Η Κέλλυ Δεσύπρη είναι Ψυχολόγος - Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια.Η επαγγελματική της πορεία ξεκίνησε από τον χώρο των media, όπου ήρθε σε άμεση επαφή με τις απαιτήσεις και τους έντονους ρυθμούς της σύγχρονης εργασιακής ζωής.Αναζητώντας την ισορροπία και την αυθεντικότητα σε έναν κόσμο γεμάτο πίεση και προσδοκίες, στράφηκε νωρίς στην ψυχοθεραπεία, καθώς και στις πρακτικές του διαλογισμού και της Hatha Yoga. Η προσωπική αυτή διαδρομή αποτέλεσε την αφετηρία ενός μακρόχρονου ακαδημαϊκού και βιωματικού ταξιδιού, το οποίο οδήγησε σε μια ουσιαστική στροφή τόσο στην προσωπική όσο και στην επαγγελματική της ζωή.Συνδυάζοντας προσωπικό βίωμα και επιστημονική εκπαίδευση, η θεραπευτική της προσέγγιση εστιάζει στην αρμονική σύνδεση ψυχής και σώματος. Εμπλουτίζει τη Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεία με δημιουργικές τεχνικές, πρακτικές αναπνοής και εργαλεία ενσυνειδητότητας (mindfulness), προσφέροντας έναν ολιστικό τρόπο υποστήριξης και προσωπικής ανάπτυξης.Σήμερα, η Κέλλυ Δεσύπρη συνοδεύει στο ψυχοθεραπευτικό τους ταξίδι ενήλικες, εφήβους και νέους που βρίσκονται στο στάδιο της αναδυόμενης ενηλικίωσης, μια περίοδο γεμάτη προκλήσεις, μεταβάσεις και σημαντικές αποφάσεις ζωής. Παράλληλα, τα τελευταία χρόνια εργάζεται στενά με γονείς που επιθυμούν να καλλιεργήσουν μια πιο ήπια και ουσιαστική επικοινωνία, ενισχύοντας τη σύνδεση και τη σχέση με τα παιδιά τους.Με σεβασμό στη μοναδικότητα κάθε ανθρώπου, δημιουργεί ένα ασφαλές και υποστηρικτικό θεραπευτικό πλαίσιο, μέσα στο οποίο μπορεί να αναπτυχθεί η αυτογνωσία, η προσωπική εξέλιξη και η ουσιαστική αλλαγή.

What it is

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

Identifying the distortions in a person's thinking that are causing problems and then examining these in the light of reality. Understanding the behaviour and motivations of others and using problem-solving skills to deal with difficult situations. Dealing with fears rather than avoiding them.

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.

Approach

Each person is a combination of mind, emotions, body and soul with unique experiences and events. No single life event, personality trait or psychological diagnosis defines you.

Systemic psychotherapy
mental health

What it is

Systemic psychotherapy is an approach about how the individual acts as part of a wider group or broader system of relationships: family, partner relationship, work, friendships, and social environment. This approach connects communication and interaction patterns with a problem or a difficulty that the individual may be experiencing.

Approach

Systemic psychotherapy identifies behavioral patterns within a persons’ relationships and in the way someone connects with others. 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.
