Why he is suitable for you

Ο Χρήστος Κανάνα είναι Ψυχοθεραπευτής και Ψυχαναλυτής Ομάδας με διεπιστημονικό υπόβαθρο και εμπειρία στην ψυχοθεραπεία, την παιδική προστασία και τη συμβουλευτική υποστήριξη.

Απόφοιτος από το Τμήμα Φιλοσοφίας Παιδαγωγικής και Ψυχολογίας του Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών, ολοκλήρωσε την πενταετή μεταπτυχιακή του εκπαίδευση στην ψυχοθεραπεία στο Ινστιτούτο Ομαδικής Ανάλυσης Αθηνών, ενώ παράλληλα έκανε την κλινική του άσκηση στο Ανοικτό Ψυχοθεραπευτικό Κέντρο (2019 - 2024), με το οποίο ξεκίνησε άμεσα να συνεργάζεται ως Ψυχαναλυτής Ομάδας, στο Τμήμα Θεραπείας Ενηλίκων και στην Θεραπευτική Κοινότητα.

Παράλληλα, συνεργάζεται με τον Αθηναϊκό Καλλιτεχνικό Τεχνολογικό Αθηναϊκό Όμιλο (ΑΚΤΟ the art & design College) ως Υπεύθυνος του Κέντρου Συμβουλευτικής από το 2023, ενώ από 2024 διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στο Παγκράτι.

Στο παρελθόν έχει δραστηριοποιηθεί σε διαφορετικά πλαίσια ψυχικής υγείας και κοινωνικής φροντίδας. Ξεκίνησε ως εθελοντής στο θεραπευτικό προσωπικό του ΚΕΘΕΑ ΠΙΛΟΤΟΣ, στο Βόλο (2016–2017), εργάστηκε στη SolidarityNow ως Κοινωνικός Επιστήμονας με κύριο αντικείμενο την παιδική προστασία στο προσφυγικό (2019–2021) και την ψυχοκοινωνική υποστήριξη ασυνόδευτων ανήλικων προσφύγων και μονογονεϊκών οικογενειών.

Η θεραπευτική του προσέγγιση βασίζεται στις αρχές της Ομαδικής Ανάλυσης, η οποία εστιάζει στη δυναμική των διαπροσωπικών σχέσεων και στην καθοριστική επίδραση της στην εμπειρία του ατόμου. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, επικεντρώνεται στην κατανόηση του ατόμου μέσα στο κοινωνικό του δίκτυο, αναγνωρίζοντας ότι και οι συναισθηματικές δυσκολίες – αλλά και οι αλλαγές – προκύπτουν συχνά μέσα από τον τρόπο που σχετιζόμαστε και επικοινωνούμε.

Είναι ενεργό μέλος της Group Analytic Society International (GASi) και συμμετέχει τακτικά σε εθνικά και διεθνή συνέδρια, με επίκεντρο την ομαδική ανάλυση, την ψυχική υγεία και τις σύγχρονες προκλήσεις στην ψυχοθεραπεία. Παράλληλα, λαμβάνει μέρος σε σεμινάρια και εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα που αφορούν στην ΛΟΑΤΚΙ+ κοινότητα, με ιδιαίτερη έμφαση σε θέματα ταυτότητας φύλου, σεξουαλικότητας αλλά και έμφυλων ζητημάτων.

Εξαιρετικός επαγγελματίας, με έκανε να νιώσω άνετα από την πρώτη στιγμή. Με βοήθησε ουσιαστικά να κατανοήσω καλύτερα τον εαυτό μου και να διαχειριστώ δύσκολες καταστάσεις. Τον συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα!

Approach

Identifying the distortions in a person's thinking that are causing problems and then examining these in the light of reality. Understanding the behaviour and motivations of others and using problem-solving skills to deal with difficult situations. Dealing with fears rather than avoiding them.

It is a form of psychotherapy that teaches a person to identify negative thought patterns and change them.

It is used for people with suicidal behavior, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorder, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety.

Approach

DBT focuses on acceptance and change. It helps the person to get to know themselves better, to think about why they do what they do, without judgment. Replacing a negative behavior or habit with ones that can improve the quality of life. Dialectic is the idea that two different things can be true at the same time. At the same time as accepting yourself exactly as you are, comes the recognition of your effort to change.

How it could benefit you

What it is

Humanistic therapy is a form of psychotherapy in which self-awareness and self-acceptance are considered the keys to personal growth. It emphasizes creativity, collaboration and interaction between the individual and the therapist, using techniques such as role-play.

Approach

Each person is a combination of mind, emotions, body and soul with unique experiences and events. No single life event, personality trait or psychological diagnosis defines you.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy
mental health

What it is

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is talk therapy that aims to understand current thoughts and feelings through the behaviours shaped by past experiences and the past. Understanding the past can help you avoid repeating unhelpful patterns that have existed in it and facilitate your quality of life alongside relief from distressing symptoms. It is used in depression, anxiety, interpersonal problems, addictions, trauma, eating disorders, personality disorder.

Approach

Psychodynamic psychotherapy provides a space to explore and understand how unhelpful patterns from the past may be influencing our current difficulties. Defence mechanisms are explored and how our feelings and behaviours in the present are shaped by our past experiences.

How it could benefit you

It helps people to live a healthier life. There may be things in a person's unconscious that they are not aware of that cause them pain or keep them stuck in the past. Identifying these and understanding them can lead you to move forward.

Systemic psychotherapy
mental health

What it is

It is applicable to family conflict/problems, family dynamics, child and adolescent behaviour problems, addictions, anger management, mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders.

Approach

Therapy seeks to identify deep-rooted patterns within the individual's relationships and with group members. The process helps to uncover the ways in which members communicate and behave within a system, based on beliefs about their respective roles. Circular questions, narrative techniques, reframing and restructuring are used.

How it could benefit you

It helps to understand and improve the dynamics within the family and relationships. Changes dysfunctional patterns of communication and behaviour in the system, enhances empathy, helps build stronger relationships and pushes the team to overcome their problems.
