About Phaidra-Polyxeni
Phaidra-Polyxeni (Xenia) Kaspar offers gentle, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life. She meets clients where they are and works at a steady pace. Xenia uses straightforward language and a respectful approach that aims to make talking about hard things easier.
She draws on three years of counselling experience and holds the NCPS credential. Xenia has personal experience of trauma, grief and neurodiversity, which informs her sensitivity to those concerns.
Background and approach
She lives in the south of the United Kingdom and speaks English, German and Greek. Xenia uses several therapy approaches and adapts them to each person. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps such as building coping skills, improving communication, and working through painful memories.
The emphasis is on practical change rather than jargon. Her work covers a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem. Additional areas include attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image and career concerns.
She also brings experience with group work and runs mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Non Violent Resistance groups. Xenia describes herself as a counsellor and as a CPCAB approved counselling tutor, and she aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. People can expect a collaborative style.
Xenia will work alongside them to set goals and try different strategies until they find what helps. Her tone is calm, direct and compassionate.

Sessions & fees
Approaches you can try online and how they help
Phaidra-Polyxeni (Xenia) Kaspar practises Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred ways of working. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current connections. It can help with intimacy issues, attachment concerns and relationship difficulties. Client-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions; it is often used alongside other methods to build trust and clarity.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Xenia will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit the person. That collaborative approach means plans can be adjusted if one way of working does not suit.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
