Κέντρο Ψυχοθεραπείας και Συμβουλευτικής Ενηλίκων.

Η Μανώλια Πάκα είναι ψυχολόγος με άδεια ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος και εκπαιδεύεται στη Γνωσιακή-Συμπεριφορική Ψυχοθεραπεία (CBT). Έχει ολοκληρώσει τις προπτυχιακές της σπουδές στην Ψυχολογία στο Εθνικό και Καποδιστριακό Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών και έχει εξειδικευτεί στην Κοινωνική και Κλινική Ψυχολογία των Εξαρτήσεων.

Έχει αποκτήσει κλινική εμπειρία μέσα από την πρακτική της άσκηση σε νοσοκομειακό πλαίσιο, όπου ασχολήθηκε με τη λήψη ιστορικού, τη χορήγηση και ερμηνεία ψυχομετρικών εργαλείων, καθώς και την αξιολόγηση ψυχολογικών δυσκολιών. Παράλληλα, η επαγγελματική της εμπειρία σε θέσεις που απαιτούν άμεση και ουσιαστική επικοινωνία με ανθρώπους έχει ενισχύσει δεξιότητες όπως η ενσυναίσθηση, η ενεργητική ακρόαση και η αποτελεσματική διαχείριση διαφορετικών αναγκών.

Στο θεραπευτικό της έργο δίνει έμφαση στη δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς, σταθερού και υποστηρικτικού πλαισίου, όπου κάθε άτομο μπορεί να εκφράζεται ελεύθερα, να κατανοεί καλύτερα τις δυσκολίες του και να εργάζεται συνεργατικά προς την κατεύθυνση της αλλαγής. Προσεγγίζει κάθε άνθρωπο με σεβασμό στη μοναδικότητα και την προσωπικότητά του, προσαρμόζοντας τη θεραπευτική διαδικασία στις ιδιαίτερες ανάγκες και στόχους του.

Ο χώρος αποτελεί ένα ασφαλές και συμπεριληπτικό περιβάλλον (safe space) για LGBTQ+ άτομα, με σεβασμό στη διαφορετικότητα, την ταυτότητα και την προσωπική έκφραση κάθε ατόμου.

Manolia Paka is a licensed psychologist based in Athens and currently training in Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy (CBT). She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, along with additional specialization in Social and Clinical Psychology of Addiction.

She has gained clinical experience through her internship in a hospital setting, where she was involved in clinical interviewing, the administration and interpretation of psychometric assessments, and the evaluation of psychological difficulties. Her professional experience in roles requiring direct and meaningful communication with people has also strengthened her skills in empathy, active listening, and effectively responding to individual needs.

In her therapeutic work, she focuses on creating a safe, stable, and supportive environment where individuals can express themselves openly, develop a better understanding of their difficulties, and work collaboratively toward meaningful change. She approaches each person with respect for their individuality and tailors the therapeutic process to their specific needs and goals.

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. Role-playing to better prepare for potentially problematic interactions with others. You become your own self-therapist.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

What it is

It is a form of psychotherapy that teaches a person to identify negative thought patterns and change them. DBT reinforces the acceptance that all your thoughts are valid, as they are part of your life experiences and who you are. The person acts by doing the best they can for the moment. 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.

mental health

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

Systemic psychotherapy is an approach about how the individual acts as part of a wider group or broader system of relationships: family, partner relationship, work, friendships, and social environment. This approach connects communication and interaction patterns with a problem or a difficulty that the individual may be experiencing.

Approach

Systemic psychotherapy identifies behavioral patterns within a persons’ relationships and in the way someone connects with others. 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.
