Welcome to 
Healing Pathways


Welcome to my practice! I am Marianna Andrianakou, an expat psychologist who offers sessions in english and greek, in the heart of Amsterdam or online. As a psychologist (mSc clinical psychology) and gestalt-therapist (in training) I am deeply committed to creating a therapeutic space rooted in empathy, warmth, and inclusivity.

I view healing as a pathway, a living, shifting journey that unfolds at your own pace, not a straight line or a final destination you arrive at once and for all.

Each person walks a different path. Some paths are steady; others twist through uncertainty before opening into clarity. Sometimes you move forward, sometimes you pause, and sometimes you discover new directions you didn’t know were there. 

In therapy, we walk these pathways together. Not by pushing or determining where you “should” go, but by exploring, listening, and honoring what emerges along the way. 

Through our work together, the journey becomes a space for acceptance, integration, and discovery. Wherever you begin, your path is valid. And you don’t have to walk it alone.


About me 


I originally come from Athens, Greece where I completed my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Later on, I moved to the Netherlands, where I completed a master's degree in Clinical Psychology.  I am currently on the third year of a four-year training in Gestalt Psychotherapy at the NSG.

My long education in psychology and therapy, as well as my personal experience of receiving therapy, have helped me create a holistic approach, tailored to the needs of each client. I am deeply committed in staying up to date with the latest advancements in the field, and make sure to receive continuous supervision, intervision and personal therapy.





Approach



Through my practice, I aspire to create an empathetic and warm space where my clients can safely explore their emotions, thoughts and experiences without judgement. My work is rooted in the exploration and acceptance of the lived experience, honoring each thought, feeling and behavior as the best solution that someone had at a time, instead of a “symptom” or a problem to be solved. 

My approach -based in Gestalt therapy- is embodied, existential and holistic, encouraging you to turn inward and connect with your feelings and bodily sensations. I view therapy as a collaborative process, where the “here and now” and the therapeutic relationship play an important role in navigating your current experience. Together we can navigate life’s challenges and foster personal growth through cultivating awareness, integration and acceptance.

My goal is to accompany you in this journey while being a present and active listener to support you in finding balance, resilience, and a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you.

Who do I work with?
Adults, teenagers and couples and I offer LGBTQIA+, neurodivergence and trauma informed care.
