You might have arrived here because you are considering psychotherapy or coaching – perhaps to heal, find your way through a difficult period, make sense of a transition, or develop a skill in your life or work. Choosing someone to work with can feel overwhelming. Long lists of professionals and similar-sounding profiles do not always help you recognise the person with whom you might be able to explore your experience, deepen your awareness and discover new possibilities for meaning change.
Εspecially if you are considering working with me, what I can offer is my full and thoughtful presence. I work relationally, ethically and with compassion, attending not only to what you bring, but also to how we meet and what emerges between us. My practice has been shaped by many years of work, extensive training, teaching and supervision, as well as by the continuing experience of being changed by life itself.
So with that in mind let me introduce myself. My name is Naoum Liotas, and I am a London-based psychotherapist, executive and business coach, and supervisor. My path has not been linear: it has taken me from engineering and organisational life into coaching, psychotherapy, teaching and supervision. Along the way I have encounter obstacles, limits and redirections – some that stopped me for a time and others that opened unexpected paths. This has taught me that development is not always about becoming someone new. It can also be about meeting more fully who we already are. That understanding lies at the heart of my work: helping people attend to the here and now, recognising what is asking to change, and live with greater freedom, meaning and vitality.
So what are your options right now?
- You can learn more about psychotherapy or coaching
- You can find out what to expect when you book an appointment with me
- You can see a brochure I prepared for the services I provide
- You can have a look at the case studies available (by scrolling down) or
- You can book a session or ask me a question by contacting me.
I do hope I will be providing you with the support you may require at this point in your life.

This woman was facing a crisis in her life as a survivor of cancer as well as surviving a betrayal from her partner in ways that are not of interest to us here.
