optionalRita Charalambides – Counsellor Therapist
Hello, I'm Rita a psychosynthesis counsellor. I work with people who are seeking to understand the bigger picture of their lives - where they fit into the world and how they relate to their own story. We are shaped by our experiences and yet we are more than our history. Through our work together, I will gently guide you in remembering who truly are, moving beyond familiar narratives and old patterns.
Personal Touch
In my practice, I focus on:
- Understanding your unique identity and experiences.
- Exploring the different aspects of yourself that shape who you are.
- Helping you reconnect with your true self.
- Supporting you in navigating cultural complexities and personal challenges.
- Creating a safe space for self-exploration and growth.
Client Focus
I work with people who want to understand themselves more deeply and feel less caught in patterns that no longer serve them. This may suit you if you feel disconnected from yourself, are unsure what you truly want or need, or often put yourself last.
In our sessions, we will typically:

- Look at ways you may have learned to protect yourself, including masks used to navigate relationships and life’s challenges.
- Consider how these patterns may have helped you feel safe, accepted or needed, and how they shape your experiences now.
- Begin to harmonise these parts, supporting more conscious choices and a more integrated way of being.
- Explore possibilities for more authentic choices and healthier relationships.
