Vivian Linos, MS Psychology / Life Coach

I was seeing a traditional practitioner for psychological therapy but was not satisfied with that approach. Then I searched for a Life Coach and found Vivian. We talked on the phone to see if working together might be a good fit and right away I could tell her approach is much more about improving a mostly healthy life, instead of treating ailments. It's been a great journey since the start and each time we meet I come away with new ideas. We talk in a way that's give and take, it's dynamic and a real conversation. Vivian really has a way of seeing patterns and her passion for her work comes through in each session. I would highly recommend Vivian Linos for anyone wanting to get the most from life! More...

Thank you Miriam for your review! It is true, people are increasingly looking for an approach that will push them actively past their past and will anchor them with their best future. It is truly amazing that you took immediate action to find the right approach for you. And this is one of your numerous abilities. Your willingness and determination to pursuit your dreams no matter the obstacles is precious, and sets a great example for all the people that are claiming their best lives. I am so happy for you!

I began writing this review numerous times, but it never got beyond the first 1-2 lines. No matter what came out on paper, it was never adequate to describe what I experienced the last years I have been working with Vivian towards a goal which at the time, seemed impossible but now it has expanded beyond my imagination!
Some experiences cannot be fully described via words, as vital aspects of them might be left out, painting thus, an unfair picture and the work we have done with Vivian is one of these experiences.
Back then my life was a total mess, I was wandering with no destination, aimlessly, literally wasting my time, as well as, this precious gift I was given: my life.
Although I recognized the need to do something for my situation, I hesitated to make a move, because deep inside of me I believed that it was worthless… I was worthless. Misery had become a good friend of mine and I was busy building my own personal drama and living in it in a glorious way! Looking back from where I stand now…. I was really good at it!
At that time, the only action I could perform was to book a session with Vivian and show up… I was very-very broken and confused. After seeing Vivian for 6 months, I started to change and so did everything & everyone else around me. I approached our cooperation with an open mind and will to change… an attitude which you cannot not succeed with!
Our cooperation evolved through various phases, just like a fine red wine. We have dealt with personal issues, family issues, professional issues, spirituality issues and many-many more and when I decided to seek Life Coaching training myself, she was there to support me, with ideas, experience and knowledge. I am deeply impressed until today from the wide spectrum of subjects she is capable of dealing with successfully and with a high standard of performance! Professionally, when we started I was in a Marketing Manager’s position and now I am the CEO of a manufacturing company with exporting presence in 34 countries and Vivian and I, planned and executed this transition together!
Working with a life coach or a therapist, most of the times, the impact of the relationship doesn’t go beyond the point of solving a situation seen as problematic. For those outstanding professionals who stand out of the crowd, it is always something more, because they know that, to really become exceptional, they must “walk their talk” in all aspects and Vivian does exactly that. I gained confidence by observing and receiving her confidence, I learned to think with an open mind by observing her way of thinking. All clients during the sessions, what they primarily do, is to unconsciously model their life coach or therapist. Imagine how vital it is, the model you are modeling, to be an exceptional model!
After a while, my wife also started working with Vivian so we had the chance to work as a family under the same principles and values and this was the wisest decision we ever made and the greater gift to ourselves and to our son who is coming in 2 months! I believe that the birth of this child is the most valuable outcome of this cooperation, and it would not be possible without it for many-many reasons.
I wish everyone has the chance to work with such a skilled professional and loving and caring person as Vivian is. I believe in synchronicity in life and this was a case where the exact time the “student” was ready… the “master” appeared!
Thank you for everything Vivian! More...

Thank you Panos, for such a thorough review that only reflects the way you have approached our partnership. Being overwhelmed by strong emotions and yet maintaining the proper clarity to ask for that kind of help that will support your efforts and ease your way, can be a challenge. And you took a strong stance to shift your life for the better. Working with you was such a blessing! I was captivated by your enlightenment and enthusiasm every time you were exposed to a new way of perceiving yourself and the world around you. I was honoured by your trust, when you asked me to work with your amazing wife (I feel so elated for all the wonderful things you have accomplished together and for your - to be born - son!). I was fascinated by your openness to embrace and explore unfamiliar territories, by your willingness to apply new skills, by your persistence, consistency and depth of your work. I was challenged by your exceptional intelligence and your continuous efforts to expand your knowledge and understanding. Every time you was setting the bar high, I was only happy to follow your lead. Your wide wings were always attached. I was only there to blow the wind that would allow them to grow strong enough for you to fly high. I am really happy for you. Enjoy your flight!

Thank you my beloved Vivian for supporting me,inspiring me,for caring and guiding me through the hard times and challenges of finding and loving myself unconditionally!
Now, every day starts and finishes with a beautiful thought. I feel grateful, privileged and blessed for being alive, healthy and able to see the beauty in everything!
My life is my own little miracle! I am constantly evolving!
The best is yet to come! More...

That's the spirit! I am so happy for you Dimitra. Your journey of discovering your true self, accepting, appreciating and loving who you are, has been remarkable! The results, even more astonishing! Enjoy your good health, your positivity and the empowerment to create your own destiny. Thank you for never stop believing in our partnership, even through the hard times. Thank you for your trust and of course for your review - such an inspiration to all of us: Never stop believing and striving for a better life!

When I decided to visit Vivian I was experiencing a painful dead-end in my life and a deep inner turmoil. From our very second session, Vivian was able to understand what my real, hidden problem was. She helped me conceptualize it and immediately inspired and gently guided me through its solution. I trusted her and let myself absorb all the support and knowledge she had to offer. It turned out that, that was the right thing to do. Soon enough, I was engaged in a way of thinking and acting that helped me work through the solution to my problem. I am proud to say that I have finally managed to free myself from what was blocking me all these years. Now, I am able to experience the relief and inner peace, I was looking for all my life! But that was not all. Words are not enough to express all the benefits I have gained working with her! Vivian's warm and calm personality, coupled with her patience and deep natural empathy, played a key role in my personal success. Finally, I want to mention that my whole life has positively changed in all important aspects and continues to improve even more with hard work and patience from both sides. Vivian, I want to say to you a big THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, for all the things you've helped me understand and achieve. Thank you for being by my side and for helping me put my life into an order, in a way only you know how, in your unique, special way! S.N. More...

Thank you Sophia for your review! The minute I heard your story on our first session, I felt that your life was linked to well hidden causes that were preventing you from experiencing the relief and inner peace you was looking for. It was quite a daring moment for me to present to you an image of your life that you was totally unaware of, but it was totally worth it! Thank you for your trust! Thank you for embarking with me on a journey of self-discovery. Now that you are no longer carry hidden burdens from the past, you are free to enjoy life. I couldn't be happier for you!

I was suffering from panic attacks, I was feeling so low, I couldn't function effectively in my life, nor I was able to enjoy all the pleasures life had to offer. Vivian and I, travelled the journey from darkness into the light of my soul together! Vivian was always by my side, no matter what! Always there to nurture me, to teach me how to love myself, how to set my own boundaries, how to free myself from fear. Vivian guided me through parenthood, and helped me raise my kids! I can go on writing for hours! It has been a fascinating experience working with Vivian! I have achieved everything I hoped to achieve and more! Thank you Vivian! You have become one of the most important people in my life! More...

Wow, after all these years, what a wonderful review Aggeliki, thank you! Every time former clients, like yourself, express their appreciation for the long-lasting effects of our work together, fills my heart with joy. What a privilege, working with you in that journey of enlightenment and growth. Enjoy your life, enjoy your accomplishments!

Some time ago, I found myself in a terrible situation! I had to put an end to a thirteen year old marriage with two children. I cannot begin to describe the pain, the disappointment and the insecurity I was feeling. What was happening to me was beyond my power and even though I had people around me who cared deeply, I was feeling that no one could really understand what I was going through. It was when my sister suggested Vivian. At the beginning I was scared, I had never talked to a professional before and I didn't know what to expect. However, I needed immediate support and guidance for my children - my main concern. I needed to know how to take care of their feelings, how to support and walk them through this major transition, so I followed my sister's advice and I booked a session with Vivian. I was immediately amazed! During our first session we've talked about everything, or at least it felt that way! Vivian provided me with clarity and guidance on the two major issues that were of a great concern to me. I followed her guidance with precision and it was unbelievable how effective she was! And that was just one session! Throughout our work together, Vivian has introduced me to new perspectives and as a result the solutions have become obvious to me. We worked together for 8 moths and after that, occasionally, as needed. During these 8 months Vivian helped me realize who I really am, what I am capable of achieving and how to best utilize my potential. My productivity increased tremendously and as a result, I got promoted. I gained self-confidence and I started a new relationship with an amazing partner. Now, I am happy, my kids are happy, and we are all enjoying feelings of security, love, support and fulfillment. All our world has shifted in an amazingly positive way! I love my new life! I have chosen to trust Vivian and as a result, my life turned awesome! Occasionally, I am still having sessions with Vivian because I like what I am discovering about myself and about my family. I so much enjoy the deeper and more meaningful connection I am developing with people who matter the most to me. I have discovered my true self and my life has improved significantly! I am living a life of dignity and fulfillment. I absolutely and unequivocally recommend Vivian. Thank you Vivian, you are my guarding angel! More...

Thank you so much for this amazing review. I am honored by your trust. It is such a joy seeing you thriving in all aspects of life. Congratulations on your accomplishments! Your dedication and passion to live a life of dignity and fulfillment is exemplary. It is a privilege working with you. Enjoy!

I started having sessions with Vivian 12 years ago, and until today, they continue to be extremely beneficial to me. Back then, I was feeling trapped in a fast evolving life situation that was beyond my control. I had lost sight of my self and of my direction. Vivian's skillful approach and genuine care, inspired and supported me to find the missing parts of my true self and freed me from anything that was burdening me and it was not mine. Her unique ability to understand and interpret my world, empowered me to make the most efficient decisions for myself and for my kids. Vivian's open scope taught me to live my life “my way”, and guided me to make choices aligned with my unique, true self. Because of our work together, I am enjoying every moment of my life! Vivian did not only earned my trust and my respect, she earned my love. More...

What a journey we have been together Sylvia! I so much admire your wisdom to seek help and nurture yourself, anytime you needed it over the years. Thank you for allowing me to stand by your side at the beginning as your psychotherapist in Greece, and as you grew stronger and happier, as your coach and mentor. I am so honored by your trust and dedication. Thank you for keep on sharing with me all your accomplishments and joys. I am truly happy for you and for your exceptional kids.

Sometimes life feels like the most challenging puzzle. It even seems unsolvable. The puzzle peaces? Psychosomatics, panic attacks, anxiety attacks …! So difficult to endure... So scary... Feels like a war zone. And yet, you can win this war! You just need one thing and one thing only; find the right person. And I have found that person, Vivian! When I first started, doubts knocked at my door... I opened them a couple of times, only to realize that they were wrong. Our past and what is familiar to us, always want to remind us of their presence. But, when a garden of roses starts flourishing inside you, who cares about the dead leaves? Working with Vivian makes your feel like you are restarting your life. But this is not a typical restart... I would rather say it feels like, living in inner poverty and you realize that you are capable of living in inner prosperity... And you start growing your inner wealth... Using you own invincible powers... A transformation beyond anything you could imagine! Oh, I could “talk” for hours about my Vivian! You know what? Life has to offer us amazing, priceless gifts! As long as we believe in their existence. Vivian, thank you so much for all the things that I have accomplished, for everything that I have earned and welcomed into my new life. Thank you for showing me how I can stand firmly and confidently on my own two feet. Thank you for showing me how to turn thoughts into actions and actions into a great life! Ifigeneia ❤️ More...
