About the specialist

Η Φόλλα Αικατερίνη είναι Ψυχολόγος - Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια, διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στην Σταυρούπολη και είναι μέλος του Συλλόγου Ελλήνων Ψυχολόγων. Είναι απόφοιτος Ψυχολογίας του CITY College, International Faculty of the University of Sheffield, όπου ολοκλήρωσε τις σπουδές της το 2021. Κατά τη διάρκεια των σπουδών της, ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον παρουσίασε για τον τρόπο με τον οποίο το κοινωνικό και περιβαλλοντικό πλαίσιο επηρεάζει την ανθρώπινη λειτουργία. Η πτυχιακή της εργασία, με τίτλο “The Effects of Socioeconomic Status on Cognitive Performance”, επικεντρώθηκε στη μελέτη της σχέσης μεταξύ κοινωνικοοικονομικού επιπέδου και γνωστικής απόδοσης. Μετά την ολοκλήρωση των βασικών σπουδών της, επέλεξε να προσανατολίσει την επαγγελματική της πορεία στη Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεία. Από τον Σεπτέμβριο του 2023 εκπαιδεύεται στο Κέντρο Συστημικής Μελέτης και Θεραπείας Θεσσαλονίκης (Κε.Σ.Με.Θ.Θ.) – Ινστιτούτο Εκπαίδευσης & Ψυχοθεραπείας, διευρύνοντας συνεχώς τις γνώσεις και τις θεραπευτικές της δεξιότητες μέσα από θεωρητική, βιωματική και πρακτική εκπαίδευση. Η συστημική προσέγγιση αποτελεί βασικό άξονα της επαγγελματικής της ταυτότητας. Μέσα από αυτή την οπτική, ο άνθρωπος προσεγγίζεται ως μέρος ενός ευρύτερου πλαισίου σχέσεων και αλληλεπιδράσεων, με στόχο την καλύτερη κατανόηση των δυσκολιών, των αναγκών και των δυνατοτήτων του. Στο πλαίσιο της εξειδίκευσής της, έχει ολοκληρώσει εκπαίδευση στις βιωματικές ασκήσεις συστημικά προσανατολισμένες σε ομάδες. Παράλληλα, έχει ολοκληρώσει την εκπαίδευσή της στη Συστημική Σεξολογία και Σεξοθεραπεία Ζευγαριών και Ατόμων στο Κε.Σ.Με.Θ.Θ., διευρύνοντας την επιστημονική και θεραπευτική της κατάρτιση σε ζητήματα που αφορούν τη σεξουαλικότητα, τις συντροφικές σχέσεις και τη σεξουαλική ζωή.

Από τον Οκτώβριο του 2024 δραστηριοποιείται στο Κέντρο Ψυχικής Υγείας Αμπελοκήπων, όπου συμμετέχει στην παροχή υπηρεσιών ψυχικής υγείας και στην κλινική καθημερινότητα του Κέντρου. Έχει συμμετοχή σε ατομικές και οικογενειακές συνεδρίες, καθώς και στη θεραπευτική ομάδα, αποκτώντας ουσιαστική εμπειρία στην αντιμετώπιση διαφορετικών αιτημάτων και στην κλινική προσέγγιση ανθρώπων που αναζητούν υποστήριξη για ζητήματα ψυχικής υγείας. Η παρουσία της στο Κέντρο αποτελεί σημαντικό μέρος της επαγγελματικής της πορείας, καθώς της επιτρέπει να εφαρμόζει στην πράξη τις γνώσεις και τις δεξιότητες που έχει αναπτύξει μέσα από την εκπαίδευση και τη συνεχή ενασχόλησή της με τη Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεία. Από τον Οκτώβριο του 2022 έως τον Οκτώβριο του 2024 συμμετείχε σε ατομικές συνεδρίες και σε ομαδική θεραπευτική διαδικασία σε ιδιωτικό πλαίσιο συστημικής θεραπείας, υπό την παρουσία και τον συντονισμό επαγγελματία ψυχικής υγείας. Η εμπειρία αυτή συνέβαλε ουσιαστικά στην ανάπτυξη της κλινικής της σκέψης και στην εξοικείωσή της με τη θεραπευτική διαδικασία σε ατομικό και ομαδικό επίπεδο.

Στο πλαίσιο της κοινωνικής και επαγγελματικής της προσφοράς, έχει προσφέρει εθελοντική εργασία ως ψυχολόγος στο Κέντρο Ολιστικής Φροντίδας «ΝΕΜΕΣΙΣ» – Cancer Nemesis. Κατά τη διάρκεια της παρουσίας της στο Κέντρο, δραστηριοποιήθηκε στον τομέα της ψυχολογικής υποστήριξης, συμμετέχοντας στις σχετικές ψυχοθεραπευτικές διαδικασίες και έχοντας ενεργό ρόλο στο κομμάτι της ψυχολογικής φροντίδας. Παράλληλα, συμμετείχε στις κοινωνικές δράσεις του Κέντρου, οι οποίες είχαν αφιλοκερδή και κοινωνικό χαρακτήρα. Από τον Μάρτιο του 2022 έως τον Ιούνιο του 2023 συμμετείχε εθελοντικά σε κοινωνικές δράσεις και εκδηλώσεις των Παιδικών Χωριών SOS Πλαγιαρίου, προσφέροντας χρόνο και ενεργή υποστήριξη στις δράσεις του οργανισμού.

Η ειδικός έχει επιμορφωθεί σε θεματικές που διευρύνουν το γνωστικό της πεδίο και αφορούν διαφορετικές πτυχές της ψυχικής υγείας και της ανθρώπινης συμπεριφοράς. Έχει παρακολουθήσει σεμινάρια του Πανεπιστημίου Πατρών με αντικείμενο τον Αυτισμό και τη Σχολική Ψυχολογία, καθώς και εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα σχετικά με τη Διαχείριση Εργασιακού Άγχους και τη Συναισθηματική Νοημοσύνη στο σύγχρονο εργασιακό περιβάλλον. Τέλος, η συνεχής εκπαίδευση αποτελεί για την ίδια σημαντικό μέρος της επαγγελματικής της πορείας, καθώς θεωρεί ότι η εξέλιξη ενός επαγγελματία ψυχικής υγείας απαιτεί διαρκή αναζήτηση γνώσης, προσωπική καλλιέργεια και επαφή με σύγχρονες θεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις.
