About the specialist

Ο Κοψαλής Δημήτρης BSc είναι Ψυχολόγος και παρέχει Συστημική ψυχοθεραπεία σε ενήλικες, παιδιά, έφηβους και ζευγάρια στο ιδιωτικό του γραφείο στο Nέο Ψυχικό, πλησίον της Κατεχάκη.

Ολοκλήρωσε τις σπουδές του στην Ψυχολογία από το London Metropolitan College και εκπαιδεύεται στη Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεία, στο Κέντρο Εφαρμοσμένης Ψυχοθεραπείας και Συμβουλευτικής. Προσεγγίζει κάθε θεραπευτική σχέση με σεβασμό στη μοναδικότητα του ανθρώπου που έχει απέναντί του. Δεν πιστεύει στις έτοιμες λύσεις ή στις γενικές συμβουλές, αλλά στη δύναμη της συνεργασίας, του διαλόγου και της κοινής διερεύνησης καθώς η ψυχοθεραπεία για εκείνον είναι μια ουσιαστική συνάντηση δύο ανθρώπων. Πιστεύει ότι κάθε άνθρωπος έχει τη δική του μοναδική ιστορία και ότι η κατανόηση των δυσκολιών του χρειάζεται να γίνεται μέσα από τις εμπειρίες, τις σχέσεις και το πλαίσιο της ζωής του.

Στόχος του είναι να δημιουργήσει έναν χώρο όπου ο άνθρωπος θα μπορεί να εκφραστεί με ειλικρίνεια, να κατανοήσει βαθύτερα τον εαυτό του και να κάνει ουσιαστικά βήματα προς την αλλαγή που επιθυμεί.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy applied to problems such as depression, anxiety disorders, abuse, relationship and marriage problems, eating disorders and serious mental illness.The therapist emphasizes what is happening in the current life rather than the past and what led to the difficulties.

Approach

Identifying the distortions in a person's thinking that are causing problems and then examining these in the light of reality. Understanding the behaviour and motivations of others and using problem-solving skills to deal with difficult situations. Dealing with fears rather than avoiding them.

It is used for people with suicidal behavior, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorder, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety.

Approach

DBT focuses on acceptance and change. It helps the person to get to know themselves better, to think about why they do what they do, without judgment. Replacing a negative behavior or habit with ones that can improve the quality of life. Dialectic is the idea that two different things can be true at the same time. At the same time as accepting yourself exactly as you are, comes the recognition of your effort to change.

Approach

Each person is a combination of mind, emotions, body and soul with unique experiences and events. No single life event, personality trait or psychological diagnosis defines you.

What it is

Systemic psychotherapy is an approach about how the individual acts as part of a wider group or broader system of relationships: family, partner relationship, work, friendships, and social environment.

It helps the individual understand themselves more effectively, along with their roles and communication style and supports them in developing more functional ways of thinking and communicating within their system.

How it could benefit you

It helps improve understanding of relationship and family dynamics. It can change dysfunctional communication and behavior patterns within the system, strengthen empathy, support the development of stronger relationships and help with managing conflicts and difficulties.
