About the specialist

The Psychotherapeutic Center "Eso" - Psyxotherapeutiko Kentro Eso Drpriovolou Aggeliki and collaborator Skordyli Danai Maria (Psychologist - Psychotherapist) is based in Artemida. Dr. Priovolou Aggeliki has been working as a Clinical Psychologist - Psychotherapist since 2001. She has completed all academic training (BSc, PGDip, PhD) in England and practical training in Greece. She trained at the "Dromokaitio" Psychiatric Hospital in the fields of diagnosis and psychotherapy for 3 years (1998 - 2001) and at the "Aeginiteio" University Hospital for 2 years (2000 - 2001 & 2008 - 2009) in the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders and personality disorders. Her doctoral thesis (2006) is based on Schema Therapy (J. Young), an evolution of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Maladaptive schemas result from an individual's life experiences, are subconscious, and include negative recordings and emotions derived from these experiences. They typically lead to depression, anxiety, relationship problems, substance use, weight gain or loss, and many other issues. The therapeutic approach examines both early and current life experiences, placing significant emphasis on the therapist-client relationship. This approach aims at maximizing life satisfaction for individuals facing simple or more complex psychological issues.

Group psychotherapy focuses on the common problems of the group, as well as the thoughts and emotions. Its goal is to improve relationships and change dysfunctional behaviors. It guides group members toward higher self-understanding and self-confidence.

About the specialist

About me and my therapy practice

I am a qualified counsellor and a registered accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). My core training was based on the person centred approach at a masters level at Keele University. I am a Cognitive Analytic Therapy therapist/ practitioner accredited by the Association of Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT) since 2023. I am also an EMDR therapist and a member of the EMDR Association. My experience and professional development have led me to adopt a pluralistic take on my practice that also introduces elements from therapeutic theories such as existential psychotherapies, compassion focused therapy, psychoanalytic theory and cognitive/ behavioural practices. I have also been trained in delivering supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists and I have supervised individual counsellors and teams of practitioners at a mental health charity, in a families social care setting and in a women's refuge near Manchester, UK.

I have delivered counselling to clients in higher education, the National Health Service and in the community sector. My client caseload includes people from various ethnic, cultural and class backgrounds, the LGBTQ+ demographic, and all age groups above 16. I have supported people with a variety of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, post - traumatic stress, obsessive - compulsive disorders, eating difficulties, managed psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations. I have worked with adults (16+) of any age who have experienced loss (through death, relationship breakdown, loss of employment or other), men and women that have suffered historic abuse, loss of family unit, life crises, workplace difficulties and people experiencing suicidal thoughts and engaging in self-harm. 

Practice description

I am particularly interested in working with people who have experienced developmental trauma and people who struggle in relationships and with forming helpful attachments with others. I welcome working with clients from any background including migrants and expats, which is a demographic that I occupy and is of particular academic interest to me. My clients will have the opportunity to be in a non-judgmental space with me where they will be able to explore their feelings, circumstances and experiences in confidence in order to reach a positive outcome. For those who find the immediacy of live contact challenging, or also for practical reasons, I offer text based counselling via chat or email message.

I am trained and have experience in delivering one-off, single session therapy and formulation sessions. I offer either a structured, time limited therapy arrangement or an open ended time frame, depending on what is required by my clients. 

My first session

I offer a free thirty-minute initial consultation. This is an opportunity to discuss what brings you to counselling, what your hopes and expectations are and for you to ask me any questions regarding how I can help you.

What I can help with

Abuse, Anxiety, Cultural issues, Depression, Identity issues, LGBTQ+ counselling, Loss, Men's issues, Obsessions, Post-traumatic stress, Relationships, Self esteem, Self-harm, Stress, Trauma, Vegan allied, Work related issues

About the specialist

   Ονομάζομαι Γιώργος Βαφειάδης και εργάζομαι ως ψυχαναλυτικός ψυχοθεραπευτής στην Κατερίνη, όπου διατηρώ ιδιωτικό γραφείο από το 2024, ενώ δέχομαι θεραπευόμενους ιδιωτικά από το 2020.

  Είμαι απόφοιτος του Τμήματος Κοινωνικής Διοίκησης του Δημοκρίτειου Πανεπιστημίου Θράκης και εργάστηκα για περίπου τρία χρόνια ως στον Διεθνή Οργανισμό Μετανάστευσης. Εκεί απέκτησα σημαντική κλινική εμπειρία εργαζόμενος με ευάλωτες ομάδες και κυρίως με ψυχιατρικά περιστατικά, σε συνθήκες που μου έδωσαν βαθιά κατανόηση της ανθρώπινης δυσκολίας και ανθεκτικότητας.

  Στη συνέχεια ολοκλήρωσα το μεταπτυχιακό πρόγραμμα στη Συμβουλευτική Ψυχολογία και τη Συνθετική Ψυχοθεραπεία στο University of East London (UEL), όπου εκπαιδεύτηκα σε διαφορετικά ψυχοθεραπευτικά μοντέλα, όπως η γνωστική–συμπεριφορική, η προσωποκεντρική, η ψυχαναλυτική και η συστημική προσέγγιση. Η εκπαίδευση αυτή μου έδωσε τη δυνατότητα να εργάζομαι συνθετικά και να προσαρμόζω τη θεραπεία στις ανάγκες κάθε ανθρώπου. Στο πλαίσιο του μεταπτυχιακού πραγματοποίησα κλινική πρακτική ατομικής ψυχοθεραπείας υπό εποπτεία.

  Η βασική μου εκπαίδευση είναι στην ψυχαναλυτική ψυχοθεραπεία, την οποία ακολούθησα μέσα από την πενταετή εκπαίδευσή μου στην Ελληνική Εταιρεία Αναλυτικής Ομαδικής και Οικογενειακής Ψυχοθεραπείας. Η εκπαίδευση περιλάμβανε θεωρητική κατάρτιση στην ψυχανάλυση και στις αντικειμενότροπες σχέσεις, προσωπική ψυχοθεραπεία, εποπτεία περιστατικών και κλινική εμπειρία σε ψυχιατρικό πλαίσιο.

  Η ψυχαναλυτική προσέγγιση αποτελεί τον βασικό άξονα της δουλειάς μου, καθώς εστιάζει στην κατανόηση των βαθύτερων αιτίων των δυσκολιών και όχι μόνο στην αντιμετώπιση των συμπτωμάτων. Παράλληλα αξιοποιώ στοιχεία και από άλλες προσεγγίσεις, όταν αυτό κρίνεται χρήσιμο για τον θεραπευόμενο.

  Στο γραφείο μου εργάζομαι με ενήλικες, ζευγάρια και οικογένειες, καλύπτοντας ένα ευρύ φάσμα δυσκολιών. Παιδιά κάτω των 13 ετών βλέπω μόνο στο πλαίσιο οικογενειακής θεραπείας, όπου συνδυάζω ψυχαναλυτική και συστημική προσέγγιση.

  Στη θεραπεία δίνω ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στη δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς χώρου όπου ο άνθρωπος μπορεί να μιλήσει ελεύθερα χωρίς φόβο κριτικής. Μέσα από τη θεραπευτική διαδικασία επιδιώκω ο θεραπευόμενος να κατανοήσει σε βάθος τον εαυτό του και τις σχέσεις του, να αποκτήσει μεγαλύτερη εσωτερική ηρεμία και να μπορέσει να προχωρήσει σε ουσιαστικές αλλαγές στη ζωή του.

  Πιστεύω ότι μέσα από τη βαθύτερη κατανόηση του εαυτού, κάποια από τα προβλήματα που μας απασχολούν υποχωρούν, κάποια άλλα μειώνονται, ενώ ορισμένα χρειάζεται να τα αποδεχτούμε ως κομμάτι του εαυτού μας. Η θεραπεία οδηγεί σταδιακά σε πιο ουσιαστικές σχέσεις, μεγαλύτερη συναισθηματική ισορροπία και πιο ώριμες αποφάσεις.

  Το ενδιαφέρον μου για την κατανόηση του ανθρώπου ξεκίνησε από νωρίς και συνδέεται με μια γενικότερη ανάγκη να εμβαθύνω στη φύση του ανθρώπου και των σχέσεων. Από νεαρή ηλικία με απασχολούσαν ζητήματα ψυχολογίας, φιλοσοφίας και ιστορίας, ενώ η πρώτη μου επαφή με την ψυχαναλυτική σκέψη έγινε ήδη από την εφηβεία. Η αναζήτηση αυτή συνεχίζεται μέχρι σήμερα και αποτελεί βασικό στοιχείο τόσο της προσωπικής όσο και της επαγγελματικής μου πορείας.

  Παράλληλα έχω παρακολουθήσει πλήθος σεμιναρίων σχετικών με την ψυχοπαθολογία, τις ανθρώπινες σχέσεις, τη γονεϊκότητα και τη διαχείριση του άγχους, ενώ συνεχίζω την εκπαίδευσή μου στο αντικείμενο της ψυχολογίας.
