Which Type of Psychotherapy Is Right for You?A Psychiatrist’s Guide to Personalized, Evidence-Based Therapy Referrals in Cyprus
Choosing the right type of psychotherapy is a deeply personal and clinically important decision. As a psychiatrist based in Cyprus, one of the most common questions I receive is:
“Can you recommend a therapist for me?”
or
“Which type of therapy will work best for my needs?”
The answer depends on who you are, what you’re experiencing, and what kind of therapeutic support you’re looking for.
Rather than offering psychotherapy myself, I work with a large network of trusted, multilingual therapists in Cyprus and online—so I can help you access the most appropriate treatment for your unique needs.
🌿 Therapy Is Not One-Size-Fits-All
Modern psychotherapy is rooted in science. But choosing the right approach is not just about diagnosis—it’s about the person behind the diagnosis.
As a psychiatrist, I recommend therapy types based on:
Clinical diagnosis (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD)
Symptom severity and duration
Personality traits (emotional style, defense mechanisms, relational patterns)
Therapy goals (insight, skill-building, emotional regulation)
Past therapy experiences
Language, culture, and therapist availability
This is a tailor-made process that respects your individuality and ensures you’re referred to a therapist who is not only clinically qualified—but also a good personal fit.
