From early years and throughout a person's life, certain thought patterns as well as cognitive and behavioral "habits" are formed that are not always functional and often lead to dysphoric feelings or complicate our relationship with ourselves or others.

In therapy, the goal is to establish a therapeutic alliance and collaboration to identify these patterns. By setting realistic goals and considering objective environmental challenges, the individual begins to gain self-awareness, practice self-acceptance and self-compassion, and through a range of tools, develops new mechanisms for managing the self, relationships, and everyday situations.

Με πάνω από 15 χρόνια εμπειρίας στον χώρο της ψυχικής υγείας, διατηρώ ιδιωτικό γραφείο από το 2010, ενώ τα τελευταία δύο χρόνια δραστηριοποιούμαι ενεργά τόσο στην Καλαμάτα όσο και στην Αθήνα, προσφέροντας σύγχρονες και εξατομικευμένες υπηρεσίες ψυχοθεραπείας και συμβουλευτικής.

Είμαι Ψυχολόγος MSc και Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια, με ισχυρό ακαδημαϊκό υπόβαθρο από αναγνωρισμένα πανεπιστήμια της Αγγλίας. Κατέχω πτυχίο Ψυχολογίας (BSc in Psychology (Hons)) από το University of Bedfordshire και μεταπτυχιακό τίτλο (MSc in Counselling Psychology (Hons)) από το University of Roehampton. Η εκπαίδευσή μου δεν περιορίστηκε μόνο στη θεωρία, αλλά εστιάστηκε στην ουσιαστική κατανόηση του ανθρώπου και στην πρακτική εφαρμογή σύγχρονων θεραπευτικών προσεγγίσεων.

Σημαντικό σταθμό στην επαγγελματική μου εξέλιξη αποτελεί η τετραετής εξειδίκευσή μου στη ψυχοθεραπεία Gestalt, μέσα από το Gestalt Foundation, που διαμόρφωσε τον τρόπο με τον οποίο προσεγγίζω τον άνθρωπο ολιστικά και με σεβασμό στη μοναδικότητά του. Παράλληλα, έχω εκπαιδευτεί σε σύγχρονες, διεθνώς αναγνωρισμένες μεθόδους θεραπείας τραύματος, όπως EMDR, DBR, CRM και Brainspotting, ενισχύοντας διαρκώς το θεραπευτικό μου έργο με αποτελεσματικά εργαλεία.

Επιπλέον, η εκπαίδευσή μου στο Life Coaching με εξειδίκευση στο Relationship Coaching (ICF accredited), δίπλα στην Jill Douka (MCC), μου επιτρέπει να υποστηρίζω ουσιαστικά ανθρώπους που επιθυμούν να βελτιώσουν τις σχέσεις τους, να ενισχύσουν την αυτοπεποίθησή τους και να προχωρήσουν σε ουσιαστικές αλλαγές στη ζωή τους.

Η επαγγελματική μου πορεία περιλαμβάνει συνεργασίες με σημαντικούς οργανισμούς στην Ελλάδα και το εξωτερικό, όπως το Kingston Women’s Centre και το Wandsworth Prison Counselling Centre στο Λονδίνο, καθώς και το Δίκτυο Γυναικών Ευρώπης και το κέντρο «Κιναίσθηση» στην Αθήνα. Σήμερα, μεταξύ άλλων συνεργάζομαι με τη Hellas EAP, παρέχοντας υπηρεσίες που στοχεύουν στην ενίσχυση της ψυχικής ανθεκτικότητας και της ευεξίας στον εργασιακό χώρο.

Στο επίκεντρο της δουλειάς μου βρίσκεται πάντα ο άνθρωπος. Μέσα από μια εξατομικευμένη προσέγγιση, δημιουργώ ένα ασφαλές και υποστηρικτικό περιβάλλον, όπου κάθε θεραπευόμενος μπορεί να νιώσει εμπιστοσύνη, να κατανοήσει βαθύτερα τον εαυτό του και να προχωρήσει σε ουσιαστικές, διαρκείς αλλαγές.

Αν νιώθετε ότι ήρθε η στιγμή να επενδύσετε στον εαυτό σας, είμαι εδώ για να σας συνοδεύσω με εμπειρία, ενσυναίσθηση και επιστημονική γνώση σε αυτή τη διαδρομή.

Έχει εκπονήσει πρακτική άσκηση στον Δήμο Μεταμόρφωσης Αττικής και στο Ινστιτούτο Σχεσιακής και Ομαδικής Ψυχοθεραπείας για 3 έτη συνολικά. Κατά την επαγγελματική της πορεία έχει εργαστεί επίσης σε Κέντρο Ειδικών Θεραπειών ως ψυχολόγος διεξάγοντας συνεδρίες παιδιών, εφήβων και ενηλίκων αλλά και συμβουλευτική γονέων.

Ανήκει στην συγγραφική ομάδα του τρίτου συλλογικού τόμου Σχεσιακής Ψυχανάλυσης και Ομαδικής Ψυχοθεραπείας και έχει εκδόσει άρθρο της στο επιστημονικό περιοδικό της Ένωσης Ομαδικών Ψυχοθεραπευτών της Αμερικής (EGPS). Έχει συμμετάσχει με ομιλίες σε διεθνή και ελληνικά συνέδρια, ενώ παράλληλα στα πλαίσια προσωπικής εξέλιξης παρακολουθεί πολυάριθμα σεμινάρια και συνέδρια στην Ελλάδα και το εξωτερικό.

Εργάζεται ψυχοθεραπευτικά και παρέχει ατομική και ομαδική ψυχοθεραπεία σε ενήλικες και εφήβους, δια ζώσης και διαδικτυακά.

Για την ίδια, η ψυχοθεραπεία – ατομική και ομαδική – είναι ένας χώρος συνάντησης, μια εμπειρία διαλόγου με τον εαυτό και τους άλλους, μια ευκαιρία καθρεφτίσματος και δοκιμασιών. Αυτό που αναδύεται από τη θεραπευτική διαδικασία δεν είναι απλώς η αλλαγή του ατόμου, αλλά η κατανόηση του πώς υπάρχουμε μαζί.

Οι σπουδές αυτές διαμόρφωσαν μια διευρυμένη ματιά πάνω στην ανθρώπινη εμπειρία και ανέπτυξαν την ικανότητα παρατήρησης των λεπτομερειών, της έκφρασης και της αφήγησης — στοιχεία που αποτελούν ουσιώδες μέρος της ψυχοθεραπευτικής της ταυτότητας. Η καλλιτεχνική και πολιτισμική της εκπαίδευση καλλιέργησε μια βαθιά ενσυναίσθηση, ευαισθησία και δημιουργικότητα απέναντι στην ανθρώπινη ψυχή, εμπλουτίζοντας τον τρόπο με τον οποίο προσεγγίζει και συνοδεύει τους θεραπευόμενούς της. Βρίσκεται σε εποπτεία και προσωπική θεραπεία σταθερά, σε εβδομαδιαία βάση από την αρχή της επαγγελματικής της πορείας, σε ατομικό και ομαδικό πλαίσιο, ενώ προσφέρει δια ζώσης και διαδικτυακές συνεδρίες.

Στο θεραπευτικό της έργο εστιάζει στη σχέση ως βασικό πεδίο προσωπικής ανάπτυξης και ψυχικής αλλαγής, καθώς και σε ζητήματα όπως την διαχείριση άγχους και κρίσεων πανικού, κατάθλιψη, θλίψη και πένθος, φοβίες και διατροφικές διαταραχές, διαχείριση θυμού και συναισθηματικής έντασης, αυτοεικόνα, αυτοεκτίμηση και προσωπική ανάπτυξη, ζητήματα σχέσεων, ορίων και συναισθηματικής εγγύτητας, θέματα σεξουαλικότητας και σεξουαλικού προσανατολισμού.
