Dimitris Aggelopoulos is a psychotherapist and educator specializing in Group Analysis. In his private practice, located in the center of Athens, he provides individual and group psychotherapy to individuals facing challenges in their personal lives, relationships, or mental health. His goal is not only the relief of symptoms, but also the emergence of each unique individual and the discovery of new ways of behavior and perception, focusing on healthy relationships and a sense of fulfillment.

He firmly believes that psychological difficulties are not solely individual problems, but mirrors of society, the relationships, and the groups within which we live and interact. Through Group Analysis, he utilizes the function of the group to facilitate the revealing of hidden aspects of the self, offering honest feedback and creating a space where individuals can express themselves freely, without fear of judgment. The group operates as a microcosm of relationships – a dynamic reality in which changes do not remain theoretical, but significantly impact the members’ broader lives.

Dimitris Aggelopoulos fosters an environment of safety and trust, where each person has the opportunity to face their challenges and cultivate the distinctive characteristics of their personality. Psychotherapy is not a luxury, but a vital investment in the relationship with ourselves and others.

Ενώ οι αρχικές της σπουδές ήταν στο τμήμα Ευρωπαϊκών σπουδών, με ειδίκευση στα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα και το Διεθνές Δίκαιο, αργότερα συνέχισε τις σπουδές της στον τομέα της ψυχολογίας στο Πανεπιστήμιο του East London.

Κατόπιν, ο θεραπευόμενος, με την βοήθεια της θεραπείας, αξιοποιεί τις δυνατότητες του για να υλοποιήσει τους στόχους που θέτει για τον εαυτό του φτάνοντας έτσι σε μια ψυχολογική άνθηση. Η θεραπεία πραγματοποιείται σε δυο γλώσσες (ελληνικά-αγγλικά).
