About me

The experiences my life and work in Greece, Spain, and Austria taught me, are very valuable, and I keep on learning every day. But there is one thing that I can say with certainty today: we all have the potential and the capability to make our lives and our selves happier.

We just need to realize that problems are a part of life and we can stop fearing them. Instead, we can see them as lessons of life that are only there to make us stronger and help us develop our soul and our personality.

Life is like a movie that goes on and never ends. People are participating in it; and there are times when they are asked to deal with roles and challenges that make them feel unfulfilled, troubled or overwhelmed.

My goal is to give you clarity about your thoughts and together with you find new interpretations and meanings that can be useful in your life. And sometimes we have to remind ourselves that we are all people with the same needs.

We want to be loved, we want to have security and we want to feel happy…

I am looking forward to working with you.
Georgios Anagnostoudis
