Μαρίνα Αποστόλου

Ψυχολόγος & Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια | Αθήνα, Κέρκυρα

Είμαι η Μαρίνα Αποστόλου, ψυχολόγος και ψυχοθεραπεύτρια. Η εκπαίδευσή μου συνδυάζει την κλινική με την οργανωσιακή ψυχολογία, έχοντας ολοκληρώσει το MA Counselling and Psychotherapy στο University of East London και το MS Οργανωσιακής Ψυχολογίας στο Deree – Αμερικανικό Κολλέγιο Ελλάδος.

Εργάζομαι ως ψυχολόγος σε Κέντρο Διημέρευσης Ημερήσιας Φροντίδας ατόμων με αναπηρία, ενώ παράλληλα διατηρώ ιδιωτικό γραφείο, όπου υποστηρίζω ενήλικες σε θέματα που αφορούν την προσωπική, συναισθηματική και επαγγελματική τους ζωή.

Στις συνεδρίες μας στόχος είναι να δημιουργήσουμε έναν ασφαλή και εμπιστευτικό χώρο, όπου μπορείς να μιλήσεις ελεύθερα, με σεβασμό και χωρίς κριτική. Δουλεύουμε μαζί, με επίκεντρο τις δικές σου ανάγκες, εμπειρίες και τον δικό σου ρυθμό. Εργάζομαι με συνθετική προσέγγιση, αξιοποιώντας στοιχεία από διαφορετικές θεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις, με βάση τις ανάγκες και την προσωπικότητα κάθε ανθρώπου.

Μπορείς να απευθυνθείς σε εμένα για ζητήματα όπως:

  • άγχος και στρες
  • δυσκολίες στις σχέσεις
  • εργασιακές δυσκολίες και επαγγελματικό burnout
  • επαγγελματικές αποφάσεις και προβληματισμούς
  • αλλαγές και σημαντικές μεταβάσεις στη ζωή

Η εμπειρία μου στον χώρο της εργασίας και η εκπαίδευσή μου στην οργανωτική ψυχολογία μου επιτρέπουν να προσεγγίζω με ιδιαίτερη ευαισθησία τις προκλήσεις που μπορεί να προκύπτουν στον επαγγελματικό χώρο, αλλά και τον τρόπο με τον οποίο αυτές συνδέονται με την προσωπική και συναισθηματική μας ζωή.

Πραγματοποιώ διαδικτυακές συνεδρίες, στα ελληνικά και τα αγγλικά.

Αν σκέφτεσαι να ξεκινήσεις ψυχοθεραπεία αλλά δεν είσαι ακόμη σίγουρος/η αν είναι η κατάλληλη στιγμή ή αν θα νιώσεις ότι ταιριάζουμε, μπορείς να ξεκινήσεις με μια πρώτη συνεδρία. Είναι μια ευκαιρία να γνωριστούμε, να συζητήσουμε τι σε απασχολεί και να δεις αν ο τρόπος με τον οποίο δουλεύω σου ταιριάζει.

Η Κυβέλλου Ξένια είναι Ψυχολόγος - Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στη Νέα Σμύρνη. Σπούδασε Φιλοσοφία στο Πανεπιστήμιο Ιωαννίνων. Η Σύγχρονη Φιλοσοφία αναζητεί το νόημα του ανθρώπου ή αλλιώς το νόημα της ύπαρξης. Ο Κόσμος είναι το αντικείμενο της, ο κόσμος που μας φιλοξενεί, μας διαμορφώνει και τον διαμορφώνουμε ως γένος. Παράλληλα με τις σπουδές της εργάστηκε για τέσσερα χρόνια σε Ίδρυμα Αποκατάστασης παιδιών με κινητικά προβλήματα. Μετά την ολοκλήρωση των σπουδών της, ακολούθησε μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές στη Διοίκηση Ανθρώπινου Δυναμικού. Η καριέρα της στο κόσμο των επιχειρήσεων, στη συμβουλευτική καριέρας και στην επιλογή του κατάλληλου ανθρώπου για τη κατάλληλη θέση, της έδειξε ότι οι άνθρωποι επιτυγχάνουν ή αποτυγχάνουν στην εργασία τους τις περισσότερες φορές για λόγους που είναι ανεξάρτητοι από τα προσόντα τους. Εκείνο που καθορίζει τη τύχη των ανθρώπων στη εργασία τους είναι πρωτίστως η προσωπικότητα τους και οι επιλογές τους. Οι παραπάνω εργασιακές εμπειρίες της και τα ερωτήματα που προκύπτουν τόσο από την φροντίδα των παιδιών με ειδικές ικανότητες όσο και από τον κόσμο της εργασίας με οδήγησαν στην απόφαση να σπουδάσει Ψυχολογία. Ολοκλήρωσε τις σπουδές της στο Τμήμα Ψυχολογίας του Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών με Άριστα. Το Άριστα σηματοδοτεί το αμέριστο ενδιαφέρον μου για τον άνθρωπο και το προσωπικό κόπο μου να εξερευνήσω και να ανακαλύψω τι μας καθορίζει, τι μπορούμε να κάνουμε, τι μπορούμε να αλλάξουμε, πως μπορούμε να υπάρχουμε με νόημα. Παράλληλα με τις σπουδές της στο Πανεπιστήμιο ξεκίνησε ένα κύκλο εκπαίδευσης στη Διαγνωστική Ψυχολογία σε ανοικτό κέντρο νοσηλείας. Πραγματοποίησε την πρακτική της άσκηση στο Ψυχιατρικό Νοσοκομείο Αθηνών Δρομοκαϊτειο. Συμμετείχε για τρία χρόνια σε ομαδικά προγράμματα ψυχοθεραπείας. Ολοκλήρωσε τετραετή κύκλο σπουδών στη Συνθετική ψυχοθεραπεία και είναι Ιδρυτικό μέλος της Εταιρείας Συνθετικής ψυχοθεραπείας στην Ελλάδα. Ολοκλήρωσε κύκλο ετησίων σεμιναρίων στην Ελληνική Ψυχαναλυτική Εταιρεία.
