Sofia Paraskevopoulou

Sofia Paraskevopoulou is a CDA-licensed Psychologist with over 18 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and their families. Her primary areas of expertise include the psychological assessment and intervention of neurodevelopmental conditions, particularly ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. She also supports children experiencing emotional, behavioural, learning, and developmental difficulties that affect every day functioning, relationships, and adjustment at home and school. Her clinical experience further includes working with childhood psychosis, trauma, bullying, anxiety, and phobias.

She holds an MSc in Developmental Psychopathology from the University of Reading, UK. Her professional experience spans clinical, educational, and independent practice settings, including extensive work within multicultural environments. This breadth of experience has shaped a collaborative and integrated approach, with a strong emphasis on maintaining consistency and continuity of care across the different environments in a child's life.

Her work includes comprehensive psychological and developmental assessments, individual therapy, parent counselling and psychoeducation, school consultation, and multidisciplinary collaboration with healthcare and education professionals to support each child's development, learning, and emotional wellbeing.

Her approach is person-centred and tailored to each child's developmental profile, strengths, needs, and family context. She works at each child's pace, placing great importance on building a trusting therapeutic relationship where children feel safe, understood, and supported. Rather than relying on a single therapeutic model, she integrates psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural (CBT-informed), behavioural, developmental, and communication-based approaches, adapting her interventions to meet each child's individual needs and developmental stage.
