About the specialist

Η Χαρτοφύλακα Αρετή είναι Κλινική Ψυχολόγος με βασικό πτυχίο Ψυχολογίας από το Πανεπιστήμιο του Essex, το οποίο ολοκλήρωσε με Άριστα (Hons), και Μεταπτυχιακό τίτλο (MSc) στην Κλινική Ψυχολογία του πανεπιστημίου του Lancashire. Επιπλέον, έχει λάβει εκπαίδευση στη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική Θεραπεία (CBT) από το Κέντρο Εφαρμοσμένης Ψυχοθεραπείας και Συμβουλευτικής για παιδιά, εφήβους και ενήλικες και είναι εγγεγραμμένο μέλος στο μητρώο εκπαιδευτών ενηλίκων του Παντείου πανεπιστημίου.Έχει εργαστεί σε κλινικά πλαίσια με κλινικό πληθυσμό και έχει προσφέρει εθελοντική εργασία σε ξενώνες ψυχοκοινωνικής αποκατάστασης ενηλίκων και εφήβων, παρέχοντας ψυχολογική αξιολόγηση και ψυχοθεραπευτική υποστήριξη σε άτομα με σύνθετες ψυχικές και ψυχοκοινωνικές δυσκολίες.

Παράλληλα με την κλινική της πορεία, δραστηριοποιείται συγγραφικά και καλλιτεχνικά. Είναι συγγραφέας του βιβλίου «Αληθινές Γυναίκες», το οποίο καταγράφει δεκαπέντε αληθινές ιστορίες γυναικών που έχουν υποστεί ενδοοικογενειακή βία σε διαφορετικές μορφές — ψυχολογική, λεκτική, σωματική, σεξουαλική, οικονομική και συναισθηματική. Μέσα από βιωματικές αφηγήσεις, το έργο αναδεικνύει τον τρόπο που ασκείται η βία στις διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις, τις επιπτώσεις της κακοποίησης στην ψυχική υγεία, και στην αυτοαντίληψη, δίνοντας έμφαση στην σημασία της αναγνώρισης της βίας και του δικαιώματος της επιλογής της γυναίκας να φεύγει για να ξαναβρεί την χαμένη της δύναμη και τη δυνατότητα επαναπροσδιορισμού του εαυτού.

Στο πλαίσιο της κλινικής της πρακτικής παρέχει ατομική ψυχοθεραπεία σε εφήβους και ενήλικες. Εργάζεται με ζητήματα άγχους, συναισθηματικών δυσκολιών, αυτοεκτίμησης και αυτοεικόνας, διαπροσωπικών σχέσεων, εθιστικών συμπεριφορών,διατροφικών διαταραχών, καθώς και εμπειρίες σχολικού, διαδικτυακού και εργασιακού bullying. Παράλληλα, παρέχει εξειδικευμένη ψυχολογική υποστήριξη σε θύματα ενδοοικογενειακής βίας, με έμφαση στη δημιουργία συνθηκών ασφάλειας, στην ενδυνάμωση και στην αποκατάσταση της ψυχικής ανθεκτικότητας.

Στην εργασία της με εφήβους, εστιάζει στις συναισθηματικές και αγχώδεις διαταραχές της εφηβείας (συμπεριλαμβανομένων των εφήβων με Μαθησιακές Δυσκολίες και ΔΕΠ-Υ), στη διαχείριση θυμού, στις δυσκολίες ορίων και σχέσεων, στη σχολική και κοινωνική προσαρμογή και στην ενίσχυση της αυτονομίας, με

παρεμβάσεις προσαρμοσμένες στο αναπτυξιακό στάδιο και, όπου κρίνεται σκόπιμο, σε συνεργασία με την οικογένεια.

Διαθέτει εξειδίκευση σε ζητήματα βίας και κακοποιητικών δυναμικών, όπως η ενδοοικογενειακή βία, η συναισθηματική εξάρτηση, το σχολικό και διαδικτυακό bullying, καθώς και το εργασιακό bullying (Mobbing). Παράλληλα, εργάζεται θεραπευτικά πάνω στις διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις με βάση τη θεωρία και τους τύπους προσκόλλησης (ασφαλής, αγχώδης, αποφευκτική, αποδιοργανωμένη), υποστηρίζοντας τα άτομα στην κατανόηση επαναλαμβανόμενων σχεσιακών μοτίβων.

Στη θεραπευτική της προσέγγιση, ο στόχος δεν περιορίζεται μόνο στη μείωση των συμπτωμάτων, αλλά επεκτείνεται στη βαθύτερη ανθρώπινη αυτοπραγμάτωση, την αυθεντικότητα, την προσωπική εξέλιξη και την ουσιαστική σύνδεση με τον εαυτό και τους άλλους.

Τα ερευνητικά της ενδιαφέροντα εστιάζονται στον ναρκισσισμό, στη συναισθηματική νοημοσύνη, στους τύπους προσκόλλησης και στις ψυχοσυναισθηματικές ανάγκες του χαρισματικού πληθυσμού.

Έχει πραγματοποιήσει διαλέξεις και ψυχοεκπαιδευτικές παρεμβάσεις σε σχολεία και φορείς με θεματικές που αφορούν το bullying, το Mobbing καθώς και τις

ανθρώπινες σχέσεις και την επικοινωνία, συμβάλλοντας ενεργά στην πρόληψη, την ενδυνάμωση και την ευαισθητοποίηση της κοινότητας.

Παρακολουθεί συνεχή προσωπική ψυχοθεραπεία και συστηματική κλινική εποπτεία, σύμφωνα με τους κανόνες ηθικής και δεοντολογίας, και συνεχίζει ενεργά τη διαρκή

επαγγελματική της επιμόρφωση μέσω σεμιναρίων και επιστημονικών εκπαιδεύσεων. Διακρίνεται για την κοινωνική της ευαισθησία, τον σεβασμό στη διαφορετικότητα και την επαγγελματική ακεραιότητα.

Στόχος της είναι να υποστηρίζει τα άτομα όχι μόνο στην αντιμετώπιση των δυσκολιών τους, αλλά στη βαθύτερη κατανόηση του εαυτού, στην ανάπτυξη πιο ασφαλών τρόπων σύνδεσης και στη βελτίωση της ποιότητας ζωής, μέσα από μια ασφαλή, συνεργατική και επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένη θεραπευτική σχέση.

Η Καράμπαλη Ελένη MSc είναι Κλινική Ψυχολόγος - Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στα Εξάρχεια. Είναι απόφοιτος του Πανεπιστημίου Καρόλου της Πράγας, με άδεια ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος (Αρ.πρωτ. 8234) και πολυετή εμπειρία στην υποστήριξη ενηλίκων, εφήβων και παιδιών. Έχει εκπαιδευτεί στη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική Θεραπεία (CBT) και στην Art Therapy, καθώς και σε πρωτόκολλα παρέμβασης σε τραύμα και ψυχολογική παρέμβαση σε κρίση. Στην πορεία της καριέρας της έχει εργαστεί σε διαφορετικά περιβάλλοντα ψυχικής υγείας στην Ελλάδα (Παιδικά Χωριά SOS, Ελληνικός Ερυθρός Σταυρός) και στο εξωτερικό, υποστηρίζοντας κυρίως ευάλωτες ομάδες. Σήμερα διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στο κέντρο της Αθήνας και εργάζεται στο Ελληνικό Συμβούλιο για τους Πρόσφυγες, αναλαμβάνοντας την ψυχολογική στήριξη παιδιών, εφήβων και γονέων. Εξειδικεύεται στη διαχείριση άγχους, κατάθλιψης, μετατραυματικού στρες, πένθους, φοβιών, κακοποίησης και δυσκολιών στις διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις. Παράλληλα, έχει εμπειρία στη διάγνωση ψυχοπαθολογίας και στη χρήση ψυχομετρικών εργαλείων, προσφέροντας εξατομικευμένες παρεμβάσεις με σεβασμό στις ανάγκες του κάθε ατόμου. Στη θεραπευτική της προσέγγισης αξιοποιεί κυρίως τη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική Θεραπεία (CBT), μια επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένη μέθοδο που βοηθά το άτομο να αναγνωρίσει και να τροποποιήσει τις σκέψεις και τα μοτίβα συμπεριφοράς που ενισχύουν τη δυσφορία του. Η CBT δίνει πρακτικά εργαλεία, ενδυναμώνει και καλλιεργεί νέες, πιο υγιείς οπτικές απέναντι στη ζωή. Παράλληλα, ενσωματώνει στοιχεία Θεραπείας μέσω Τέχνης (Art Therapy), ειδικά όταν δουλεύει με παιδιά, εφήβους ή ενήλικες που δυσκολεύονται να εκφραστούν λεκτικά. Η δημιουργία γίνεται ένα ασφαλές “κανάλι” έκφρασης συναισθημάτων, αναμνήσεων και εσωτερικών συγκρούσεων, χωρίς τη χρήση λόγου. Δεν ακολουθεί μία αυστηρή “συνταγή”. Κάθε άνθρωπος είναι μοναδικός, και κάθε συνεδρία προσαρμόζεται στις ανάγκες του - με σεβασμό στον ρυθμό του, στην ιστορία του και στις αντοχές του. Οταν δουλεύει με παιδιά, δίνει ιδιαίτερη σημασία στη συνεργασία με τους γονείς. Ο στόχος δεν είναι μόνο η “αντιμετώπιση” μιας δυσκολίας, αλλά η ενδυνάμωση της σχέσης γονιού - παιδιού, ώστε το ίδιο το σπίτι να γίνει χώρος θεραπείας, εμπιστοσύνης και ανάπτυξης. Τέλος, προσφέρει συνεδρίες και στα αραβικά και στα τσεχικά.
