About the specialist

Η Γεωργία Σαλάκου είναι Ψυχολόγος με άδεια ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος και απόφοιτη του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Παντείου Πανεπιστημίου. Διατηρεί ιδιωτικό χώρο, όπου παρέχει ατομικές συνεδρίες σε ενήλικες και εφήβους.

Εκπαιδεύεται στη Συνθετική Ψυχοθεραπεία στα Σύγχρονα Αμφιαράεια σε συνεργασία με το Πανεπιστήμιο Κρήτης. Παράλληλα, έχει ολοκληρώσει μονοετή εκπαίδευση στο Ψυχικό Τραύμα και την Ψυχική Ανθεκτικότητα, καθώς και επιμορφώσεις στο Mindfulness και στη Σωματική Ψυχοθεραπεία. Η συνεχής επιστημονική κατάρτιση και η κλινική εποπτεία αποτελούν σταθερά στοιχεία της επαγγελματικής της εξέλιξης.

Η επαγγελματική της εμπειρία περιλαμβάνει συνεργασίες με τον ΟΚΑΝΑ και τη Μέριμνα, καθώς και με το Κέντρο Ημέρας «Franco Basaglia» της Εταιρείας Περιφερειακής Ανάπτυξης και Ψυχικής Υγείας (Ε.Π.Α.Ψ.Υ.). Παράλληλα, έχει εργαστεί σε σχολικό πλαίσιο, αποκτώντας εμπειρία στην ψυχολογική υποστήριξη παιδιών και εφήβων. Η εμπειρία της περιλαμβάνει ακόμη τη συμβουλευτική γονέων, την ψυχολογική αξιολόγηση και την υποστήριξη παιδιών με διαφορετικές αναπτυξιακές και συναισθηματικές ανάγκες. Έχει επίσης συνεργαστεί με ψυχαναλυτικό γραφείο, συμμετέχοντας σε κλινική πρακτική και εποπτεία.

Η θεραπευτική της προσέγγιση βασίζεται στις αρχές της Συνθετικής Ψυχοθεραπείας, η οποία αντλεί στοιχεία από διαφορετικές ψυχοθεραπευτικές κατευθύνσεις και επιτρέπει τη διαμόρφωση της θεραπευτικής διαδικασίας με βάση τις ανάγκες, την προσωπικότητα και τη μοναδική ιστορία κάθε ανθρώπου. Δίνει ιδιαίτερη σημασία στην κατανόηση όχι μόνο των δυσκολιών που εμφανίζονται στο παρόν, αλλά και των βαθύτερων συναισθηματικών και σχεσιακών μοτίβων που μπορεί να επαναλαμβάνονται στη ζωή του ατόμου. Η διερεύνηση προηγούμενων εμπειριών και σημαντικών σχέσεων μπορεί να συμβάλει στην κατανόηση του τρόπου με τον οποίο σχετιζόμαστε σήμερα με τους άλλους και με τον εαυτό μας.

Κεντρική θέση στη θεραπευτική της δουλειά έχει η σχέση που διαμορφώνεται ανάμεσα στον θεραπευόμενο και τον θεραπευτή. Μέσα σε ένα πλαίσιο ασφάλειας, αποδοχής και εμπιστοσύνης, ο θεραπευόμενος έχει τον χώρο να εκφράσει και να διερευνήσει ελεύθερα όσα τον απασχολούν, ακόμη και όταν αυτά δεν είναι εύκολο να κατανοηθούν ή να αποτυπωθούν σε λέξεις.

Στόχος της θεραπευτικής διαδικασίας είναι η βαθύτερη κατανόηση του εαυτού, των αναγκών και των τρόπων με τους οποίους το άτομο σχετίζεται και αντιμετωπίζει τις εμπειρίες της ζωής του. Μέσα από αυτή τη διαδικασία μπορεί σταδιακά να επεξεργαστεί τις δυσκολίες που το απασχολούν και να αναπτύξει νέους, περισσότερο λειτουργικούς τρόπους κατανόησης και διαχείρισής τους.

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.

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

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.
