practical and respectful.
Expect a combination of short-term skills, values-based work and deeper exploration when that feels useful. Xenia encourages collaboration so goals are clear and progress is reviewed together. She offers work in English, German and Greek, and sees people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients by online formats.
To begin, clients use the site matching process and then schedule sessions to fit their needs.

How different approaches come alive online
Phaidra-Polyxeni (Xenia) Kaspar uses approaches that blend talking with practical skills. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and testing small changes to reduce distress and improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed actions that fit those values even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of connecting and helps people build more effective ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Xenia treats the process as collaborative and will discuss options with each person based on their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. Together they decide whether to focus on skills training, values work, attachment patterns or a mix of methods.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and exercise demonstrations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, weekly reflections or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit regular work into busy schedules and to continue therapy while travelling or living abroad.
