Why she is suitable for you

Η Γιαννάκη Μαρία,MSc είναι Αδειούχος Ψυχολόγος με έδρα τη Θεσσαλονίκη και παρέχει διαδικτυακές συνεδρίες συμβουλευτικής και ψυχολογικής υποστήριξης σε ενήλικες. Η θεραπευτική της φιλοσοφία βασίζεται στην ενσυναίσθηση, τη συμπερίληψη και την άνευ όρων αποδοχή. Στόχος της είναι η δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς και υποστηρικτικού θεραπευτικού χώρου για κάθε άνθρωπο, ανεξαρτήτως του προσωπικού ή κοινωνικού του υπόβαθρου.Πιστεύει ότι η ψυχική ευημερία προάγεται μέσα από την κατανόηση του εαυτού στο πλαίσιο των διαπροσωπικών σχέσεων και των κοινωνικών συνθηκών. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, προσεγγίζει την ανθρώπινη εμπειρία με γνώμονα την απο-παθολογικοποίηση, αντιμετωπίζοντας το σύμπτωμα όχι ως μια ατομική «ασθένεια», αλλά ως μια φυσική ανταπόκριση στις πιέσεις και τις προκλήσεις του περιβάλλοντος. Για τον λόγο αυτό εκπαιδεύεται εξειδικευμένα στη Συστημική Θεραπεία και Συμβουλευτική.Είναι κάτοχος μεταπτυχιακού τίτλου σπουδών (MSc) στο Ποινικό Δίκαιο και τις Εξαρτήσεις από το Αριστοτέλειο Πανεπιστήμιο Θεσσαλονίκης. Η επαγγελματική της ταυτότητα έχει διαμορφωθεί μέσα από την πολυετή ενασχόλησή της με την κοινοτική παρέμβαση και την ψυχοκοινωνική υποστήριξη ευάλωτων πληθυσμών. Έχει εργαστεί εκτενώς σε προγράμματα Streetwork, παρέχοντας υπηρεσίες μείωσης της βλάβης και ψυχοκοινωνικής υποστήριξης σε άτομα που κάνουν ενδοφλέβια χρήση ουσιών, καθώς και σε άτομα που εργάζονται στη βιομηχανία του σεξ.Παράλληλα, έχει ασχοληθεί ενεργά με θέματα σεξουαλικής υγείας, εστιάζοντας στην πρόληψη, την ενημέρωση και την ευαισθητοποίηση γύρω από τον HIV, με κύριο στόχο τη μείωση του κοινωνικού στίγματος και την προαγωγή της ισότιμης πρόσβασης στην ενημέρωση και τη φροντίδα.Επιπλέον, έχει προσφέρει εθελοντικά τις υπηρεσίες της στον Σύλλογο «Λάμψη», συμβάλλοντας στη δημιουργική απασχόληση παιδιών και εφήβων με νεοπλασματικές ασθένειες στην Παιδιατρική Ογκολογική Κλινική του ΑΧΕΠΑ, ενισχύοντας την ψυχοκοινωνική τους υποστήριξη μέσα από δημιουργικές δραστηριότητες.

What it is

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy applied to problems such as depression, anxiety disorders, abuse, relationship and marriage problems, eating disorders and serious mental illness.The therapist emphasizes what is happening in the current life rather than the past and what led to the difficulties.

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.

What it is

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.

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

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

What it is

It helps the individual understand themselves more effectively, along with their roles and communication style and supports them in developing more functional ways of thinking and communicating within their system.

How it could benefit you

It helps improve understanding of relationship and family dynamics. It can change dysfunctional communication and behavior patterns within the system, strengthen empathy, support the development of stronger relationships and help with managing conflicts and difficulties.
