Focusing-Based Experiential Approach Humanistic Therapy Person-Centered Psychotherapy
About the specialist

As a psychotherapist, I work with a calm, steady presence and offer a setting of safety, respect, and genuineness, where what you experience can be heard at your own pace. My approach is person-centered and non-directive: the goal is not to “change you,” but to create space for you to recognize what you feel, what you need, and how you wish to care for yourself. I accompany adults facing anxiety, sadness or low mood, burnout, fear/panic, relationship difficulties, grief, and self-esteem concerns. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and the consistency of small steps: through quiet, attentive meetings, needs and boundaries come into focus, and more care is cultivated in everyday life. If this way of working feels right, it would be a pleasure to meet.

Η θεραπευτική του προσέγγιση βασίζεται στις αρχές της συστημικής θεωρίας, με επιρροές από τη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφοριστική Θεραπεία (CBT) και τη Λακανική ψυχανάλυση. Η θεραπευτική του στάση προσβλέπει τη θεραπεία, ως μια διαλογική και αλληλεπιδραστική διαδικασία, κατά την οποία το νόημα και η αλλαγή προκύπτουν μέσα από τη θεραπευτική σχέση και τη συν-κατανόηση. Κεντρικές αξίες που διέπουν την προσέγγιση του, είναι η αυθεντικότητα, ο αναστοχασμός, η συμμετοχικότητα στη θεραπευτική σχέση και η διάθεση επανεξέτασης των αφηγήσεων που οργανώνουν την εμπειρία και τη ζωή του/της θεραπευόμενου/ης.

Έχει αποκτήσει κλινική εμπειρία μέσω πρακτικής άσκησης σε δομές όπως ο Οίκος Ευγηρίας “Λεώνια”, καθώς και μέσω εθελοντισμού στην ΑμΚΕ “Καρκινάκι”.

Δεσμεύεται στη διαρκή επιμόρφωση και εποπτεία, με στόχο την υπεύθυνη, επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένη και με σεβασμό παρουσία στη θεραπευτική διαδικασία.

Έχει συμμετάσχει σε πλήθος σεμιναρίων και εκπαιδευτικών δράσεων, όπως:

    •    Σεμινάριο Ψυχοεκπαίδευσης, Metropolitan College

    •    Σεμινάριο Κλινικής Ψυχανάλυσης (Ψ.Ν.Α. – Α.Κ.Σ.Π.Α.)

Παράλληλα, συμμετέχει σε εκπαιδευτικές δραστηριότητες ως εισηγητής σε σεμινάρια ψυχολογίας και επόπτης πτυχιακών εργασιών σε φοιτητές/τριες Ψυχολογίας. Έχει επίσης συμμετάσχει ως ομιλητής (individual speaker) σε διεθνές επιστημονικό συνέδριο, παρουσιάζοντας ερευνητική εργασία.

Στο θεραπευτικό πλαίσιο υποστηρίζει άτομα που αντιμετωπίζουν άγχος, συναισθηματικές δυσκολίες, εσωτερικές συγκρούσεις, δυσκολίες στις διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις, απώλεια και ζητήματα αυτοεκτίμησης.

Σήμερα εργάζεται ιδιωτικά, προσφέροντας ατομικές συνεδρίες δια ζώσης και διαδικτυακά. Στο πλαίσιο της θεραπευτικής του πρακτικής, η διαδικασία προσεγγίζεται ως ένας χώρος διαλόγου και συνεργασίας, όπου οι εμπειρίες, οι σκέψεις και τα συναισθήματα μπορούν να εκφραστούν και να διερευνηθούν με ασφάλεια. Μέσα από αυτή τη διερεύνηση, οι προσωπικές αφηγήσεις μπορούν να επανεξεταστούν και να αποκτήσουν νέα νοήματα, ανοίγοντας τη δυνατότητα για διαφορετικούς τρόπους κατανόησης του εαυτού και των σχέσεων.

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.
