About the specialist

Ονομάζομαι Γκέλυ Λιανού και είμαι Ψυχολόγος (MSc) και Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια. Μέσα από τις διαδικτυακές μας συνεδρίες, στόχος μου είναι να σας προσφέρω έναν απολύτως ασφαλή και υποστηρικτικό χώρο, όπου θα μπορέσετε να μοιραστείτε όλα όσα σας δυσκολεύουν. 

Ως συστημική θεραπεύτρια, δεν εστιάζω μόνο στο σύμπτωμα. Βλέπω τον άνθρωπο ως μέρος ενός ευρύτερου συνόλου (οικογένεια, σχέσεις, εργασία, κοινωνία). Μαζί, θα προσπαθήσουμε να κατανοήσουμε τα μοτίβα που σας εγκλωβίζουν, να συνδέσουμε τα συνειδητά με τα ασυνείδητα κομμάτια, να φωτίσουμε τις δικές σας εσωτερικές δυνάμεις και να βρούμε νέους τρόπους επικοινωνίας και διαχείρισης των προκλήσεων.

Δουλεύω αποκλειστικά διαδικτυακά με ενήλικες τόσο στην Ελλάδα όσο και με Έλληνες του εξωτερικού. Η online μορφή μας επιτρέπει να δουλέψουμε με την ίδια ακριβώς θεραπευτική ποιότητα (ενσυναίσθηση, αποδοχή, αυθεντικότητα, εχεμύθεια και εμπιστευτικότητα) και αμεσότητα, από την ασφάλεια και την άνεση του δικού σας χώρου.

Μπορώ να σας υποστηρίξω σε ζητήματα όπως:

-Διαχείριση άγχους, κρίσεων και στρες

-Κατάθλιψη, απώλεια και πένθος

-Δυσκολίες στις διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις (οικογενειακές, συντροφικές, επαγγελματικές)

-Ζητήματα αυτοεκτίμησης, μοναξιάς και αυτοεικόνας

-Προσαρμογή σε νέες συνθήκες/φάσεις ζωής (π.χ. μετανάστευση, αλλαγή καριέρας, γονεϊκότητα, διαζύγιο)

-Επεξεργασία τραυματικών εμπειριών

Στο κάτω μέρος της σελίδας μπορείτε να δείτε αναλυτικά την ακαδημαϊκή μου εκπαίδευση (Πάντειο Πανεπιστήμιο, ΕΚΠΑ) και την επαγγελματική μου εμπειρία.

Στην πρώτη μας διαδικτυακή συνάντηση, θα έχουμε τον χρόνο να γνωριστούμε, να ακούσω τι σας απασχολεί και να συζητήσουμε το πώς μπορούμε να συνεργαστούμε.

About the specialist

Dr Dimitrios Chionis is a Military Psychologist of the Hellenic Air Force, with a PhD in Psychology, Human Factors and Strategic Communication.

If you are looking for a psychologist online, this is not a generic counselling profile. You will meet a professional whose work has been shaped in high responsibility environments, where stress, pressure, decision making, communication and human performance are part of everyday reality.

In our sessions, we focus on what is difficult for you right now. This may be anxiety, stress, burnout, panic attacks, anger, sadness, fear, work pressure, relationship difficulties, problematic internet use, low self awareness, or the need for clearer personal direction. We do not begin with a label. We begin with you, your request, and the way your daily functioning is affected.

The work is practical, structured and human. The aim is to help you understand more clearly what is happening, how you react under pressure, and what small but meaningful steps you can take next. You are supported to regain clarity, emotional control, personal responsibility and a stronger sense of direction.

The special focus on Human Factors makes this work different. It looks at the connection between the person, the environment, pressure, decision making and behaviour. This is useful when you feel that the problem is not only inside you, but also in the system around you. Your work, your relationships, your responsibilities and your daily demands all matter.

The background in Strategic Communication is also important. It can help when your difficulty involves hard conversations, boundaries, conflict, professional relationships, leadership, personal image, or the need to express yourself clearly without losing your position.

The sessions may support you with anxiety management, stress regulation, burnout, communication skills, anger management, panic symptoms, self awareness, professional decision making, personal development and peak performance. The approach is direct, respectful and grounded in psychological science, without vague promises or ready made solutions.

This is not presented as a specific psychotherapy model that claims to fit everyone. The service focuses on psychological support, counselling, mentoring, coaching and the improvement of everyday functioning. The work is based on professional experience, scientific knowledge and respect for your personal request.

Confidentiality, clarity and responsibility are central to the process. Where more specialised care is needed, such as psychotherapy, psychiatric support, medical assessment, or multidisciplinary intervention, an appropriate referral or collaboration with another health professional may be recommended.

The goal is not to tell you to simply think positively. The goal is to help you see what is really going on, organise yourself more effectively and take the next steps with more awareness, stability and personal strength.
