**Person-Centered Psychotherapy** is a therapeutic approach developed by **Carl Rogers** in the 20th century. Its core idea is that every individual has the potential to grow and resolve their issues when they feel accepted and understood. The therapist does not guide or judge the client but supports them with empathy and unconditional positive regard. This allows the client to explore their emotions, thoughts, and concerns in a safe space.

The therapy focuses on the person and their needs, rather than on the problem or diagnosis. The essence lies in the development of a genuine and honest relationship between therapist and client, which enables the latter to discover their own solutions and strengthen their self-esteem. Person-Centered Psychotherapy believes that we all possess the capacity for self-actualization and to live a life that truly satisfies us, as long as we have the appropriate environment of support and understanding.

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.
