Hello, I am a scientist and a researcher, but before becoming any of these, I was a griever because I lost my mother (who was my only caregiver) when I was still studying, at the age of 22 years old, and she died after a long fight with cancer which lasted 12 years, so I basically grew up under the shadow of her disease. The most significant losses that I have experienced though, are the ones of my first cat, Sylvia and of my beloved dog, Misoy.

I will start providing in person (in the area of Skåne) GRM one to one sessions, in English and in Greek, from the beginning of 2026, but my primary focus is going to be pet loss support. I am also already providing online one to one sessions.

Three years after my mother died, Sylvia had to be euthanized at the age of 12 years old and this was even harder for me, as from a kid I have been very much connected with animals and my cat was basically holding space for me to grieve my mother. Fast forward to 2024, when I lost my beloved dog, Misoy and I realized through this grief that I actually lost the feeling of safety whilst I also came to realize that Misoy was fathering me. So, what I was actually grieving at that time (and maybe during my whole life up until October '25) is the dad that I never got to have, but it was impossible to keep carrying this unresolved grief all by myself, because it was disrupting my life in a very deep level. I 've done CBT and EMDR therapy, meditation as well and I read many self help books too to help myself overcome some serious mental health issues that I was struggling with but none of them managed to set me free, and release the pain from the accumulated unresolved grief in my body and my brain. However, the Grief Recovery Method did that, and I now feel at last free and at peace! It's unbelievable how the tools of the grief recovery method can help people in a short amount of time.

I can remember Misoy, and cherish the life that I got to live with him, with warmth and gratitude in my heart instead of the pain that I was feeling before that made it unbearable.

I hold a BSc on Mathematics, an MSc on Biodiversity Conservation and I have founded Ethos & Empathy, an online encyclopedia on Animal Ethics and Sustainability while I was simultaneously working as a freelance researcher for international Antispeciesist / Effective Altruist NGOs. I lived nomadically for many years, until I constructed my tiny house on wheels, a first of its kind in my country of origin, Greece, a project for which I gave several interviews as an entrepreneur, because I wanted to empower more women in Greece into pursuing their dream life! In June 2025 I moved to Sweden though, because it became unbearable to keep spending summers in Greece due to climate collapse, especially while living off the grid,

I also obtain the following certificates:

1) Four certificates from the "Shapes of Grief" online Grief Training program (Foundation, intermediate & advanced certificates in Loss & Grief and a certificate on Prolonged Grief Disorder and its treatment) and
2) A certificate from the Climate Psychology Alliance on Hosting and Facilitating a Climate Café Listening Circle.
