Η Γκίκα Αθανασία είναι Ψυχολόγος με εξειδίκευση στην Κλινική Νευροψυχολογία και τη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική Θεραπεία (CBT), διατηρώντας ενεργή παρουσία στον τομέα της ψυχικής υγείας μέσω της κλινικής της εμπειρίας και της συνεχιζόμενης εκπαίδευσής της.

Η ψυχοθεραπεία είναι μια διαδικασία κατανόησης, αποδοχής και αλλαγής — μια ευκαιρία να γνωρίσουμε τον εαυτό μας και να ανακουφιστούμε από το βάρος που συχνά κουβαλάμε σιωπηλά.

Εργάζομαι με ανθρώπους που βιώνουν άγχος, καταθλιπτική διάθεση, δυσκολίες στις σχέσεις ή περιόδους εσωτερικής σύγχυσης, βοηθώντας τους να βρουν ξανά ισορροπία και νόημα στην καθημερινότητά τους.

Ως Ψυχολόγος με εξειδίκευση στη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική Θεραπεία (CBT) και την Κλινική Νευροψυχολογία, συνδυάζω επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένες προσεγγίσεις με μια ουσιώδη και ζεστή στάση. Μαζί μπορούμε να δουλέψουμε πάνω σε μοτίβα σκέψης και συμπεριφοράς που σας κρατούν πίσω, να διαχειριστούμε το άγχος, να μειώσουμε τα συμπτώματα της κατάθλιψης και να ενισχύσουμε την αυτοεκτίμηση και την ψυχική ανθεκτικότητα.

Παρέχω ατομικές συνεδρίες ενηλίκων και εφήβων, τόσο δια ζώσης όσο και διαδικτυακά, με σεβασμό στον προσωπικό ρυθμό και τις ανάγκες του κάθε ανθρώπου.

Στόχος μου είναι η δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς θεραπευτικού χώρου, όπου μπορείτε να εκφραστείτε ελεύθερα, να κατανοήσετε βαθύτερα τον εαυτό σας και να αρχίσετε σταδιακά να αλλάζετε ό,τι σας δυσκολεύει.

Η επιστημονική μου εκπαίδευση περιλαμβάνει Πτυχίο Ψυχολογίας και Μεταπτυχιακό στην Κλινική Νευροψυχολογία, καθώς και συνεχιζόμενη εκπαίδευση στην Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική θεραπεία και την Ψυχοδυναμική Ψυχοθεραπεία.

Έχω συνεργαστεί με σημαντικούς οργανισμούς, όπως ο “Ευαγγελισμός” και ο “Άκτιος Α.Ε.”, αποκτώντας εμπειρία τόσο σε θεραπευτικό όσο και ερευνητικό πλαίσιο.

Αν βρίσκεστε σε μια φάση που νιώθετε πίεση, άγχος ή απώλεια ενδιαφέροντος, ίσως αυτή να είναι η στιγμή να ξεκινήσετε τη δική σας ψυχοθεραπευτική διαδρομή.

**Person-Centered Psychotherapy** is a therapeutic approach developed by **Carl Rogers** in the 20th century. Its core idea is that every individual has the potential to grow and resolve their issues when they feel accepted and understood. The therapist does not guide or judge the client but supports them with empathy and unconditional positive regard. This allows the client to explore their emotions, thoughts, and concerns in a safe space.

The therapy focuses on the person and their needs, rather than on the problem or diagnosis. The essence lies in the development of a genuine and honest relationship between therapist and client, which enables the latter to discover their own solutions and strengthen their self-esteem. Person-Centered Psychotherapy believes that we all possess the capacity for self-actualization and to live a life that truly satisfies us, as long as we have the appropriate environment of support and understanding.
