Dimitra Drakaki is a Clinical Psychologist who works privately, offering online therapy sessions in Greek, English and French. She holds a Bachelor’s degree (BSc) in Psychology from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, as well as a Master’s degree (MSc) in Clinical Psychology, Psychopathology, and Health Psychology from Paris Nanterre University in France.

Her therapeutic practice is grounded in the psychodynamic model, with theoretical and clinical training obtained through the psychoanalytic program of Paris Nanterre University, complemented by further specialization through seminars and professional trainings at institutions such as ASM13 (Paris, France). In parallel, she is engaged in personal therapy and receives psychodynamic supervision.

Her clinical interests have led her to work with diverse populations and settings, including psychiatric clinics (ASM13 – Hôpital L’Eau-Vive, CH Fondation Vallée), medical and psychosocial support centers (CMP Philippe Paumelle, Centre Friends’ Play, SOS Children’s Villages), working with adults as well as children and adolescents. She has provided individual therapy and facilitated therapeutic groups, as well as groups for mental health professionals. Issues related to parenthood and family relationships are central to her research interests; she has explored women’s experiences of infertility and its connection to the biological and emotional dimensions of the female body.

Allowing her professional identity to be shaped through these experiences, she draws on a range of therapeutic tools that enable each individual to come into contact with a more authentic version of themselves. The aim of the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe space in which the client can process their experiences, reflect on their personal history, and develop greater awareness and freedom in relation to their choices and desires.

Η Όλγα Τσιουραλίδου είναι Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας και Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια με ισχυρό ακαδημαϊκό υπόβαθρο και πολυετή εμπειρία στην υποστήριξη ατόμων που επιθυμούν ουσιαστική αλλαγή στη ζωή τους.

Η θεραπευτική της προσέγγιση είναι εκλεκτική, βασισμένη στην πεποίθηση ότι –όπως έχει πει και ο Irvin Yalom– “ να προσαρμόζουμε τη θεραπεία στον θεραπευόμενο και όχι τον θεραπευόμενο στη θεραπεία”. Εργάζεται με ενήλικες και εφήβους που αντιμετωπίζουν δυσκολίες όπως άγχος, κρίσεις πανικού, συναισθηματική εξουθένωση, χαμηλή αυτοεκτίμηση, προβλήματα στις σχέσεις, πένθος ή μεταβατικές περιόδους ζωής που προκαλούν σύγχυση και ψυχική κόπωση.

Η ψυχοθεραπεία που προσφέρει δεν απευθύνεται μόνο σε όσους επιδιώκουν να ενισχύσουν την ψυχική τους ανθεκτικότητα, αλλά και σε ανθρώπους που νιώθουν “μπλοκαρισμένοι”, αβέβαιοι ή απομακρυσμένοι από τον εαυτό τους και αναζητούν έναν ασφαλή χώρο για να ακουστούν, να κατανοηθούν και να επανασυνδεθούν με τις εσωτερικές τους δυνάμεις.

Η Όλγα είναι πιστοποιημένη Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας (HND – Pearson) και φοιτά στο Ευρωπαϊκό Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου στο τμήμα Ψυχολογίας. Παράλληλα, παρακολουθεί μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές στην Κλινική Ψυχοθεραπεία, ενισχύοντας συνεχώς τη θεωρητική της κατάρτιση και την επιστημονική της βάση. Η επαγγελματική της πρακτική εποπτεύεται συστηματικά, διασφαλίζοντας τη δεοντολογική αρτιότητα και την ποιότητα της θεραπευτικής διαδικασίας.

Με βαθιά ενσυναίσθηση, συνέπεια και σεβασμό στην ανθρώπινη μοναδικότητα, δημιουργείτε ένα θεραπευτικό περιβάλλον που στηρίζει, κινητοποιεί και ενδυναμώνει. Με επίγνωση της δυσκολίας που ενέχει το πρώτο βήμα προς την αλλαγή, δεσμεύεται να σταθεί δίπλα σε κάθε άνθρωπο που το τολμά με επαγγελματισμό, ειλικρίνεια και πίστη στις δυνατότητές του.
