About Iro Michael
Meet Iro Michael
A Human Approach to Therapy
I’m Iro Michael — a psychotherapist based in Limassol. My work is rooted in honesty, compassion, and curiosity about what it means to live a meaningful life.
Having grown up across three islands and cultures, I’ve seen how deeply belonging and connection shape us. That curiosity led me to study psychology and, later, existential psychotherapy — an approach that embraces life’s big questions instead of avoiding them.
I hold a BSc in Psychology (University of Kent) and an MSc in Existential Psychology and Psychotherapy (NSPC, London). I’m a registered member of BACP, a voting member of FETE, and a member of the Pancyprian Association of Psychotherapists (PAP).
How I Work
Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
Healing doesn’t come from quick fixes — it grows through genuine human connection.
Our sessions move at your pace. I listen carefully to your story and tailor therapy to your needs, blending existential, humanistic, and somatic approaches.
Sometimes we’ll slow down and explore what your anxiety, anger, or sadness might be trying to say. Other times, we’ll focus on practical tools to help you navigate stress, relationships, or self-doubt.
Whatever you bring, you’ll be met with warmth, honesty, and respect for your background and experiences.
A Decade of
Compassionate Practice
Experience, Training, and Heart
For more than ten years, I’ve supported adults and young people (14+) through therapy — in person and online. My work spans a wide range of areas, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, relationship challenges, and identity concerns.
Alongside private practice, I’ve collaborated with several NGOs and completed training in Emotion-Focused Therapy and Meaning-Centred Psychotherapy for cancer care. I’m also pursuing Family Systemic Therapy to offer more holistic support.
Therapy, to me, isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong.” It’s about discovering what’s real — and learning to live from that place with more clarity, freedom, and self-compassion.
