Foteini (Faye) Kanaloupiti
Psychologist
"You can look in the mirror and you can find a million things that you do not like about yourself. Or you can feel good and blessed. Someone told me: “Therapists are like mirrors, they always reflect people’s thoughts and feelings.” This is the way that I feel about being a therapist.
My goal is to reflect and guide people in need towards change and self-growth.
I was always charmed by human mind and behavior and this is the reason why being a therapist was a conscious choice that I made.
I graduated from Groningen University on 2017 and I am specialized in Clinical Psychology (Leiden University, Master of Science). I first met Vassia Sarantopoulou as my supervisor within my clinical internship. Antiloneliness intrigued a great interest in me, as I find its mission -our mission- the ultimate goal for a psychotherapist: help people stay connected, be supported and reach a balanced state between mind and heart.
From now on, I consider this mission as one of my personal and professional goals.
Among my interests are various issues concerning LGBTQ community, sex therapy, and trauma.
Lastly, I keep expanding my knowledge by being trained in new approaches, studying and being updated by research and having Vassia as a mentor through a new professional and personal path of my life."

My interns
Helena Virk
Clinical Psychology Intern
"My journey to become an intern in the Antiloneliness Project has taken many turns to arrive at this destination. Formerly, I was a Chartered Forensic Psychologist in the UK, and moved to The Netherlands over five years ago. I have always had a keen interest in psychology; why we behave in certain ways, what makes us different, what influences our thinking and emotions, and what can be done to help others. Recently, I rekindled my relationship with psychology when I started to study Clinical Psychology at the University of Leiden. I have no regrets. I am keen to learn new theories, skills, techniques, and practices to support and help others. I will continue this developmental process through my internship at the Antiloneliness Project."
Giorgos Zachariadis
Clinical Psychology Intern
"After my graduation from the department of psychology from the University of Rotterdam, I immediately realized that the profession of clinical therapy is what suits me the best. I decided to remain in the Netherlands and pursue my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of Utrecht. Today, I perform my internship alongside Vassia Sarantopoulou at the AntiLoneliness office in Leiden. My interest in handling personal disputes in cases of anxiety and depression is never-ending. Thus, I believe that I will further expand my knowledge in the field of human cognition, emotions, and behaviors. Consequently, it is my ambition to evolve into an experienced psychotherapist with respect to the fellow man and his confidentiality."
