Η Μαρία Τσίρμπα είναι Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας και Σταδιοδρομίας και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στη Θεσσαλονίκη.

Εκεί υποδέχεται ανθρώπους που θέλουν να διαχειριστούν το άγχος, τον θυμό, τη θλίψη ή βρίσκονται σε αδιέξοδο. Ανθρώπους που έχουν δυσκολίες στις σχέσεις τους αλλά και όσους βρίσκονται σε αναζήτηση κατεύθυνσης στην προσωπική ή επαγγελματική τους ζωή. Μέσα από τη Συνθετική προσέγγιση, βοηθά τον κάθε άνθρωπο να κατανοήσει καλύτερα τον εαυτό του, να ενισχύσει την αυτοπεποίθηση, να βελτιώσει την επικοινωνία και να αποκτήσει μια πιο ισορροπημένη και αυθεντική σχέση με τον εαυτό και τους άλλους.

Παράλληλα, στηρίζει εφήβους και ενήλικες στη διαδικασία επαγγελματικού προσανατολισμού και σχεδιασμού σταδιοδρομίας — από την επιλογή σπουδών μέχρι την επανατοποθέτηση στην αγορά εργασίας — με στόχο την ενδυνάμωση, τη σαφήνεια και τη μείωση του άγχους μπροστά σε σημαντικές αποφάσεις ζωής.

Αρχικά σπούδασε Μάρκετινγκ, όμως η ανάγκη της να κατανοήσει βαθύτερα τον άνθρωπο την οδήγησε στη Συνθετική Συμβουλευτική Ψυχικής Υγείας στο Κέντρο Εφαρμοσμένης Συμβουλευτικής και Ψυχοθεραπείας.

Έκτοτε, έχει εξειδικευτεί στη Συμβουλευτική Επαγγελματικού Προσανατολισμού και στην Εφαρμογή της Συμβουλευτικής Ψυχολογίας στην Εκπαίδευση, τα Παιδιά και τους Εφήβους του Εθνικού και Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών. Είναι επίσης εκπαιδευμένη στη χρήση ψυχομετρικών εργαλείων επαγγελματικών ενδιαφερόντων.

Παρακολουθεί συνεχώς επιμορφώσεις και σεμινάρια που αφορούν την ψυχολογία εφήβων και ενηλίκων, ψυχοθεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις αλλά και τη σταδιοδρομία και τον επαγγελματικό προσανατολισμό, πιστεύοντας ότι η γνώση είναι ένα ταξίδι χωρίς τέλος.

Η Σοφία Διαμαντή είναι Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας με Συνθετική – Συστημική ψυχοθεραπευτική προσέγγιση και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στο κέντρο της Θεσσαλονίκης. Έχει ολοκληρώσει τριετή εκπαίδευση στη Συμβουλευτική και την Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Κέντρο Εφαρμοσμένης Συμβουλευτικής και Ψυχοθεραπείας (ΚΕΨΥΣΗ), καθώς και το μονοετές πρόγραμμα Βιοθυμικής Κλινικής Ύπνωσης στο ίδιο κέντρο. Επιπλέον, έχει εκπαιδευτεί στη Συμβουλευτική Ζεύγους στο Mediterranean College. Η ψυχοθεραπευτική της ταυτότητα έχει διαμορφωθεί μέσα από την ολοκλήρωση της εκπαίδευσής της στη Συνθετική – Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Ινστιτούτο Συνθετικής Συστημικής Ψυχοθεραπείας Θεσσαλονίκης ( Κε.Σ.Συ.Θ. ), όπου συνεχίζει την εκπαίδευσή της στη Συμβουλευτική Παιδιών. Παράλληλα, παρακολουθεί διαρκώς σεμινάρια και εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα στον χώρο της ψυχολογίας, με στόχο τη συνεχή επαγγελματική και προσωπική εξέλιξη. Στην πρακτική της χρησιμοποιεί τεχνικές κυρίως από τη συστημική προσέγγιση, εμπλουτισμένες με στοιχεία από άλλες ψυχοθεραπευτικές κατευθύνσεις, όπως η Γνωσιακή – Συμπεριφορική (CBT) και η υπαρξιακή προσέγγιση. Εργάζεται με συνθετικό και ολιστικό τρόπο, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη το άτομο στο σύνολό του – τις σχέσεις, το οικογενειακό και κοινωνικό πλαίσιο, τα συναισθήματα, τις σκέψεις και το σώμα. Μέσα από τη θεραπευτική διαδικασία, υποστηρίζει τα άτομα στην αναγνώριση επαναλαμβανόμενων μοτίβων σκέψης, συναισθήματος και συμπεριφοράς, ενισχύοντας την επίγνωση και τη δυνατότητα επιλογής νέων, πιο λειτουργικών τρόπων σύνδεσης με τον εαυτό και τους άλλους. Στο ιδιωτικό της γραφείο παρέχει ατομικές συνεδρίες, οικογενειακές συνεδρίες, συμβουλευτική ζεύγους, κλινική ύπνωση καθώς και ομαδικές θεραπείες και βιωματικά εργαστήρια, δημιουργώντας ένα ασφαλές και υποστηρικτικό πλαίσιο προσωπικής εξερεύνησης και αλλαγής. Η φιλοσοφία της βασίζεται στη βαθιά πίστη της στον άνθρωπο και στην έμφυτη ικανότητά του για αυτορρύθμιση και αυτοΐαση. Για τη Σοφία Διαμαντή, η ψυχοθεραπεία είναι ένα κοινό ταξίδι, ένα ταξίδι που μπορεί να περιλαμβάνει απαιτητικά μονοπάτια, αλλά στο τέλος της διαδρομής ο άνθρωπος έχει προσφέρει στον εαυτό του το μεγαλύτερο δώρο: την ουσιαστική επαφή με τον εαυτό του και τη δυνατότητα μιας πιο αυθεντικής ζωής.
