Η Μπόθου Έλενα είναι Ψυχολόγος, απόφοιτη του Deree – The American College of Greece. Διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στην Γλυφάδα και παρέχει ατομικές συνεδρίες σε ενήλικες και εφήβους από 16 ετών και άνω, τόσο δια ζώσης όσο και online. Η προσέγγισή της είναι συνθετική και εξατομικευμένη, συνδυάζοντας στοιχεία από την κλινική υπνοθεραπεία, τη βιωματική ψυχοθεραπεία, τη φιλοσοφική συμβουλευτική, την παιγνιοθεραπεία, τη δημιουργική έκφραση και την εργασία με πεποιθήσεις. Στο θεραπευτικό πλαίσιο δίνεται έμφαση στην ασφάλεια, την εμπιστοσύνη και τον σεβασμό στον ρυθμό του κάθε ανθρώπου, ιδιαίτερα όταν υπάρχει δυσκολία στη λεκτική έκφραση ή στο άμεσο άνοιγμα. Ιδιαίτερο μέρος της δουλειάς της αποτελεί η σύνδεση ψυχολογίας, διαλογιστικής διερεύνησης και δημιουργικών θεραπευτικών εργαλείων, μέσα από ήπιες και χαμηλής έκθεσης διαδικασίες. Παράλληλα με τις ατομικές συνεδρίες, αναπτύσσει το Estia Soul Space, έναν χώρο αφιερωμένο στην αυτογνωσία, τη δημιουργική έκφραση και τη θεραπευτική συνάντηση μέσα από ατομικές και ομαδικές βιωματικές διαδικασίες. Η θεραπευτική της στάση βασίζεται στην πεποίθηση ότι ο άνθρωπος δεν χρειάζεται να “διορθωθεί”, αλλά να ακουστεί ουσιαστικά, να κατανοήσει την ιστορία του και να ξαναβρεί έναν πιο αυθεντικό τρόπο σχέσης με τον εαυτό του και τους άλλους.
