As a psychotherapist, I work with a calm, steady presence and offer a setting of safety, respect, and genuineness, where what you experience can be heard at your own pace. My approach is person-centered and non-directive: the goal is not to “change you,” but to create space for you to recognize what you feel, what you need, and how you wish to care for yourself. I accompany adults facing anxiety, sadness or low mood, burnout, fear/panic, relationship difficulties, grief, and self-esteem concerns. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and the consistency of small steps: through quiet, attentive meetings, needs and boundaries come into focus, and more care is cultivated in everyday life. If this way of working feels right, it would be a pleasure to meet.

Είμαι Ψυχολόγος - Ψυχοθεραπευτής, με ειδίκευση στη συνθετική προσέγγιση. Πιστεύω ότι κάθε άνθρωπος αποτελεί και έχει μια μοναδική ιστορία, η οποία αξίζει να ακούγεται με σεβασμό, αποδοχή και κατανόηση.

Δίνω ιδιαίτερη σημασία στην αυθεντική ανθρώπινη σχέση χωρίς κριτική, στην αυτογνωσία και στη δυνατότητα κάθε ανθρώπου να κατανοήσει καλύτερα τον εαυτό του και να δημιουργήσει μια πιο ουσιαστική σχέση μαζί του.

Αντιλαμβάνομαι την ψυχοθεραπεία ως έναν ασφαλή χώρο, μέσα στον οποίο ο άνθρωπος μπορεί να μιλήσει ανοιχτά για όσα τον δυσκολεύουν. Μέσα από τη θεραπευτική σχέση, ο θεραπευόμενος έχει την ευκαιρία να κατανοήσει καλύτερα τον εαυτό του, τις σκέψεις και τα συναισθήματά του, να εξερευνήσει τι μπορεί να βρίσκεται πίσω από όσα βιώνει και να ανακαλύψει νέους τρόπους διαχείρισης των δυσκολιών της καθημερινότητας.

Η ψυχοθεραπεία δεν αφορά μόνο την αντιμετώπιση των δυσκολιών, αλλά και τη φροντίδα του εαυτού και την αναζήτηση υποστήριξης, ώστε κανείς να μην χρειάζεται να αντιμετωπίζει τα πάντα μόνος του.

Η συνθετική προσέγγιση αποτελεί έναν ευέλικτο τρόπο ψυχοθεραπείας, ο οποίος δεν περιορίζεται σε μία μόνο θεραπευτική μέθοδο. Συνδυάζει στοιχεία από διαφορετικές ψυχοθεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις, με στόχο η θεραπεία να προσαρμόζεται στις ανάγκες, την προσωπικότητα και τη μοναδικότητα κάθε ανθρώπου.

Μέσα από τη θεραπευτική σχέση αναδύονται οι δυσκολίες των θεραπευόμενων, ανακλύπτωνται πώς έχουν διαμορφωθεί αυτές και ποιες αλλαγές μπορούν να τους βοηθήσουν να νιώσουν και να λειτουργούν καλύτερα.

Με αυτόν τον τρόπο, η θεραπεία δεν ακολουθεί ένα προκαθορισμένο «καλούπι», αλλά διαμορφώνεται γύρω από τον κάθε άνθρωπο και τη δική του προσωπική πορεία.
