Myrto Levidi is a licensed Psychologist in Greece and a registered Psychologist in Australia (AHPRA). She maintains a private practice in Glyfada, Athens, and has clinical and research experience in Australia, where she completed a significant part of her education and worked across various mental health settings.

She holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology & Counselling from Teesside University, a Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) with First Class Honours from Charles Sturt University, Australia, and a Master of Psychology (Clinical Psychology) from the Cairnmillar Institute in Melbourne.

Education & Training in Metabolic Health

Myrto's interest in the relationship between nutrition, metabolic health and psychological functioning began even before her studies in Psychology. She initially completed one year of studies in Nutrition and Dietetics at the Hellenic Mediterranean University before pursuing her career in Psychology.

She has since continued to develop her academic interest in nutrition and its relationship with mental health.

Her particular focus lies in the emerging field of Metabolic Psychiatry, exploring the role of metabolic function in mental health and the potential of nutritional and metabolic interventions as adjunctive approaches in the management of psychiatric disorders.

She has completed specialised training in the therapeutic application of ketogenic diets for mental health with psychiatrist Dr Georgia Ede, focusing on the relationship between nutrition, metabolic function and brain health.

In September 2026, she completed an educational programme at Harvard Medical School focused on the relationship between metabolic and mental health. The programme featured leading researchers and clinicians in the field, including psychiatrist Dr Christopher Palmer.

Her scientific interests centre on understanding mental health through a broader perspective that considers not only psychological symptoms but also factors such as nutrition, metabolism, brain function and lifestyle.

Dynamical Neurofeedback & Brain Training

Myrto has trained in NeurOptimal® Dynamical Neurofeedback® through the Zengar Institute and provides brain training sessions focused on general wellness.

She is a certified NeurOptimal® Instructor, a NeurOptimal® Representative in Greece, and co-founder of Brainiacs Brain Training.

Psychotherapeutic Approach

Myrto has also completed specialised training in trauma therapy using EMDR through TACT Hellas and is a full member of EMDR Hellas.

Her therapeutic approach is integrative and individualised, drawing on contemporary psychotherapeutic models and interventions, including:

-Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
-Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
-Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

She places particular emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, understanding each individual's unique needs and selecting appropriate psychotherapeutic interventions.

Her scientific interest in Metabolic Psychiatry and Nutrition complements this approach, allowing her to consider factors that may influence mental health from a broader, interdisciplinary perspective.

Clinical & Research Experience

Myrto completed two years of supervised clinical training in Melbourne across psychiatric services, schools and private clinics, with a focus on anxiety disorders, depression and personality disorders.

She maintains an active involvement in academia through research activities and collaborations with Australian universities. She has contributed to the authorship and publication of scientific studies in international peer-reviewed journals.

Her research interests include the relationship between metabolic health and psychological functioning, as well as anxiety, depression, personality and behaviour.

Corporate Mental Health & Education

Alongside her clinical practice, Myrto collaborates with companies and organisations, providing training in psychological resilience, mindfulness and Psychological First Aid (PFA), and contributing to workplace mental health programmes.

She also facilitates personal development and parenting groups, with an emphasis on empathetic approaches and attachment parenting principles.

Her clinical experience enables her to support adults, adolescents and children experiencing a range of psychological difficulties, including anxiety, stress, depression, grief, interpersonal difficulties and emotional regulation challenges.

Where appropriate, she collaborates with other healthcare professionals to provide coordinated and comprehensive support.
