Η εμπειρία μου με την Κ.Ρφαέλλα ήταν εξαιρετική. Από την πρώτη συνεδρία ένιωσα εμπιστοσύνη και κατανόηση, κάτι που με βοήθησε να εκφραστώ ελεύθερα. Δείχνει πραγματικό ενδιαφέρον, ακούει προσεκτικά και παρέχει καθοδήγηση με σαφήνεια και επαγγελματισμό. Με βοήθησε να δω καταστάσεις από μια νέα οπτική, να αναγνωρίσω μοτίβα συμπεριφοράς και να αναπτύξω τρόπους διαχείρισης των συναισθημάτων μου. Οι συναντήσεις δεν ήταν απλώς θεωρητικές· υπήρχαν πάντα πρακτικά παραδείγματα και χρήσιμες τεχνικές που μπορούσα να εφαρμόσω στην καθημερινότητα. Η υποστήριξη που προσφέρει είναι συνεχής και ουσιαστική, την συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα σε όποιον αναζητά ουσιαστική ψυχολογική υποστήριξη.

Η κ. Σαρτζετάκη είναι μια εξαιρετική επαγγελματίας, με βαθιά κατανόηση και ανθρώπινη προσέγγιση. Από την πρώτη στιγμή με έκανε να νιώσω ασφάλεια και άνεση, κάτι που μου επέτρεψε να ανοιχτώ και να μιλήσω ελεύθερα. Με στήριξε ουσιαστικά, με καθοδήγησε με ηρεμία και σεβασμό, και μέσα σε σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα παρατήρησα σημαντική βελτίωση στα συναισθήματα και στη σκέψη μου. Την συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα σε όποιον επιθυμεί πραγματική στήριξη και θετική αλλαγή στη ζωή του.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
mental health

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.

How it could benefit you

Helps the individual to change dysfunctional thought patterns and behaviors. Improves your functioning and quality of life by helping to change patterns and behaviours. Teaches you to be your own self-therapist.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
mental health

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

It helps you make positive changes in the way you act. It identifies your negative thought patterns and changes them, helping to make positive changes in the way you act. Teaches you ways to manage intense emotions and stressful thoughts when they occur.

Humanistic psychotherapy
mental health

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.

How it could benefit you

It improves self-awareness and self-confidence, helps you understand how your past affects your present, how to deal effectively with stressful situations, improves human relationships and helps you better manage your emotions.

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

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.
