He believes that change does not arise from “ready-made solutions” but from the gradual understanding and deep processing of subjective experience.

About the specialist

Η Σούμα Κέλλυ είναι Ψυχολόγος - Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια και πραγματοποιεί διαδικτυακές συνεδρίες Ψυχοθεραπείας. Κατέχει άδεια ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος και διαθέτει εκπαίδευση σε ψυχοθεραπευτική προσέγγιση στη Λογικοθυμική και Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική Ψυχοθεραπεία (RECBT) από το Albert Ellis Institute. Έχει αφιερώσει το έργο της στη βαθιά και ουσιαστική αλλαγή στον τρόπο που οι άνθρωποι αντιλαμβάνονται τον εαυτό τους, τους άλλους και τον κόσμο γύρω τους. Ολοκλήρωσε τις προπτυχιακές σπουδές της στην Ψυχολογία στο University of East London με άριστα (First Class Honors), εστιάζοντας στη δύναμη της Ψυχολογίας να εμπνέει φιλοσοφική αλλαγή, πέρα από την άμεση και βραχυπρόθεσμη ανακούφιση των συμπτωμάτων.Η θεραπευτική της προσέγγιση εστιάζει σε μια βαθιά και ουσιαστική αλλαγή – όχι μόνο στην ανακούφιση από συμπτώματα όπως το άγχος, η κατάθλιψη, ο θυμός, ο πληγωμένος πόνος, η ντροπή, οι ενοχές, η ζήλια, ο φθόνος αλλά και στην κατανόηση της προέλευσης των σκέψεων και των πεποιθήσεών μας. Στην RECBT, επομένως, η αλλαγή δεν είναι επιφανειακή. Καθοδηγεί τους θεραπευόμενους να αποδομήσουν τις Μη Ορθολογικές Πεποιθήσεις (ΜΟΠ), οι οποίες είναι λιγότερο βοηθητικές, μη ρεαλιστικές, άκαμπτες, απόλυτες και μη συνεπείς με την πραγματικότητα και συχνά επηρεάζουν βαθιά τον συναισθηματικό τους κόσμο. Σε αυτό το ταξίδι, τους ενδυναμώνει να οικοδομήσουν νέες Ορθολογικές Πεποιθήσεις (ΟΠ),  οι οποίες είναι περισσότερο βοηθητικές, ρεαλιστικές, ευέλικτες και συνεπής με την πραγματικότητα. Με αυτό το τρόπο, οι Ορθολογικές Πεποιθήσεις προάγουν τη λειτουργικότητα και την ψυχική ισορροπία του ατόμου. Στόχος της ειδικού είναι να βοηθά κάθε άτομο να κατανοήσει πως όταν αναλαμβάνουμε τη συναισθηματική ευθύνη της ύπαρξής μας με τρόπο συμβατό με τη βαθύτερη φιλοσοφία του ίδιου μας του εαυτού, τότε καταφέρνουμε αφενός να απολαμβάνουμε περισσότερο την ζωή μας και αφετέρου να βιώνουμε πιο λειτουργικά συναισθήματα. Ακόμα και αν αυτά πρόκειται να είναι αρνητικά. Η ανάληψη ευθύνης ότι τα συναισθήματα και οι αντιδράσεις μας δεν οφείλονται μόνο σε εξωτερικά γεγονότα αλλά κυρίως στις εσωτερικές μας πεποιθήσεις, νοοτροπίες και στάσεις, μας βοηθάει να κατανοήσουμε/διαχειριστούμε με μεγαλύτερη ορθότητα τα συναισθήματά μας. Επομένως, κάθε άτομο έχει τις δικές του αξίες, στόχους και πεποιθήσεις, οι  οποίες διαμορφώνουν έναν προσωπικό «κώδικα» ζωής για τον εαυτό, τους άλλους και τη ζωή. Η αλλαγή λοιπόν που επιτυγχάνουμε στη θεραπεία είναι προσαρμοσμένη στη διαδικασία που ταιριάζει με αυτόν τον «κώδικα». Το άτομο, δηλαδή, κάνει αλλαγές που δεν του είναι ξένες, αλλά συμβατές με τον πυρήνα του. Η RECBT επομένως, καθώς και η βιωματική - Ορθολογική Ψυχοθεραπεία, δεν είναι μόνο ένα θεραπευτικό εργαλείο, αλλά μια φιλοσοφία ζωής. Σε αυτό το πλαίσιο, το φιλοσοφικό μοντέλο που εφαρμόζει δεν στοχεύει απλώς στο «να νιώθουμε καλύτερα», αλλά στο να αλλάξουμε τη δομή της σκέψης μας, ώστε να «σκεφτόμαστε καλύτερα».

Η εμπειρία της καλύπτει ένα ευρύ φάσμα ψυχολογικών θεμάτων, όπως γενικευμένη αγχώδη διαταραχή, κρίσεις και διαταραχή πανικού, αγοραφοβία, κοινωνικό άγχος, κατάθλιψη, διπολική διαταραχή, καθώς και ιδεοψυχαναγκαστικές και συνδεόμενες συμπεριφορές και διαταραχές προσωπικότητας. Ως ψυχοθεραπεύτρια, επιδιώκει να προχωρήσει μαζί με το θεραπευόμενο πέρα από τα συμπτώματα, φτάνοντας στη ρίζα των πεποιθήσεων που τα πυροδοτούν. Αξιοποιεί τεχνικές της Community Therapy και της Ριζοσπαστικής Ψυχοθεραπείας, δίνοντας έμφαση στην αποδοχή, την αλληλεγγύη και τη φιλοσοφική θεμελίωση των Ορθολογικών Πεποιθήσεων. Παράλληλα, εργάζεται σε ζητήματα συναισθηματικής ρύθμισης, αυτοπεποίθησης, διεκδικητικότητας και προσωπικής ανάπτυξης.

Για την ίδια η ψυχοθεραπεία είναι κάτι περισσότερο από μια διαδικασία παρέμβασης: είναι μια βαθιά κοινωνική συνάντηση και αλληλεπίδραση. Στο πλαίσιο των συνεδριών , επιδιώκει να δημιουργεί έναν ασφαλή χώρο όπου η ψυχοθεραπεία αναδεικνύεται ως κοινή πορεία – μια σχέση αλληλοκατανόησης και ουσιαστικής επικοινωνίας. Καθώς αλληλεπιδρούμε, εξερευνούμε όχι μόνο τις προκλήσεις, αλλά και τα εσωτερικά αποθέματα δύναμης που μπορούν να φέρουν πραγματική και διαρκή αλλαγή.Επιπλέον, βρίσκεται υπό την εποπτεία αναγνωρισμένων ψυχοθεραπευτών, εξασφαλίζοντας έτσι την υψηλή ποιότητα των θεραπευτικών υπηρεσιών που προσφέρει. Με αυτό το τρόπο επενδύει στη συνεχή βελτίωση της θεραπευτικής εμπειρίας, ώστε να υποστηρίζει κάθε θεραπευόμενο να ξεπεράσει τους περιορισμούς του και να χτίσει μια ζωή με νόημα, αυθεντικότητα και ψυχική ανθεκτικότητα.

Τέλος, στην επαγγελματική της πορεία η εκπαίδευση και οι γνώσεις της επεκτείνονται στη δουλειά με παιδιά και εφήβους, βοηθώντας τους να αναπτύξουν μια στέρεη βάση αυτοπεποίθησης και ψυχικής ισορροπίας από νωρίς, ώστε να διαμορφώσουν λειτουργικες σχέσεις και ορθολογικές αντιλήψεις. Έχει προσφέρει υπηρεσίες ψυχολογικής υποστήριξης σε παιδιά με αναπηρίες ενισχύοντας την ψυχική και συναισθηματική τους ανάπτυξη καθώς και σε άτομα με σοβαρές ψυχικές προκλήσεις, γνωρίζοντας πώς να προσεγγίζει τις ευαισθησίες και τα ιδιαίτερα χαρακτηριστικά της κάθε ηλικίας. Επίσης, έχει εργαστεί στο Πρότυπο Ειδικό Σχολείο «Ρόζα Ιμβριώτη»  στην Καισαριανή, παρέχοντας στήριξη σε παιδιά με ιδιαιτερότητες, καθώς και ως Υπεύθυνη Προστασίας Ανηλίκων στο ΚΔΑΠ ΜΕΑ ΠΡΌΣΒΑΣΗ, στη Μεταμόρφωση, τη Λυκόβρυση και την Πεύκη. Παρακολουθεί τακτικά εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα, σεμινάρια και συνέδρια, σχετικά με το Bullying, το σπάσιμο του στίγματος σε άτομα με Ψυχοπαθολογία, τις Διαπροσωπικές Σχέσεις, το Rational Living, την Κοινοτική Ψυχοθεραπεία, την Εγκληματολογία κ.α. Τα τελευταία χρόνια εργάζεται ως ελεύθερη επαγγελματίας Ψυχολόγος - Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια, προσφέροντας online ψυχοθεραπεία, εξυπηρετώντας ανθρώπους από όλο τον κόσμο.

Υπήρξε συντονιστής σε διεπιστημονικές και θεραπευτικές ομάδες με ευθύνη στον εξατομικευμένο σχεδιασμό του θεραπευτικού προγράμματος και σε στενή συνεργασία με κοινωνικούς φορείς. Στο 18-ΑΝΩ, απέκτησε σημαντική εμπειρία στο κομμάτι των εξαρτήσεων όπου και εκεί ήμουν συντονιστής σε ομάδες. Παρακολούθησε πληθώρα σεμιναρίων και συμμετείχε σε συνέδρια με αναρτημένες ανακοινώσεις και συνεχίζει να εξελίσσεται. Η προσέγγιση του είναι η Συνθετική ψυχοθεραπεία και, ανάλογα τις εκάστοτε ανάγκες, συνδυάζει την εκπαίδευση του στη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική, Συστημική (οικογενειακή) και στη Ψυχοδυναμική Ψυχοθεραπεία.

Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια με Πτυχίο (Bachelor) του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Πανεπιστημίου Τριέρ στη Γερμανία και Πτυχίο (Bachelor) με κατεύθυνση ψυχολογίας, του Τμήματος Φιλοσοφίας- Παιδαγωγικού και Ψυχολογίας, του Εθνικού Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών (ΕΚΠΑ). Κατέχει Μεταπτυχιακό Τίτλο Σπουδών (MS.c) στην «Κλινική Ψυχολογία» του Τμήματος Κοινωνικών Επιστημών και Συμπεριφοράς, του Πανεπιστημίου Erasmus, στο Ρότερνταμ της Ολλανδίας. Επιπλέον ειδικεύεται στη Συστημική - Οικογενειακή Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Ινστιτούτο Εκπαίδευσης και Έρευνας - Λόγω Ψυχής, σύμφωνα με το μοντέλο SANE (System Attachment Narrative Encephalon). Το συγκεκριμένο μοντέλο είναι ένα εμπλουτισμένο μοντέλο συστημικής ψυχοθεραπείας που ενσωματώνει στη θεραπευτική πρακτική στοιχεία από τη θεωρία του συναισθηματικού δεσμού, την αφηγηματική προσέγγιση και τα ευρήματα των νευροεπιστημών.

Απέκτησε πρακτική εμπειρία σε Κέντρα Ψυχικής Υγείας του Δήμου Πειραιά και Καισαριανής - Βύρωνα, όπου δούλεψε τόσο με εφήβους και οικογένειες όσο και με ενήλικες που βίωναν άγχος, κατάθλιψη, μειωμένη αυτοεκτίμηση, δυσκολίες στις σχέσεις, δυσκολίες σεξουαλικού προσανατολισμού και ταυτότητας.

Παράλληλα εργάστηκε ως ψυχολόγος στο Κέντρο Ημέρας Υποστήριξης Εργαζομένων Αθηνών, στο οποίο παρείχε ψυχολογική υποστήριξη σε εργαζομένους για ζητήματα όπως : το εργασιακό στρες, επαγγελματική εξουθένωση, κατάθλιψη, ενδυνάμωση και αυτογνωσία.

Έχει παρακολουθήσει πλήθος σεμιναρίων εστιασμένα στην ψυχοπαθολογία, στη συμβουλευτική και την ψυχοθεραπεία με ΛΟΑΤΚΙ+ άτομα και στην ψυχική υγεία ευρύτερα. Στο ιδιωτικό της γραφείο που διατηρεί στον Πειραιά (Φρεαττύδος 46), εργάζεται με ενήλικες, ζευγάρια, εφήβους και οικογένειες.

Πιστεύει ότι η αναζήτηση βοήθειας και ο δρόμος προς την αλλαγή είναι διαδικασίες με δυσκολίες και προκλήσεις, που αποτελούν όμως ένα πρώτο σπουδαίο βήμα προς ένα λυτρωτικό ταξίδι. Ο φόβος είναι ένα εύλογο συναίσθημα στην αρχή της θεραπείας, αλλά με τον κατάλληλο θεραπευτή, μέσα σε ένα ασφαλές πλαίσιο, μπορούν να φωτιστούν όλα τα σκοτεινά σημεία, να κατανοηθούν άγνωστες πλευρές του εαυτού μας και να δοκιμαστούν νέοι τρόποι σκέψης και συμπεριφοράς.
