Βρίσκεται σε εποπτεία και προσωπική θεραπεία σταθερά, σε εβδομαδιαία βάση από την αρχή της επαγγελματικής της πορείας, σε ατομικό και ομαδικό πλαίσιο, ενώ προσφέρει δια ζώσης και διαδικτυακές συνεδρίες. Κατέχει πτυχίο BSc (Hons) στην Ψυχολογία από το University of Essex και μεταπτυχιακό τίτλο MΑ στην Συμβουλευτική και Συνθετική Ψυχοθεραπεία από το University of East London. Έχει επιπλέον ολοκληρώσει την επιμόρφωση στην Ολιστική Προσέγγιση στην Παιδοψυχολογία μέσω του Κέντρου Επιμόρφωσης Δια Βίου Μάθησης του Παντείου Πανεπιστημίου, καθώς και την εκπαίδευσή της στην Σωματικά Επικεντρωμένη Ψυχοθεραπεία Gestalt στο Κέντρο Δίοδος. Παρακολουθεί ανελλιπώς σεμινάρια, εκπαιδεύσεις και εποπτείες, συνεχίζοντας με συνέπεια τη διαρκή της επαγγελματική και προσωπική εξέλιξη. Έχει επαγγελματική εμπειρία μέσα από τη συνεργασία της με το Ίδρυμα “Λίλιαν Βουδούρη”, την πρακτική της άσκηση ως Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας στο Μητροπολιτικό Κολλέγιο και τη συμμετοχή της στη Συμβουλευτική και Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Κέντρο Ημέρας Αμαρουσίου Franco Basaglia (Ε.Π.Α.Ψ.Υ.). Στο θεραπευτικό της έργο εστιάζει στη σχέση ως βασικό πεδίο προσωπικής ανάπτυξης και ψυχικής αλλαγής, καθώς και σε ζητήματα όπως την διαχείριση άγχους και κρίσεων πανικού, κατάθλιψη, θλίψη και πένθος, φοβίες και διατροφικές διαταραχές, διαχείριση θυμού και συναισθηματικής έντασης, αυτοεικόνα, αυτοεκτίμηση και προσωπική ανάπτυξη, ζητήματα σχέσεων, ορίων και συναισθηματικής εγγύτητας, θέματα σεξουαλικότητας και σεξουαλικού προσανατολισμού.

Στο παρελθόν έχει ολοκληρώσει τις σπουδές της στην Πολιτισμική Τεχνολογία και Επικοινωνία στο Πανεπιστήμιο Αιγαίου, καθώς και στην Φωτογραφία, Βίντεο και Νέες Τεχνολογίες στην σχολή Focus. Οι σπουδές αυτές διαμόρφωσαν μια διευρυμένη ματιά πάνω στην ανθρώπινη εμπειρία και ανέπτυξαν την ικανότητα παρατήρησης των λεπτομερειών, της έκφρασης και της αφήγησης — στοιχεία που αποτελούν ουσιώδες μέρος της ψυχοθεραπευτικής της ταυτότητας. Η καλλιτεχνική και πολιτισμική της εκπαίδευση καλλιέργησε μια βαθιά ενσυναίσθηση, ευαισθησία και δημιουργικότητα απέναντι στην ανθρώπινη ψυχή, εμπλουτίζοντας τον τρόπο με τον οποίο προσεγγίζει και συνοδεύει τους θεραπευόμενούς της.

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

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.

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.
