Dr. Anastasia Sgoumpopoulou

I am originally from Athens, Greece, and Serifos has been part of my life for over 25 years.I have been visiting the island with my family since childhood, and yoga and meditation have always been central to the way we live and connect.This long-standing relationship with both practice and place inspired my family and me to create Kaisanji Monastery and the Zen Centre Athens, spaces dedicated to stillness, mindfulness, and inner exploration.Although I currently work full-time as a psychologist in London, I return to Serifos twice a year to host retreats and share the beauty, depth, and grounding energy of this magical place.I hold a doctorate in psychology, specialising in addictions, trauma, and anxiety.I work integratively, with a particular focus on schema therapy, tailoring my approach to each individual.My work is compassionate, empathetic, and direct, supporting people to heal deep-rooted wounds, reconnect with themselves, and create meaningful, lasting change.
