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.

She is suitable because she combines specialized knowledge with authenticity, empathy, and a deep understanding of the problems. Additionally, her experience helps her design the therapeutic plan and provide solutions to the patient based on their needs and experiences. Furthermore, the approach she applies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is an ideal method not only for disorders such as depression and anxiety but also for other issues that may affect daily life. Finally, her goal is always to provide the best possible service and the fastest relief for the patient, focusing on their personal goals and requests.

Additionally, she received training in the Portage Early Intervention System from the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Unit, as well as in the Montessori Teaching Method from the Maria Goudeli School. Throughout her career, she has collaborated with numerous psychological support centers. Currently, in her private adult counseling and psychotherapy practice, she provides individual and group therapy with an emphasis on the integrative model. Her psychotherapeutic approach is based on a model that assumes the diversity of individuals and the complexity of the person do not conform to a single model of human behavior, and therefore no single approach is sufficient. Since the factors influencing human behavior are numerous and unique to each individual, a tailored model must be developed to meet the specific needs of each person at a given time. Finally, sessions are also available in English.
