Anastasia Stavrou

Hi, I’m Anastasia — an NCPS-accredited Life Coach and Academic Mentor with a background in psychology and therapeutic arts.

I support psychology and social science students who want to feel more confident, organised, and emotionally grounded in their studies.
My approach blends academic mentoring (essay structure, critical thinking, study skills) with life coaching and positive psychology tools to help you manage stress, build focus, and reconnect with motivation.

Studying psychology can be both fascinating and overwhelming, since there’s so much theory, reflection, and self-awareness involved. My role is to help you turn that complexity into clarity, linking what you study to your own values, strengths, and lived experience.

How I Can Help?
Academic Mentoring:
Understanding assignment briefs and marking criteria
Planning essays and building argument flow
Developing critical thinking and reflective writing
Structuring and editing with clarity and coherence

Coaching & Wellbeing Support:
Managing academic anxiety and perfectionism
Finding balance between study, work, and personal life
Building self-trust and motivation
Reframing setbacks and feedback constructively

Study Skills for Psychology Students:
Integrating theory and evidence in writing
Revising effectively and preparing for assessments
Translating complex psychological ideas into real-life understanding

Who I Work With?
Undergraduate and MSc Psychology students
Students balancing study with health challenges or personal responsibilities
Mature students returning to education
Learners who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected from their studies
I meet you where you are — whether you’re struggling with a particular module (like Exploring Psychological Worlds), finding university life overwhelming, or wanting to rediscover your confidence as a learner.

My Approach?
Our sessions are interactive, reflective, and deeply person-centred.
We combine practical academic guidance with gentle mindset coaching. I’ll help you understand the “why” behind what you’re studying, connect theory to life, and learn in ways that align with your natural strengths.

I draw from:
my MSc in Applied Positive Psychology & Coaching Psychology (UEL)
my BSc in Psychology (Panteion University)
my NCPS-accredited Advanced Certificate in Life Coaching
Ongoing training in Art Psychotherapy and creative Approaches to Wellbeing

Session Format & Availability:
Sessions are held online (Zoom). You can book as a one-off mentoring session or as part of a longer coaching plan depending on your goals.
I’m usually available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but I adapt to your schedule when possible.

The first session is exploratory — we get to know your learning style, strengths, and challenges, and map a direction that feels right for you.

If you’re ready to study with more clarity, balance, and confidence — and to grow both academically and personally — I’d be happy to support you.
