About the specialist

Η Αλεξοπούλου Άννα είναι Ψυχαναλύτρια-Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια και διατηρεί ιδιωτικά γραφεία στo Παρίσι και στην Αθήνα, όπου δέχεται ενήλικες και παιδιά. Είναι απόφοιτος του ιστορικού και μοναδικού τμήματος Ψυχανάλυσης παγκοσμίως στο Παρίσι (Master), Université Paris VIII Vincennes-Saint Denis, το οποίο ίδρυσε ο διάσημος ψυχαναλυτής και ψυχίατρος Jacques Lacan, και του ΦΠΨ (Kατεύθυνση Ψυχολογίας). Ειδικεύτηκε σε ψυχιατρικά νοσοκομεία και σε κέντρα ψυχολογικής υποστήριξης του Παρισιού για ενήλικες, γονείς, παιδιά και βρέφη. Συμμετέχει από το 2013 στην κλινική ομάδα της École de la Cause freudienne de Paris, όπου και εκπαιδεύτηκε δίπλα σε ψυχαναλυτές παγκοσμίου φήμης. Συνεργάζεται μαζί τους τα τελευταία χρόνια ως διοργανωτής σεμιναρίων και συνεδριών της ECF στο Παρίσι και της Παγκόσμιας Εταιρείας Ψυχανάλυσης (Association Mondiale de Psychanalyse). Στόχος της είναι η ανάδειξη της ενικότητας του συμπτώματος και της μοναδικότητας (της επιθυμίας) του κάθε υποκειμένου. Αντιμετωπίζει περιστατικά κατάθλιψης, τραυματικές εμπειρίες, κρίσεις πανικού και φοβίες, πένθος, αγχώδεις διαταραχές, προβλήματα διαπροσωπικών σχέσεων, θεραπεία ζεύγους, συμβουλευτική γονέων και παιδιών, παιδικό αυτισμό, αντιμετώπιση εθισμών και εξαρτήσεων. Συμμετέχει τακτικά σε συνέδρια στο εξωτερικό και μελέτες της έχουν δημοσιευτεί σε ξενόγλωσσα περιοδικά πάνω στο «ανησυχητικά ανοίκειο» συναίσθημα του S.Freud, την γλωσσική δομή του ασυνειδήτου, την διωκτική εμβέλεια του βλέμματος, την παραληρηματική δομή της γλώσσας, τις παραισθήσεις, τις ψυχοσωματικές διαταραχές, τη σχέση μελαγχολίας και μετουσίωσης, καθώς και την σχέση λογοτεχνίας και τρέλας. Οι συνεδρίες με παιδιά και εφήβους περιλαμβάνουν αρχικά προκαταρκτικές συνεδρίες με τους γονείς για να διευκρινιστούν οι δυσκολίες που αντιμετωπίζει το παιδί τους. Η υποστήριξη και η καθοδήγηση των γονιών είναι στόχος των συνεδριών. Oρισμένα γεγονότα, όπως δυσκολίες των νέων γονιών με το βρέφος, διαζύγιο, πένθος, δυσκολίες στο σχολικό περιβάλλον, συχνά περιλαμβάνουν συμπτώματα, όπως δυσκολία συγκέντρωσης, φοβίες, άγχος, μελαγχολικές σκέψεις, διαταραχές διατροφής και ύπνου, δυσκολίες στις διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις. Οι συνεδρίες με παιδιά και βρέφη λαμβάνουν χώρα μέσα από το παιχνίδι, με βάση το πρότυπο της ψυχαναλυτικής προσέγγισης της Françoise Dolto, πρωτοπόρος στην ψυχαναναλυτική θεραπεία παίδων, όπου αντιμετωπίζονται ως μοναδικά υποκείμενα.

Κατά τη διάρκεια της εκπαίδευσής μου, πραγματοποίησα πρακτική άσκηση στο Δρομοκαΐτειο καθώς και σε Κέντρο Ψυχικής Υγείας για Παιδιά και Εφήβους.

Είμαι Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια, έχοντας ολοκληρώσει το τετραετές πρόγραμμα ειδίκευσης στη Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Κέντρο Εφαρμοσμένης Ψυχοθεραπείας & Συμβουλευτικής.

Συμμετείχα ως ομιλήτρια στο 5ο Πανελλήνιο Ιατρικό Συνέδριο Ψυχοσωματικής Ιατρικής (Ναύπλιο, 21-23 Οκτωβρίου 2022), παρουσιάζοντας την «Ψυχοθεραπευτική αντιμετώπιση των αγχωδών διαταραχών συνεπεία του COVID-19».

Στην ψυχοθεραπευτική μου πρακτική αντιμετωπίζω αγχώδεις διαταραχές, προβλήματα διαπροσωπικών σχέσεων, χαμηλή αυτοεκτίμηση, τραύμα, ψυχοσωματικά συμπτώματα, διαχείριση θυμού, ενδοοικογενειακή βία, ενδυνάμωση LGBTQI+ ατόμων, συναισθηματικές διαταραχές και ψυχώσεις.

Εστιάζω στη δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς και υποστηρικτικού χώρου, όπου οι άνθρωποι μπορούν να εξερευνήσουν τα συναισθήματά τους, να αναγνωρίσουν τις ανάγκες τους και να καλλιεργήσουν μια υγιή και αυθεντική έκφραση του εαυτού τους, ανεξαρτήτως ηλικίας ή προσωπικής ιστορίας.

Μεγαλώνοντας είχε πάντα την ανάγκη να καταλάβει και να εξερευνήσει πως οι άνθρωποι έρχονται σε επαφή με τα συναισθήματά τους,τι είναι αυτό που τα ορίζει καθώς και πως θα συμπεριφερθούν και αντιδράσουν. Στη συνέχεια ανακάλυψε ότι σε όλα αυτά τα ερωτήματα μπορεί να δώσει απαντήσεις η διαδικασία της Ψυχοθεραπείας. Κατέχει Μεταπτυχιακό Τίτλο Σπουδών (MSc) στην “Εφαρμοσμένη Αναπτυξιακή Ψυχολογία” και μέσα από την εμπειρία της της δόθηκε η δυνατότητα να διαχειρίζεται και να αντιμετωπίζει προβλήματα ψυχικής υγείας.

Τέλος,είναι εγγεγραμμένο μέλος στον Σύνδεσμο Κοινωνικών Λειτουργών Ελλάδος και μέλος της EFTA. Ο φόβος είναι ένα εύλογο συναίσθημα στην αρχή της θεραπείας, αλλά με τον κατάλληλο θεραπευτή, μέσα σε ένα ασφαλές πλαίσιο, μπορούν να φωτιστούν όλα τα σκοτεινά σημεία, να κατανοηθούν άγνωστες πλευρές του εαυτού μας και να δοκιμαστούν νέοι τρόποι σκέψης και συμπεριφοράς.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
