Πιστεύοντας βαθιά ότι κάθε άνθρωπος είναι μοναδικός, ακολουθεί τη Συνθετική Προσέγγιση, η οποία της επιτρέπει να συνδυάζει διαφορετικά θεραπευτικά εργαλεία και να προσαρμόζει τη διαδικασία στις προσωπικές ανάγκες κάθε θεραπευόμενου.

Διαθέτει πτυχίο Ψυχολογίας (Bachelor) από το Cardiff Metropolitan University και μεταπτυχιακό τίτλο σπουδών (Master) στη Συνθετική Ψυχοθεραπεία, έχοντας ολοκληρώσει τους δύο κύκλους σπουδών με αριστεία. Η πτυχιακή της έρευνα επικεντρώθηκε στις θεωρίες δεσμού προσκόλλησης και αφήγησης, ενώ η μεταπτυχιακή της διατριβή εξειδικεύτηκε στην έκφραση και διαχείριση του θυμού μέσω της Εικαστικής Ψυχοθεραπείας (Art Therapy).

Με γνώμονα την ολοκληρωμένη υποστήριξη παιδιών και εφήβων, έχει αποκτήσει Certificate εξειδίκευσης στην Παιγνιοθεραπεία από το Play Therapy Greece, καθώς και μονοετές δίπλωμα στη Συμβουλευτική Ψυχολογία από την Pearson Education. Η φαρέτρα των θεραπευτικών εργαλείων που χρησιμοποιεί, εμπλουτίζεται συνεχώς μέσα από εξειδικευμένα σεμινάρια πάνω στους μηχανισμούς άμυνας, την ανάλυση παιδικού ιχνογραφήματος και το Messy Play.

Η πολυετής κλινική της εμπειρία σε κέντρο παιδιών και εφήβων, καθώς και η ιδιωτική της πρακτική, της έχουν προσφέρει βαθιά κατανόηση των αναπτυξιακών και συναισθηματικών προκλήσεων. Είναι τακτικό μέλος του Συλλόγου Επαγγελματιών Θεραπευτών μέσω Τέχνης και του Διεθνούς Οργανισμού Παιγνιοθεραπείας (Play Therapy International). Με στόχο τη διασφάλιση της υψηλότερης ποιότητας των υπηρεσιών της και την τήρηση της δεοντολογίας, βρίσκεται υπό σταθερή και συστηματική εποπτεία.

Στόχος της είναι να συνδιαμορφώσει με τον θεραπευόμενο ένα ασφαλές περιβάλλον αποδοχής, όπου θα μπορέσει να εξερευνήσει τον εαυτό του και να εξελιχθεί.

About the specialist

Η Βογιατζή Σοφία BSc, MSc είναι Ψυχολόγος με ειδίκευση στην Προσωποκεντρική ψυχοθεραπεία και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στην Αθήνα.

Η επιλογή της να ασχοληθεί με την ψυχολογία προέκυψε από το ενδιαφέρον της για τον άνθρωπο, τις σχέσεις και τον τρόπο με τον οποίο ο καθένας βιώνει και νοηματοδοτεί την εμπειρία του.

Στο πλαίσιο της δουλειάς της, στόχος της είναι να προσφέρει έναν ασφαλή και υποστηρικτικό χώρο, όπου κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να εκφραστεί ελεύθερα, χωρίς φόβο κριτικής, έτσι όπως ακριβώς είναι. Πιστεύει βαθιά, ότι ο καθένας έχει μέσα του τη δυνατότητα για κατανόηση, εξέλιξη και αλλαγή, όταν βρεθεί στο κατάλληλο περιβάλλον όπου νοιώθει και είναι αποδεκτός χωρίς όρους.

Η προσέγγισή της βασίζεται στην αυθεντική σχέση, την ενσυναίσθηση και τον σεβασμό στη μοναδικότητα του κάθε ατόμου. Δίνει έμφαση στον ρυθμό και τις ανάγκες του θεραπευόμενου, συνοδεύοντάς τον στο μονοπάτι προς τη συνάντηση με τον εαυτό του και την προσωπική του ανάπτυξη.

Η εφηβεία είναι μια περίοδος σημαντικών αλλαγών και προκλήσεων και έτσι η θεραπευτική υποστήριξη μπορεί να βοηθήσει τον έφηβο να εκφράσει σκέψεις και συναισθήματα, να ενισχύσει την αυτοπεποίθησή του και να διαχειριστεί τις δυσκολίες της καθημερινότητας. Επιπλέον παρέχει συμβουλευτική υποστήριξη, μια βραχυπρόθεσμη υποστήριξη για συγκεκριμένες δυσκολίες ή αποφάσεις ζωής, με στόχο την κατανόηση και την εύρεση τρόπων διαχείρισης.

It is used for people with suicidal behavior, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorder, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety.
