Each person brings their own story, challenges, and goals to therapy. Some seek relief from anxiety, stress, or low mood; others may be grappling with intense self-criticism, low self-worth, or difficulty connecting in relationships. Many are simply looking to understand themselves better and to live a life that feels more authentic and meaningful. Therapy offers a space to explore these experiences safely and constructively, working together to foster change that lasts.

At the heart of her practice is the belief that therapy is built on trust, empathy, and respect for the individuality of each person. There are no ready-made solutions or fixed pathways—each therapeutic journey is shaped around the person’s unique needs, values, and aspirations.

Η Καμπούρη Χριστίνα είναι Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια - Ψυχοδραματίστρια - Κοινωνικοθεραπεύτρια, με ειδίκευση στο Ψυχόδραμα και στην Ατομική και Ομαδική Ψυχοθεραπεία. Εδώ και πάνω από 7 χρόνια υποστηρίζει ανθρώπους στην πορεία τους προς την αυτογνωσία, την προσωπική εξέλιξη και τη βελτίωση της σχέσης με τον εαυτό και τους άλλους. Είναι τελειόφοιτη του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Ευρωπαϊκού Πανεπιστημίου Κύπρου, κάτοχος πτυχίου Κοινωνιολογίας από το Πάντειο Πανεπιστήμιο και έχει ολοκληρώσει μεταπτυχιακή εκπαίδευση στο Ψυχόδραμα και την Κοινωνικοθεραπεία στο Ανοιχτό Ψυχοθεραπευτικό Κέντρο.

 Το Ψυχόδραμα, στο οποίο ειδικεύεται, αποτελεί μια βιωματική μορφή ψυχοθεραπείας. Βασίζεται στη δράση και τη δημιουργική έκφραση, δίνοντας τη δυνατότητα στον θεραπευόμενο να εξερευνήσει πτυχές του εαυτού του μέσα από ρόλους, συμβολικές εικόνες και σκηνές από την προσωπική του ζωή. Δεν περιορίζεται μόνο στη συζήτηση με τον θεραπευτή, αλλά ενθαρρύνει το άτομο να "μπει σε δράση", να εκφράσει συναισθήματα, να επεξεργαστεί εμπειρίες και να δει τις καταστάσεις από μια διαφορετική οπτική. Με εργαλεία όπως η αλλαγή ρόλων, το καθρέπτισμα του εαυτού μέσα από τους άλλους και οι συμβολικές συνομιλίες με πρόσωπα που έχουν παίξει ρόλο στη ζωή του, ανοίγεται ο δρόμος για βαθύτερη κατανόηση, συναισθηματική εκτόνωση και ενδυνάμωση. Το Ψυχόδραμα ενισχύει τη σχέση με τον εαυτό, καλλιεργεί την εσωτερική ισορροπία και διευκολύνει την ουσιαστική σύνδεση με τους άλλους. Η μέθοδος εφαρμόζεται τόσο σε ατομικό όσο και σε ομαδικό πλαίσιο, προσφέροντας ένα ασφαλές περιβάλλον όπου κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να εκφραστεί αυθεντικά και να προχωρήσει προς την προσωπική του εξέλιξη.
