Dr. Eleni Karliampa

Dr. Eleni Karliampa is a Greek and English-speaking clinical psychologist in Milan, training as a systemic-relational psychotherapist. She receives patients in person in Milan and works online with people living elsewhere in Italy and abroad, in Greek, English and Italian, with adolescents, adults, couples and families.

She is Greek and lives in Italy as an expat, having arrived years ago to study. She has also lived in Germany. That is not a line on a CV here: the experience of building a life in a country that is not your own, in a language that is not your first, is the same experience most of her patients are describing.

She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology in Greece, where she spent a year in community mental health supporting people with psychosis through dance movement therapy, then a Master’s in Clinical Psychology at the University of Bergamo, in multicultural and developmental contexts. She is in the final stage of her third year specialising in Systemic-Relational Psychotherapy.

That approach looks at how an individual experience is shaped by family dynamics, social interaction and wider relational systems. In her hands it emphasises the relationship a person has with themselves, integrating emotional insight with attention to strengths and resilience rather than only to what is broken.

She works with anxiety, emotional regulation, mood, self-esteem, identity and cultural identity, migration difficulties, separations and life crises, psychosomatic difficulties, relational and complex trauma, and with emotional and behavioural dependencies. She also works with LGBTQ+ patients and on school-related difficulties with adolescents.

Her experience spans schools, family settings and private practice, and her practice is explicitly inclusive and culturally sensitive: a safe, collaborative and reflective space where a person is heard rather than assessed.

You do not have to pick her yourself. At Therapsy every person is matched by a human being, not by an algorithm: our clinical team reads your request, and if Dr. Karliampa is the right fit for what you are bringing, they will introduce you. The first call is free, and it is there to check that the fit is real before anything begins.

Dr. Karliampa is registered with the Italian Order of Psychologists (registration no. 26852). She receives in Milan and works online with patients across Italy and abroad.
