KATIE GRIGORATOU
PSYCHOLOGIST ~ PSYCHOTHERAPIST
I work with adults experiencing relationship difficulties, anxiety, trauma, and recurring emotional patterns. Through an integrative approach, I help clients understand the patterns, needs, and emotions underlying their difficulties and work toward meaningful change.
My Services
Relationship Difficulties
The patterns we learn throughout life shape how we show up in relationships. Using Positive Psychotherapy’s values and capacities model, we can explore why conflict arises, why we repeat certain relationship patterns, and how our experiences may have shaped our attachment style and the way we connect with others.
Trauma & PTSD/CPTSD
Trauma can leave a lasting imprint on the way we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. It can result from a single event or from situations that continue over a longer period of time. We explore how traumatic experiences have shaped you and how they continue to influence your responses, relationships, and sense of self, using evidence-informed approaches such as grounding, tapping, somatic techniques, and parts work to support coping, healing, and growth.
Anxiety & Self-Esteem
Anxiety is one of the most common and complex emotional experiences we face. It can be deeply connected to our instincts, motivations, life circumstances, relationships, and self-esteem. In therapy, we explore the sources of anxiety and untangle what is healthy, what has become exaggerated, and what may be maintaining or intensifying it, including self-criticism and self-doubt.
My Approach
Positive Psychotherapy (PPT) is a humanistic and transcultural approach to psychotherapy, developed in Germany by Nossrat Peseschkian. It looks beyond symptoms to understand a person’s experiences, relationships, needs, and strengths, while helping them develop greater self-awareness and new perspectives on their difficulties.
I use Positive Psychotherapy as the foundation of my work, integrating psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural (CBT), humanistic, and systemic perspectives. I adapt these perspectives to each person's circumstances, focusing on both the difficulties they are experiencing and the resources they can draw upon.
