About the specialist

Karavaltsiou Vasiliki is a Psychologist - Psychotherapist who maintains a private practice in Koukaki, where she provides individual sessions, couples therapy, and group therapy. She is a graduate of the Department of Psychology at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and holds a postgraduate degree. Additionally, she specialized in Systemic Psychotherapy and Counseling after four years of training. She has extensive professional experience, having previously worked in school environments, public mental health institutions, as well as organizations, offering psychological support to children, adolescents, families, and socially vulnerable groups. Within a stable and safe environment, the individual's presence is accepted as they are — with their thoughts, emotions, contradictions, and silences. The therapeutic relationship becomes a meeting place; a space where one can authentically be, be meaningfully heard, and begin to gain deeper understanding of themselves and their way of relating to others. Amid the pressures and fast pace of modern daily life, personal needs do not have to shout to be heard. They are approached with respect, care, and time. From there begins a journey that is not predetermined but shaped step-by-step, at a pace that suits each individual and their needs.

About the specialist

Pantazis Xristos is a psychologist with a degree in Psychology from Middlesex University in the United Kingdom. In 2009, he attended an annual seminar at Aeginiteio Hospital titled "Clinical Psychopathology." His interest in the functioning of the subconscious led him, in 2011, to obtain a diploma in "Clinical Hypnotherapy" and later a diploma in "Advanced Practice in Clinical Hypnotherapy."

In 2020, he participated in the training program "Adult Educators Training," as well as the program "Management of Parental Separation - Divorce" from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Since 2017, when he was licensed to practice as a psychologist, he has worked in his private practice, where he exclusively conducts individual sessions, addressing cases based on the personalized needs of each individual.

Mr. Pantazis states, “When someone arrives at a psychologist's office, they are often ready to approach the prospect of change in certain situations that concern them. In most cases, change arises through the adoption of a different way of thinking. Thinking is a form of listening – an internal listening. Who is the one speaking? Why do we listen to them? What are the reasons behind our actions or reactions to what we hear? To achieve a desired outcome, it is important to understand that the goal is to change the way we listen to ourselves.” If the way of thinking is repetitive and leads to specific outcomes, it is considered a mechanism.

In his office, you will observe these mechanisms and aim to negotiate or reconsider their usefulness. His invitation to clients is clear:

“Talk to me so I can negotiate with the one trying to be heard!”

About the specialist

Ο Τσιώλης Νικόλαος είναι Ψυχολόγος και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στο Σύνταγμα. Είναι απόφοιτος του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Παντείου Πανεπιστημίου Κοινωνικών και Πολιτικών Επιστημών. Η επιστημονική και ψυχοθεραπευτική του διαδρομή είναι σταθερά προσανατολισμένη στην υποστήριξη ευάλωτων πληθυσμών, στη βαθιά προσπάθεια κατανόησης και ερμηνείας της ανθρώπινης συμπεριφοράς και στη διαρκή εμβάθυνση των ψυχοδυναμικών διεργασιών που διαμορφώνουν τον ψυχισμό του ανθρώπου.

Από το 2023 φοιτά στο τετραετές πρόγραμμα εκπαίδευσης στη Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Εργαστήριο Διερεύνησης Ανθρώπινων Σχέσεων (Ε.Ε.). Η συστημική προσέγγιση, με την εστίασή της στις σχέσεις, τις παθογένειες και τα δυναμικά κάθε συστήματος, εμπλουτίζει καθοριστικά τη ψυχοθεραπευτική του ματιά και ενισχύει την κατανόηση του ατόμου ως φορέα νοήματος και εμπλοκής μέσα σε ευρύτερα κοινωνικά και οικογενειακά πλαίσια. Η συστημική ψυχοθεραπευτική προσέγγιση και η ειδίκευσή του σε αυτήν συμβάλλει σε μια ολιστική ψυχοθεραπευτική παρέμβαση με επίκεντρο το άτομο και τις σημαντικές για εκείνο διαπροσωπικές του σχέσεις.

Παράλληλα, παρακολουθεί σε τακτική βάση επιμορφωτικά σεμινάρια με επίκεντρο την ψυχαναλυτική ψυχοθεραπεία, τα οποία λειτουργούν για εκείνον ως χώρος στοχασμού και εμβάθυνσης στις ασυνείδητες πτυχές της ψυχικής λειτουργίας. Η ψυχαναλυτική σκέψη παραμένει για τον ίδιο θεμέλιο στη ψυχοθεραπευτική προσέγγιση, προσφέροντας γλώσσα και εργαλείο για την κατανόηση της ενδοψυχικής ζωής, της επανάληψης, της επιθυμίας και του τραύματος.

Η συνθετική οπτική που προσφέρεται από τη διαρκής του επιμόρφωση στα δυο αυτά ψυχοθεραπευτικά μοντέλα αποτελεί αρωγό για την βέλτιστη παροχή υπηρεσιών με επιστημονική κατάρτιση και ανθρωποκεντρικό προσανατολισμό.

Στο πλαίσιο της ακαδημαϊκής του δραστηριότητας, συντονίζει για δύο διαδοχικά εξάμηνα στο Πάντειο Πανεπιστήμιο Κοινωνικών και Πολιτικών Επιστημών την εφαρμογή του Προγράμματος Ομαδικής Συμβουλευτικής, με τίτλο «Ποια είναι η δική σου υπερδύναμη;», με τη συμμετοχή προπτυχιακών φοιτητών. Το έργο αυτό εστιάζει στη μελέτη των δυνατών στοιχείων του χαρακτήρα του κάθε ατόμου το πως αυτά επηρεάζουν την αυτοεικόνα και την καριέρα του και πως γνωρίζοντας τα μπορεί να τα εφαρμόσει σε ένα ομαδικό πλαίσιο, με τη χρήση βιωματικών ασκήσεων.

Το 2020, πραγματοποίησε την πρακτική του άσκηση στον Συμβουλευτικό Σταθμό του Δήμου Πετρούπολης, όπου είχε την ευκαιρία να ασκηθεί στην ψυχολογική αξιολόγηση, στη λήψη ιστορικού και στη συμβουλευτική στήριξη πολιτών που απευθύνονταν στη δομή. Υπό τη συνεχή εποπτεία διεπιστημονικής ομάδας, συμμετείχε ενεργά στη διαμόρφωση θεραπευτικών πλάνων, αναπτύσσοντας δεξιότητες σύνδεσης, κατανόησης και ανάλυσης σύνθετων κλινικών δεδομένων.

Το 2021, προσέφερε εθελοντικά τις υπηρεσίες μου στον ΟΚΑΝΑ (Οργανισμός Κατά των Ναρκωτικών) και ειδικότερα στο Κέντρο Εποπτευόμενης Χρήσης «ΣΤΕΚΙ 46», στο πλαίσιο παρεμβάσεων μείωσης της βλάβης. Συμμετείχε σε ατομικές συνεδρίες με ενεργούς χρήστες, σε παρεμβάσεις συναισθηματικής αποφόρτισης και σε δράσεις «street work». Το έργο αυτό τον έφερε σε επαφή με την πραγματικότητα του κοινωνικού αποκλεισμού και της εξάρτησης, ενισχύοντας την κατανόησή του για την ψυχική δυσφορία σε περιβάλλοντα αυξημένου κινδύνου.

Από τον Ιανουάριο του 2024 έως σήμερα, εργάζεται ως Ψυχολόγος στο «Χατζηπατέρειο» Κέντρο Αποκατάστασης και Στήριξης Παιδιού (Ίδρυμα Κοινωνικής Εργασίας). Εδώ, έχει την ευθύνη για τη διεξαγωγή ατομικών και ομαδικών συνεδριών ψυχολογικής υποστήριξης σε παιδιά και τις οικογένειές τους, τη συμμετοχή σε διεπιστημονικές ομάδες αξιολόγησης, καθώς και σε εποπτικές ομάδες προσωπικού με την συνεργασία παιδοψυχιάτρου. Έχει αναλάβει τη θέση του Υπευθύνου Παιδικής Προστασίας, καθώς και τον συντονισμό του προγράμματος εθελοντισμού και πρακτικής άσκησης του Κέντρου. Επιπλέον, διενεργεί ψυχολογικές αξιολογήσεις παιδιών με τη χρήση του ψυχομετρικού εργαλείου WISC-V, συμβάλλοντας στην ολιστική κατανόηση των αναγκών και δυνατοτήτων τους.

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

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

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
