About the specialist

I am a Greek Clinical Psychologist (MSc) - Psychotherapist that has lived in Greece, Italy and Netherlands. During the last years, I have gained a diverse range of clinical experiences working with individuals and families with a variety of mental health and developmental conditions. I completed my BSc in Psychology at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, followed by an MSc degree in Clinical Psychology at Utrecht University. To further my professional development, I am getting trained to become a Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapist from the Greek Association for Cognitive and Behavioral Psychotherapies, which is accredited by the European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies (EABCT). During my Bachelor's Internship at Papanikolaou Psychiatric Hospital of Thessaloniki, I participated in group therapy sessions, consisted of individuals diagnosed with Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder and other psychotic disorders. I also gained experience in family and couple therapy, utilizing the systemic approach. During my Master's Internship at the Psychiatric Facilities of the General Hospital of Corfu, I provided psychoeducational interventions to individuals diagnosed with Schizophrenia and to their families, as well as one-on-one psychotherapy sessions to individuals struggling with emotional issues. At the same time, I participated in group sessions with individuals hospitalized at the Detox Unit of the clinic, who were struggling with addiction issues. During my working experience at a Dyslexia Center, I provided counseling to parents, as well as I conducted individual sessions with children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, and other developmental disabilities. In addition, I promoted social skills learning through the use of board games, CBT techniques, role-playing, and various psychoeducational materials. My decision to pursue a career as a psychotherapist stems from a profound love for understanding the intricacies of the human soul. This profession brings me immense fulfillment as it allows me to help individuals feel heard, gain deep self-awareness, and piece together the complex puzzles of their lives. Through this process, I assist them in finding meaning and moving closer to a sense of wholeness.

About the specialist

"Με ενδιαφέρει ο άνθρωπος, η ιστορία του, και ο τρόπος που σχετίζεται με τον εαυτό του και τους άλλους."

Η Καραδήμου Θάλεια είναι απόφοιτος Ψυχολογίας από το Αμερικανικό Κολλέγιο και κάτοχος μεταπτυχιακού από το King’s College. Μέσα από το δικό της, προσωπικό ταξίδι αναζήτησης νοήματος, εντός και εκτός της ψυχοθεραπείας, κατέληξε πως της ταιριάζει η Συστημική - Οικογενειακή Προσέγγιση στην οποία εκπαιδεύεται και εποπτεύεται. Και αυτό, γιατί από όποια πλευρά έχει προσπαθήσει να δει και να καταλάβει την ιστορία της και την ιστορία των γύρω της, πάντα καταλήγει πως το νόημα της ζωής μας είναι οι ανθρώπινες σχέσεις. Όποια δύναμη, σιγουριά, φόβο και δυσκολία έχει ο καθένας μας προέρχεται από αυτές και ταυτόχρονα τις τροφοδοτεί.

Πολύ απλά δεν μπορούμε να υπάρξουμε χωρίς να συνδεόμαστε και να σχετιζόμαστε.

Η δική της διαδρομή στην ψυχοθεραπεία την δίδαξε ότι η μετακίνηση και η αλλαγή δεν είναι ποτέ μονόπλευρη· συντελείται μέσα στην σχέση, στον διάλογο, στη συν-κατασκευή νοήματος.

Αυτή είναι η φιλοσοφία της:

  • Να συν-βαδίζουμε, να συν-δημιουργούμε και να συν-νοηματοδοτούμε
  • Να αφήνουμε τον διάλογο να φωτίζει το μονοπάτι
  • Να τιμούμε την ανθρώπινη σχέση ως τον πυρήνα της θεραπείας

"Για εμένα η θεραπεία δεν είναι «ανάλυση», αλλά ένα κοινό ταξίδι· μια σχέση όπου ερχόμαστε σε επαφή με αυθεντικότητα, συναισθηματική παρουσία, ηθική δέσμευση και ευθύνη, και όπου δημιουργείται χώρος για να ακουστεί η ιστορία σου — και όλα όσα υπάρχουν πίσω από αυτήν".

Έχει βρεθεί κι εκείνη στη θέση του θεραπευόμενου. Γνωρίζει τους φόβους, τις δυσκολίες της διαδικασίας, τον κόπο και το θάρρος που απαιτείται, αλλά και το πόσο ανεκτίμητο δώρο μπορεί να γίνει όταν υπάρχει ασφάλεια, σύνδεση και σεβασμός.

  • Δεν φέρνει έτοιμες απαντήσεις· φέρνει περιέργεια.
  • Δεν φέρνει εξηγήσεις· φέρνει χώρο.
  • Στόχος της είναι να συν-κατασκευάσετε νέες οπτικές και νέες δυνατότητες· να σε βοηθήσει να βρεις έναν νέο τρόπο να υπάρξεις μέσα από τα νοήματα που θα ανακαλύψετε μαζί.

Ξεκίνησε την ακαδημαϊκή της πορεία αποκτώντας πτυχίο Ψυχολογίας,  από το κρατικό Πανεπιστήμιο της Νέας Υόρκης (State University of New York – Empire State University). Είναι κάτοχος  Μεταπτυχιακού διπλώματος (MSc) ειδίκευσης στην Κλινική Ψυχικής Υγείας, από το  Ηellenic American University, New Hampshire – USA, με εξειδίκευση στη Γνωστική Συμπεριφορική Θεραπεία (CBT). Το Μεταπτυχιακό Πρόγραμμα στην Ψυχολογία (MSPsy) παρείχε ολοκληρωμένη εκπαίδευση και κατάρτιση στην τεκμηριωμένη (evidence-based) γνωσιακή συμπεριφοριστική προσέγγιση στη συμβουλευτική και την ψυχοθεραπεία. Είναι εκπαιδευμένη στη Θεραπεία Τραύματος με τη μέθοδο EMDR από την TAC HELLAS.

 Στο πλαίσιο της μετεκπαίδευσης της στην Κλινική Ψυχικής Υγείας  πραγματοποίησε κλινική πρακτική άσκηση και συμβουλευτική, υπό εποπτεία στη Ψυχιατρική Κλινική του 414 Στρατιωτικού Νοσοκομείου Ειδικών Νοσημάτων, από τον Ιούλιο 2021 έως τον Ιούλιο 2023.

Επίσης, κατά τη διάρκεια των βασικών σπουδών της στην Ψυχολογία, πραγματοποίησε πρακτική άσκηση στο Διακλαδικό Κέντρο Ψυχικής Υγείας,  από το 2018 έως 2019.

Επιπλέον, ειδικεύεται μέσω τετραετούς προγράμματος εκπαίδευσης στην Συστημική ψυχοθεραπεία, στο Εργαστήριο Διερεύνησης Ανθρωπίνων Σχέσεων, από τον Σεπτέμβριο 2024. 

Έχει συμμετάσχει σε αρκετά επιστημονικά συνέδρια, συγκεκριμένα,  στο 63th Annual European Branch of the American Counseling Association (EB-ACA) Conference, που διεξήχθη στις 21-22 Οκτωβρίου 2022, βραβεύτηκε για την έρευνα που έχει διεξάγει στα πλαίσια του μεταπτυχιακού της, με τίτλο  "Ψυχική Ανθεκτικότητα ως Προστατευτικός Παράγοντας στις Ψυχιατρικές Διαταραχές κατά τη διάρκεια της στρατιωτικής θητείας" .

Επίσης, συμμετείχε ως ομιλήτρια για την Τεχνητή Νοημοσύνη στο χώρο της Ψυχικής Υγείας - τίτλος "Global Perspectives on Ethical Artificial Intelligence in Mental Health Care:Navigating the Ethical and Social Challenges", τον Οκτώβριο 2024, στο 65th Annual European Branch of the American Counseling Association (EB-ACA) Conference, στη Νυρεμβέργη Γερμανία. Τέλος, συμμετείχε στο 6th ICMM Pan European Regional Congress on Military Medicine, τον Απρίλιο 2024 και σε αρκετά Διεπιστημονικά Συνέδρια « Εγκέφαλος και Νους» το 2022,2023 & 2024, αντίστοιχα.   Κατά τη διάρκεια των εκπαιδεύσεων της στον τομέα της ψυχικής υγείας, ήταν στέλεχος των Ενόπλων Δυνάμεων με πολυετής εμπειρία, η οποία της προσέφερε βαθιά κατανόηση της ανθρώπινης συμπεριφοράς, του εργασιακού στρες και της ψυχικής ανθεκτικότητας—στοιχεία που εμπλουτίζουν την θεραπευτική της προσέγγιση.

Λόγω της εκπαίδευσής της στη συστημική ψυχοθεραπεία νιώθει ότι βρίσκεται σε προνομιακή θέση που δεν είναι υποχρεωμένη να αναφέρεται σε εκείνους που έρχονται για βοήθεια, ούτε ως ασθενείς ούτε ως πελάτες. Αποσυνδέεται η σχέση, τόσο από την παθολογία όσο και από την οικονομική συναλλαγή, καλώντας τους θεραπευόμενους.

Στη θεραπεία συνοδεύουμε τον θεραπευόμενο, να πει το αφήγημά του, μέχρι να βρει τη λύση στα προβλήματα που τον απασχολούν. Την λύση την έχει μέσα του, απλά δεν το γνωρίζει.

Ο θεραπευόμενος δεν πάει στη θεραπεία για συμμόρφωση ή για να τον αλλάξουν. Πάει στη θεραπεία για να τον ακούσουν, προκειμένου να μπορεί να καταλάβει ο ίδιος τι συμβαίνει και εφόσον το  επιθυμεί να αλλάξει μόνος του.

 Ένας «φροντισμένος» εαυτός, μέσω της θεραπείας, θα φροντίσει να κάνει  υγιείς σχέσεις, σε προσωπικό, ερωτικό, επαγγελματικό και κοινωνικό επίπεδο.

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.

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.

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.
