Έχει εργαστεί εκτενώς με εξαρτημένο πληθυσμό, για σειρά ετών, σε κέντρο υποστήριξης εξαρτημένων, με θεραπευτικό μοντέλο βασισμένο στα 12 Βήματα των Ανώνυμων Αλκοολικών, όπου κάλυπτε ανάγκες ατομικής και ομαδικής συμβουλευτικής. Απέκτησε πληθώρα εμπειρίας μέσα και από άλλες συνεργασίες με θεραπευτικά κέντρα έχοντας εκτός από θεραπευτικά και διοικητικά καθήκοντα.

Ο εθισμός πέρα από την ξεκάθαρη μορφή των ουσιών ή του αλκοόλ, μπορεί να πάρει πολλές μορφές (συνεξάρτηση, internet, porn, τροφή ) στις ζωές όλων μας, σε διαφορετικά διαστήματα.

Μέσα από τα χρόνια που απασχολείται στην ψυχική υγεία θεωρεί ξεκάθαρο ότι χρειάζεται να υπάρχει αγάπη προς τις ατελείς και πονεμένες ανθρώπινες πλευρές αλλά και να καλλιεργείται η πίστη ότι η αλλαγή μέσω της ΣΥΝ-ΠΡΑΞΗΣ είναι εφικτή. Επιπρόσθετα, η διαδρομή του στην προσωπική του θεραπεία, το θάρρος, η κατάθεσης ψυχής, η προοδευτικά αυξανόμενη ειλικρίνεια και η αποεπένδυση του μίγματος ενοχών και ντροπής, λειτούργησε σαν να έχει αφαιρεθεί βάρος από την ψυχή του και εν δυνάμει, αυτό μπορεί να προσφερθεί σε όποιον/α επιθυμεί να υπάρξει και να δουλέψει μέσα στο θεραπευτικό δωμάτιο. Τέλος, παρέχει ατομικές συνεδρίες συμβουλευτικής και ψυχοθεραπείας, βασισμένες στο συνθετικό μοντέλο που απαντούν σε θεραπευτικά αιτήματα με εκδηλώσεις στο άγχος, τις φοβίες, τις κρίσεις πανικού, την κατάθλιψη, το πένθος και την απώλεια, υπαρξιακά δεδομένα, δυσλειτουργικές πεποιθήσεις,  χαμηλή αντίληψη εαυτού και αυτοεικόνας, χρήση ή κατάχρηση ουσιών, συνεξάρτηση, μεταβολές ζωής και αντίσταση στην αλλαγή, διαταραχές άγχους και  προσωπικότητας (σε συνεργασία με τον/την εκάστοτε ψυχίατρο από τον/την οποίο/α παρακολουθείται ο θεραπευόμενος).

Dimitris Aggelopoulos is a psychotherapist and educator specializing in Group Analysis. In his private practice, located in the center of Athens, he provides individual and group psychotherapy to individuals facing challenges in their personal lives, relationships, or mental health. His goal is not only the relief of symptoms, but also the emergence of each unique individual and the discovery of new ways of behavior and perception, focusing on healthy relationships and a sense of fulfillment.

He firmly believes that psychological difficulties are not solely individual problems, but mirrors of society, the relationships, and the groups within which we live and interact. Through Group Analysis, he utilizes the function of the group to facilitate the revealing of hidden aspects of the self, offering honest feedback and creating a space where individuals can express themselves freely, without fear of judgment. The group operates as a microcosm of relationships – a dynamic reality in which changes do not remain theoretical, but significantly impact the members’ broader lives.

Dimitris Aggelopoulos fosters an environment of safety and trust, where each person has the opportunity to face their challenges and cultivate the distinctive characteristics of their personality. Psychotherapy is not a luxury, but a vital investment in the relationship with ourselves and others.
