Στην επαγγελματική του προσέγγιση δίνει έμφαση στην κατανόηση του ανθρώπου πέρα από το σύμπτωμα. Οι δυσκολίες που εμφανίζονται στη ζωή μας δεν αντιμετωπίζονται απομονωμένα, αλλά διερευνώνται σε σχέση με την προσωπική ιστορία, τις εμπειρίες, τις σχέσεις και τον τρόπο με τον οποίο ο καθένας έχει μάθει να αντιλαμβάνεται τον εαυτό του και τους άλλους. Γιατί ο άνθρωπος είναι πάντα κάτι περισσότερο από το σύμπτωμά του. Στόχος της συμβουλευτικής διαδικασίας είναι η δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς και ουσιαστικού χώρου, όπου ο άνθρωπος μπορεί να κατανοήσει βαθύτερα όσα τον δυσκολεύουν, να αναγνωρίσει επαναλαμβανόμενα μοτίβα και να αναζητήσει νέους τρόπους να σχετίζεται με τον εαυτό του και τους άλλους. Εξέλιξη δεν είναι να αλλάξεις αυτό που είσαι. Είναι να ανακαλύψεις περισσότερο τον εαυτό σου.

H Λευκαδίτη Ιωάννα είναι Ψυχολόγος, με μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές (MSc) στην Κλινική Ψυχολογία από το University of Wales και πτυχίο Ψυχολογίας από το Πάντειο Πανεπιστήμιο, κάτοχος άδειας ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος. Διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στο κέντρο της Αθήνας (Σύνταγμα) και πραγματοποιεί συνεδρίες δια ζώσης και διαδικτυακά, καθώς και στα Αγγλικά (λόγω σπουδών Αγγλικής Φιλολογίας στο ΕΚΠΑ).

Στο πρώτο ραντεβού γίνεται συζήτηση με ηρεμία και σεβασμό για το ιστορικό του ατόμου. Διερευνάται τι το δυσκολεύει στον ρυθμό και τη ζωή του, και διαμορφώνεται από κοινού ένα ασφαλές, εξατομικευμένο πλάνο θεραπείας, χωρίς πίεση ή βιασύνη. Η Λευκαδίτη Ιωάννα είναι συνοδοιπόρος σας για να φωτίσετε μαζί τα κομμάτια που σας δυσκολεύουν.

Η θεραπευτική διαδικασία βασίζεται στην προσωποκεντρική προσέγγιση, δίνοντας έμφαση στην ενσυναίσθηση, την αυθεντικότητα και την αποδοχή. Δημιουργείται ένα ασφαλές πλαίσιο, ώστε να μπορέσει το άτομο να διερευνήσει συναισθήματα και καταστάσεις που το δυσκολεύουν (όπως άγχος, θλίψη, θυμός, πένθος, προβλήματα σχέσεων ή δυσκολίες στην προσωπική και επαγγελματική ζωή).

Για να υποστηριχθεί βαθύτερα αυτή η πορεία, ενσωματώνονται σύγχρονες, βιωματικές και σωματικά προσανατολισμένες μέθοδοι, όπως η Focusing και Προσωποκεντρική Θεραπεία (σε συνεχή εκπαίδευση). IFS (Internal Family Systems) και TIST (εκπαίδευση μέσω PESI με εισηγητές διεθνούς κύρους, όπως οι Frank Anderson, Janina Fisher και Bessel van der Kolk). Στοιχεία από τη Θεωρία του Πνευμονογαστρικού Νεύρου (Neuroscience & Polyvagal Theory) για τη σύνδεση του σώματος με το νευρικό σύστημα.

Οι προσεγγίσεις αυτές βοηθούν να χτίσει το άτομο μια νέα, αυθεντική σχέση με τον εαυτό του και τους γύρω του. Σταδιακά και στον δικό του ρυθμό, η εσωτερική ροή διευκολύνεται, η εσωτερική ένταση μειώνεται και η ανθεκτικότητα απέναντι στις προκλήσεις της ζωής ενισχύεται.

Στόχος δεν είναι να ακολουθήσει το άτομο έτοιμες λύσεις ούτε να προσπαθεί χωρίς υποστήριξη. Μέσα από μια ασφαλή και σταθερή θεραπευτική σχέση, δουλεύει για να κατανοήσει τις βαθύτερες επιθυμίες και τις αξίες του, αναδεικνύοντας τις δικές του εσωτερικές δυνάμεις. Έτσι, βήμα-βήμα, διαμορφώνει τον δικό του αυθεντικό δρόμο προς την ισορροπία, πατώντας σταθερά στις δικές του εσωτερικές πηγές δύναμης.
