How Nikos works with people
Nikos joined the YogaOnCrete family in 2018 and quickly became an essential part of this place through his warm, friendly, and grounded presence.
He is a person-centred Focusing psychotherapist, working with people in a way that prioritises listening, safety, and gentle self-inquiry. Furthermore, he facilitates therapy groups on themes centering on self-awareness.
