Video transcript
something is wrong. It's just that you are tired, tired of always holding it all together. You show up, you care for others, you do your best. But deep down you wonder, when will it feel easier to be me? If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. I'm Serena Shashibi, a psychologist and systemic family therapist and I'm here to support you. I work with people who carry a lot in their hearts, their roles, relationships. Many are sensitive, strong, high functioning and quietly exhausted. Others carry emotional pain from earlier in life that still echoes in the present. You may not have had the space to feel, to fall apart or to heal. That's what I offer, a safe, respectful space where you don't have to do it all anymore, at least not alone. My approach is warm, grounded and deeply human. I use emotionally focused therapy and trauma-informed practices to help you make sense of what's going on inside. Together we build emotional safety, clarity and connection to yourself and all those you love. If any part of this resonates, I invite you to reach out. You don't have to do it all figured out. You just need to be willing to begin and I'll work with you from there. Thank you for being here.
Strengthening emotional resilience in high-pressure environments, releasing patterns of emotional disconenection that block intimacy and self worth, transforming anxiety and inner tension into clarity, calm and confidence, healing early relational wounds that silently influence your present

Revive Your Relationship: Emotionally Focused Therapy for Deeper Connection (EN)
Video transcript
You love each other, but lately it's been hard. The same fights on repeat. Misunderstandings that leave you both hurt. Moments of silence that feel heavier than words. It's not that you don't care. You're just stuck in a cycle that neither of you knows how to break it. As a therapist trained in emotionally focused therapy, I help couples understand what really drives their conflict recognize their deeper needs beneath their reactions, heal attachment wounds that create distance, rebuild emotional safety and connection, transform how they speak, listen and hold each other emotionally. You don't need to fight harder for your relationship, you need a new way to see each other and feel seen. If you're both willing to try, gently, honestly, I can help you find your way back. Not to who you were before, but to something even deeper. Let's begin.
-Understand the emotional patterns that keep you stuck -Identify the deeper needs beneath anger, silence or withdrawal -Heal relational wounds shaped by past experiences -Rebuikd emotional trust
- Learn how to reach for each other in moments of vulnerability rather than disconnect
- Deal divorces
Bio
I help individuals and couples heal emotional wounds, deepen relationships, and reclaim their sense of self. With advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), systemic therapy and trauma-informed care, I specialize in guiding clients through the core issues of anxiety, relational distress, and early developmental trauma. My work is especially attuned to high-achieving professionals who want to thrive emotionally without sacrificing ambition.
Whether you’re navigating a difficult relationship, seeking healing from past experiences, or feeling emotionally burnt out despite external success, I offer a grounded, neuroscience-based approach tailored to your unique needs. My sessions provide a warm, collaborative space where insight and transformation happen — not just coping.
Through online sessions, I support clients across Greece and internationally. If you’re ready to experience deep, lasting change and reconnect with what matters most, let’s work together.
