Nikos Marinos
Psychologist · Psychodynamic Psychotherapist · Author · Paris
I am a psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist working in Paris. My practice is rooted in relational psychoanalytic thought — the conviction that what happens between people, including between therapist and client, is where the real work of change takes place.
I work in English, French, and Greek, with individuals and couples, in person and online. A significant part of my practice is international.
I am also the author of several works at the intersection of clinical practice and literary thought, and the founder of the Relational Integrity framework.

The consulting room is not a neutral space. It is a site of encounter — one in which both people are changed by what takes place between them. I take that seriously, in both directions.
