Girl in Therapy

Profile

My name is Nicos Hadjisymeou.
I am a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist.

I was born in Nicosia in 1974. I am a Registered Clinical Psychologist in the register of the Cyprus Council of Registration of Psychologists (Reg. No. 639) and a member of the Cyprus Psychologists’ Association.

 

I work privately at my office in Nicosia, offering psychotherapeutic and counseling services to adults, couples, and families — both in person and online.

 

I specialize in:

  • Individual Psychotherapy

  • Psychotherapy for sexual disorders and dysfunctions in men, women, and couples

  • Couple & Relationship Therapy

  • Counseling in sexual education and sexual orientation

  • Divorce Counseling

  • Family Therapy

  • Family Mediation

 

I studied Psychology at the University of Nicosia, where I completed both the 4-year Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and the 3-year Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology. During my clinical training, I provided services at the Center for Research and Counseling Services (KESY) of the University of Nicosia and at the Psychiatric Clinic of Nicosia General Hospital.

I received specialized training in Couple and Marriage Counseling by completing the program “Couple Counseling” at the Center for Systemic Therapy (KE.TH.E.SY). Couple Counseling is a form of psychotherapy that helps couples of all types identify dysfunctional behavioral patterns that hinder effective communication, with the goal of improving and strengthening their relationship. This includes enhancing communication between partners, addressing important issues concerning the relationship, and providing support in matters related to children.

 

In addition, I have attended seminars on various couple therapy approaches, such as: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Reflective Listening, Imago Relationship Therapy, Narrative Therapy Role-playing and behavioral exercises and The Five Love Languages.

I have also been trained in Sex Therapy for sexual disorders and dysfunctions in men, women, and couples, and I am a member of the International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM). Sex therapy addresses issues such as premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, orgasmic disorder, vaginismus, and low sexual desire. The process begins with a diagnostic assessment, where a complete sexual and medical history is taken, followed by identifying the biological, psychological, and social factors contributing to the problem. A tailored treatment plan is then developed for each patient.

 

Furthermore, I am a certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner, trained at the Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy (UK).

I am also a certified Family Mediator, registered in the Registry of Family Dispute Mediators (Reg. No. 2). I completed the official program in Family Mediation accredited by the Ministry of Justice of Cyprus, offered by the European Legal Training Center, as well as Dispute Resolution Training with Dr. Anna Plevri. I also completed the program “Family Law – Practice, Main Provisions and Case Law” (covering Parental Care, Child and Spousal Maintenance, Marriage/Divorce, Property Relations between Spouses) with instructor Mr. Sotiris Liasis, former President of the Family Court, under the auspices of the Cyprus Bar Association. Family Mediation is an alternative method of out-of-court dispute resolution, where the parties, with the assistance of a neutral mediator, negotiate to reach a sustainable and mutually acceptable solution without resorting to costly and lengthy court proceedings.

My therapeutic approach is primarily Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Existential Psychotherapy.

Depending on the client’s needs and personality, I also integrate additional approaches such as:

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Schema Therapy

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

  • Psychodynamic approaches

  • Gottman Method Couples Therapy

  • Reflective Listening

  • Imago Relationship Therapy

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Role-playing and behavioral exercises for couples

  • The Five Love Languages framework

 

All services are always provided with diligence, consistency, and respect, strictly following the Professional Code of Ethics for Psychologists.

 

To this day, I continue my professional development by actively participating in seminars and lectures.
