Why she is suitable for you

Anna Maria Sapountzaki is a Psychologist holding an MSc in Clinical Psychology and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies. Her academic and professional interests lie at the intersection of psychology, philosophy, and art, with a particular focus on how individuals experience, understand, and make meaning of themselves and the world around them.

Her clinical training and experience encompass psychological assessment, counselling, psychotherapy, and psychoeducation, as well as participation in individual and group therapeutic interventions. She has worked with people across different age groups and with a wide range of psychological needs in educational settings, psychosocial support programmes, and psychosocial rehabilitation facilities. Her therapeutic approach is primarily based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, while remaining open to different therapeutic perspectives according to each individual’s needs and personal journey.

She views psychotherapy as a collaborative process that allows individuals to explore their personal experiences, understand their emotions and difficulties, and discover new ways of making meaning of and managing them. Her aim is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space in which each person’s unique life story is acknowledged and serves as a starting point for deeper understanding and meaningful change. She provides sessions in both Greek and English.

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 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.

It is used in depression, anxiety, interpersonal problems, addictions, trauma, eating disorders, personality disorder.

Approach

mental health

What it is

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.
