About the specialist

Gesthimani Pantelidou is a Mental Health Counselor - Psychotherapist and has been running the Mental Health Center - "aniGma" in Nea Smyrni for the past 7 years. She deals with issues related to personal anxieties, difficulties and dilemmas, family matters, issues and challenges concerning adolescents and the elderly, as well as emotional, psychosomatic, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress, and the management of loss and grief. Additionally, as a personal coach with extensive experience in the business sector, she supports the encouragement of change, motivation, utilization of personal potential, enhancement of self-confidence and self-esteem, management of indecisiveness, as well as goal setting and achievement. Based on the Synthetic Approach, she combines techniques from Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Psychodynamic therapies, as well as personal coaching techniques, to flexibly adapt to the needs and personality of each client. In today’s era of general disorientation and loneliness, the human individual strives to cope with pain, fear, and anxiety arising from the ambiguity of their constantly changing life. Psychological support and counseling sessions aim to reveal the distinctly personal functional adaptation method of the individual to the present and future of their life, discovering the unused potentials of their soul in conjunction with the ongoing cultivation of their communication skills with their environment.

“...I am not entirely guilty for the life I lead, since I did not choose it, nor am I entirely innocent from the moment I continue it...”

About the specialist

Η Δήμητρα Μουσιώνη είναι Προσωποκεντρική Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας και βιωματική/ Focusing ψυχοθεραπεύτρια σε διαδικασία πιστοποίησης, πιστοποιημένη εκπαιδεύτρια γονέων (Attached at the Heart Parent Educator) από το Attachment Parenting Hellas. Διατηρεί το ιδιωτικό της γραφείο στη Νέα Σμύρνη. Σπούδασε Επικοινωνία, Μέσα και Πολιτισμό (κατεύθυνση Δημοσιογραφίας) στο Πάντειο Πανεπιστήμιο και εργάστηκε ως δημοσιογράφος (διεθνή, ελεύθερο και εκπαιδευτικό ρεπορτάζ) στην ΕΡΤ και την Ελευθεροτυπία. Η γέννηση του παιδιού της σήμανε την έναρξη ενός κύκλου αναζήτησης, θεραπείας και προσωπικής ανάπτυξης. Ακολούθησαν πολλές εκπαιδεύσεις και σεμινάρια σχετικά με τη γονεϊκότητα, την εκπαίδευση, την ανάπτυξη του παιδιού, τη σημασία του παιχνιδιού και το τραύμα, τις οποίες συνεχίζει έως σήμερα. 

Έχει εργαστεί εθελοντικά στο Ελληνικό Δίκτυο Γυναικών Ευρώπης, στη Γραμμή ΣΟΣ Δίπλα σου για την πρόληψη και αντιμετώπιση της έμφυλης βίας και στο Τμήμα Συμβουλευτικής και Ψυχοθεραπείας του Ελληνικού Κέντρου Focusing, παρέχοντας συνεδρίες σε ενήλικες με ΔΕΠΥ. 

Έχει πραγματοποιήσει περισσότερες από 200 ώρες ατομικής θεραπείας και βρίσκεται σε σταθερό εποπτικό πλαίσιο. Επιπλέον, έχει παρακολουθήσει τουλάχιστον 160 ώρες επιμορφώσεων και σεμιναρίων, καθώς και πολυάριθμα διεθνή και εγχώρια συνέδρια.

Είναι απλό τακτικό μέλος της Ελληνικής Εταιρείας Συμβουλευτικής, trainee member του International Focusing Institute της Νέας Υόρκης (TIFI), student member του World Association for Person–Centered and Experiential Psychotherapy and Counseling, δόκιμο μέλος της Ελληνικής Προσωποκεντρικής και Βιωματικής Εταιρείας (ΕΠΒΕ) και μέλος του Συλλόγου Messy Play Greece & Cyprus.

Επέλεξε την Προσωποκεντρική καθώς είναι από τις λίγες θεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις όπου η θεραπεύτρια δεν μπαίνει με την ταμπέλα της ειδικού στη θεραπευτική σχέση. Αντίθετα, αναγνωρίζοντας τα προνόμια και τις ευθύνες του ρόλου της, υποστηρίζει, διευκολύνει και συνοδεύει τα θεραπευόμενα στη δική τους μοναδική διαδικασία. Παράλληλα, πιστεύει ότι ο ενσυναισθητικός, με αποδοχή και αυθεντικότητα τρόπος συνοδείας των ανθρώπων αποτελεί τη βάση κάθε συμβουλευτικής και θεραπευτικής σχέσης.

Εμπιστεύεται και έχει βιώσει τη μεταμορφωτική δύναμη της διαδικασίας εστίασης (Focusing), μέσω της επαφής με τη βιωμένη αίσθηση, το άνοιγμα του εσωτερικού χώρου και τη δημιουργία σχέσης ασφάλειας και εμπιστοσύνης με το αισθητηριακό σώμα. 

Η προσέγγισή της εστιάζει στη σημασία της σχέσης και του ασφαλούς συναισθηματικού δεσμού, του τραύματος και της λειτουργίας του αυτόνομου νευρικού συστήματος. Επιπλέον, αναγνωρίζει τη σημασία της επιβεβαιωτικής στάσης ως προς τη νευροποικιλότητα, τα φύλα και τις σεξουαλικότητες.

Αγαπά το διάβασμα, το παιχνίδι, τον χορό, τα ταξίδια και κυρίως το να ξεμαθαίνει και να μαθαίνει συνεχώς.

Στο θεραπευτικό πλαίσιο δίνεται έμφαση στην ασφάλεια, την εμπιστοσύνη και τον σεβασμό στον ρυθμό του κάθε ανθρώπου, ιδιαίτερα όταν υπάρχει δυσκολία στη λεκτική έκφραση ή στο άμεσο άνοιγμα. Ιδιαίτερο μέρος της δουλειάς της αποτελεί η σύνδεση ψυχολογίας, διαλογιστικής διερεύνησης και δημιουργικών θεραπευτικών εργαλείων, μέσα από ήπιες και χαμηλής έκθεσης διαδικασίες.
