Η Τσούλου Έλενα είναι Ψυχαναλυτική Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια, Προσωπική Ακαδημαϊκή Σύμβουλος Φοιτητών Ψυχολογίας στο τμήμα Ψυχολογίας του Μητροπολιτικού Κολλεγίου (Oxford Brookes University). Διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στο Ηράκλειο Αττικής. Ανήκει στο Βρετανικό Σύλλογο Ψυχοθεραπείας (BACP- British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) ενώ βρίσκεται σε διαδικασία απόκτησης πιστοποιητικού της Ευρωπαικής Εταιρείας Ψυχοθεραπείας (European Association for Psychotherapy- EAP) από την Εθνική Εταιρεία Ψυχοθεραπείας Ελλάδος (ΕΕΨΕ). Ολοκληρώνοντας το μεταπτυχιακό της με τίτλο “Συνθετική Ψυχοθεραπεία και Συμβουλευτική” ( διάρκεια 3 έτη) στο University of East London πραγματοποίησε την πρακτική της άσκηση στο Ιδιωτικό Κέντρο Ψυχοθεραπείας “Roots” στην Καλλιθέα Αττικής. Εκεί εργάστηκε ως εκπαιδευόμενη ψυχοθεραπεύτρια ενηλίκων, πραγματοποιώντας ατομικές συνεδρίες ενηλίκων με έμφαση στην Ψυχοδυναμική Προσέγγιση. Κατά τη διάρκεια αυτής της εμπειρίας, συνεργάστηκε με επόπτες διαφορετικών θεραπευτικών προσεγγίσεων, γεγονός που της επέτρεψε να αναπτύξει μια ολιστική ματιά στη θεραπευτική διαδικασία, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τη μοναδικότητα και τις ανάγκες κάθε ανθρώπου. Έπειτα, ξεκίνησε την μετεκπαίδευσή της, την Κλινική Εκπαίδευση στην “Ψυχοδυναμική/Ψυχαναλυτική Ψυχοθεραπεία Παιδιών και Ενηλίκων” στο ΔΙ.ΚΕ.Ψ.Υ (Διεπιστημονική και Ερευνητική Ψυχοκοινωνική Υποστήριξη Παιδιών και Ενηλίκων) (διάρκεια 4 έτη) η οποία αποτελεί για εκείνη τον πυρήνα της θεραπευτικής της πορείας, καθώς αποτελεί μια βαθιά εμβάθυνση στην κατανόηση της ανθρώπινης ψυχολογίας, όχι μόνο του εαυτού της αλλά και των άλλων. Υπήρξε κινητήριος δύναμη για την εφαρμογή ψυχοδυναμικών αρχών για την υποστήριξη τόσο παιδιών, όσο και ενηλίκων. Στη πορεία, συνειδητοποίησε ότι η εμπειρία και το ενδιαφέρον της συνδέονται άμεσα με την ψυχοθεραπεία ενηλίκων, στην οποία τελικά επέλεξε να ειδικευτεί. Πιστεύει βαθιά ότι κάθε άνθρωπος κρύβει μέσα του ένα παιδί που αναζητά τη φροντίδα. Εργάζεται κλινικά τα τελευταία χρόνια, διατηρώντας ιδιωτικό γραφείο στο Ηράκλειο Αττικής πραγματοποιώντας ατομικές συνεδρίες ενηλίκων, αξιοποιώντας όλα όσα έχει διδαχθεί και βιώσει μέσα από την ψυχαναλυτική διαδικασία. Αποτελεί μέλος της ομάδας του Κέντρου ατομικών και ομαδικών θεραπειών “Ψυχή και Σώμα” στο Βύρωνα, μιας ομάδας διαφορετικών προσεγγίσεων, όπου λειτουργώντας συνεργατικά, προσπαθούν για την καλύτερη θεραπευτική συνθήκη, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη την μοναδικότητα του κάθε ανθρώπου. Η Ψυχαναλυτική Ψυχοθεραπεία για εκείνη είναι η τέχνη της κατανόησης του εαυτού και βασίζεται στην αυθεντική σχέση που δημιουργεί ο θεραπευτής µε τον θεραπευόμενο. Πιστεύει πως η ψυχαναλυτική ψυχοθεραπεία δεν αλλάζει το ποιος είσαι. Σε βοηθά να αντέχεις τον εαυτό σου και την συναισθηματική σου πραγματικότητα. Κατά την διάρκεια της συνάντησης των δύο, ως θεραπεύτρια ενθαρρύνει τον θεραπευόμενο/η να υπάρξει όσο το δυνατόν περισσότερο ελεύθερα και ειλικρινά γίνεται μέσα στον θεραπευτικό χώρο, καλώντας τον/την να μιλήσει για οτιδήποτε του έρχεται στον νου χωρίς λογοκρισία με όλες τους τις σκέψεις και φαντασιώσεις. Παρέχεται ένας ασφαλής χώρος όπου παρουσία της γίνεται μια βαθιά εξερεύνηση όλων των ανυπόφορων συναισθημάτων, όπου ως θεραπεύτρια είναι η φωνή ενός απλού ανθρώπου που μιλάει σε έναν άλλον άνθρωπο με τρόπο που αφορά προσωπικά τον άλλον άνθρωπο και την ιστορία της μεταξύ τους σχέσης. Η ίδια μέσα από µια διαδικασία προσωπικής ανάλυσης μπορεί να υπάρξει αυθεντικά στον θεραπευτικό χώρο και μαθαίνοντας να αντέχει δικές της δυσκολίες μπορεί να βοηθήσει και άλλους ανθρώπους να κάνουν ελεύθερες επιλογές μέσα από την εξερεύνηση του ασυνειδήτου. Πιστεύει πως όσο πιο βαθιά φτάσει κανείς τον εαυτό του, τόσο βαθιά µπορει να φτάσει και κάποιον άλλον, γνωρίζοντας τι ανήκει σε εκείνον και τι στον άνθρωπο που έχει απέναντι του. Μπορεί να δημιουργήσει µια αυθεντική και ειλικρινής σχέση που να ευνοεί την εξερεύνηση ακόμη και των πιο τρομακτικών δυσκολιών, σκέψεων και συναισθημάτων και καλείται να αυξήσει την ικανότητα του “ονειρεύεσθαι”. Γίνεται µια προσπάθεια μεταξύ σας να βάλετε σε λόγια την αλήθεια σχετικά µε την συναισθηματική εμπειρία µε στόχο να δημιουργηθεί µια δυνητικά νέα εμπειρία που θα εργαστείτε ψυχικά. Σκοπός της θεραπευτικής σας συνεργασίας είναι να κάνετε ελεύθερες επιλογές, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τις δικές σας ανάγκες. Ένας άνθρωπος για να υπάρξει ελεύθερος πρέπει να ζει. Και πως ζει κανείς; Ζει κανείς μόνο όταν έρχεται σε επαφή με τα συναισθήματα του και αντέχει την συναισθηματική του πραγματικότητα.
