About the specialist

Dr Dimitrios Chionis is a Military Psychologist of the Hellenic Air Force, with a PhD in Psychology, Human Factors and Strategic Communication.

If you are looking for a psychologist online, this is not a generic counselling profile. You will meet a professional whose work has been shaped in high responsibility environments, where stress, pressure, decision making, communication and human performance are part of everyday reality.

In our sessions, we focus on what is difficult for you right now. This may be anxiety, stress, burnout, panic attacks, anger, sadness, fear, work pressure, relationship difficulties, problematic internet use, low self awareness, or the need for clearer personal direction. We do not begin with a label. We begin with you, your request, and the way your daily functioning is affected.

The work is practical, structured and human. The aim is to help you understand more clearly what is happening, how you react under pressure, and what small but meaningful steps you can take next. You are supported to regain clarity, emotional control, personal responsibility and a stronger sense of direction.

The special focus on Human Factors makes this work different. It looks at the connection between the person, the environment, pressure, decision making and behaviour. This is useful when you feel that the problem is not only inside you, but also in the system around you. Your work, your relationships, your responsibilities and your daily demands all matter.

The background in Strategic Communication is also important. It can help when your difficulty involves hard conversations, boundaries, conflict, professional relationships, leadership, personal image, or the need to express yourself clearly without losing your position.

The sessions may support you with anxiety management, stress regulation, burnout, communication skills, anger management, panic symptoms, self awareness, professional decision making, personal development and peak performance. The approach is direct, respectful and grounded in psychological science, without vague promises or ready made solutions.

This is not presented as a specific psychotherapy model that claims to fit everyone. The service focuses on psychological support, counselling, mentoring, coaching and the improvement of everyday functioning. The work is based on professional experience, scientific knowledge and respect for your personal request.

Confidentiality, clarity and responsibility are central to the process. Where more specialised care is needed, such as psychotherapy, psychiatric support, medical assessment, or multidisciplinary intervention, an appropriate referral or collaboration with another health professional may be recommended.

The goal is not to tell you to simply think positively. The goal is to help you see what is really going on, organise yourself more effectively and take the next steps with more awareness, stability and personal strength.

Η Δήμητρα Μουσιώνη είναι Προσωποκεντρική Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας και βιωματική/ Focusing ψυχοθεραπεύτρια σε διαδικασία πιστοποίησης, πιστοποιημένη εκπαιδεύτρια γονέων (Attached at the Heart Parent Educator) από το Attachment Parenting Hellas. Διατηρεί το ιδιωτικό της γραφείο στη Νέα Σμύρνη. Σπούδασε Επικοινωνία, Μέσα και Πολιτισμό (κατεύθυνση Δημοσιογραφίας) στο Πάντειο Πανεπιστήμιο και εργάστηκε ως δημοσιογράφος (διεθνή, ελεύθερο και εκπαιδευτικό ρεπορτάζ) στην ΕΡΤ και την Ελευθεροτυπία. Η γέννηση του παιδιού της σήμανε την έναρξη ενός κύκλου αναζήτησης, θεραπείας και προσωπικής ανάπτυξης. Ακολούθησαν πολλές εκπαιδεύσεις και σεμινάρια σχετικά με τη γονεϊκότητα, την εκπαίδευση, την ανάπτυξη του παιδιού, τη σημασία του παιχνιδιού και το τραύμα, τις οποίες συνεχίζει έως σήμερα. 

Έχει εργαστεί εθελοντικά στο Ελληνικό Δίκτυο Γυναικών Ευρώπης, στη Γραμμή ΣΟΣ Δίπλα σου για την πρόληψη και αντιμετώπιση της έμφυλης βίας και στο Τμήμα Συμβουλευτικής και Ψυχοθεραπείας του Ελληνικού Κέντρου Focusing, παρέχοντας συνεδρίες σε ενήλικες με ΔΕΠΥ. 

Έχει πραγματοποιήσει περισσότερες από 200 ώρες ατομικής θεραπείας και βρίσκεται σε σταθερό εποπτικό πλαίσιο. Επιπλέον, έχει παρακολουθήσει τουλάχιστον 160 ώρες επιμορφώσεων και σεμιναρίων, καθώς και πολυάριθμα διεθνή και εγχώρια συνέδρια.

Είναι απλό τακτικό μέλος της Ελληνικής Εταιρείας Συμβουλευτικής, trainee member του International Focusing Institute της Νέας Υόρκης (TIFI), student member του World Association for Person–Centered and Experiential Psychotherapy and Counseling, δόκιμο μέλος της Ελληνικής Προσωποκεντρικής και Βιωματικής Εταιρείας (ΕΠΒΕ) και μέλος του Συλλόγου Messy Play Greece & Cyprus.

Επέλεξε την Προσωποκεντρική καθώς είναι από τις λίγες θεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις όπου η θεραπεύτρια δεν μπαίνει με την ταμπέλα της ειδικού στη θεραπευτική σχέση. Αντίθετα, αναγνωρίζοντας τα προνόμια και τις ευθύνες του ρόλου της, υποστηρίζει, διευκολύνει και συνοδεύει τα θεραπευόμενα στη δική τους μοναδική διαδικασία. Παράλληλα, πιστεύει ότι ο ενσυναισθητικός, με αποδοχή και αυθεντικότητα τρόπος συνοδείας των ανθρώπων αποτελεί τη βάση κάθε συμβουλευτικής και θεραπευτικής σχέσης.

Εμπιστεύεται και έχει βιώσει τη μεταμορφωτική δύναμη της διαδικασίας εστίασης (Focusing), μέσω της επαφής με τη βιωμένη αίσθηση, το άνοιγμα του εσωτερικού χώρου και τη δημιουργία σχέσης ασφάλειας και εμπιστοσύνης με το αισθητηριακό σώμα. 

Η προσέγγισή της εστιάζει στη σημασία της σχέσης και του ασφαλούς συναισθηματικού δεσμού, του τραύματος και της λειτουργίας του αυτόνομου νευρικού συστήματος. Επιπλέον, αναγνωρίζει τη σημασία της επιβεβαιωτικής στάσης ως προς τη νευροποικιλότητα, τα φύλα και τις σεξουαλικότητες.

Αγαπά το διάβασμα, το παιχνίδι, τον χορό, τα ταξίδια και κυρίως το να ξεμαθαίνει και να μαθαίνει συνεχώς.

About the specialist

Christina Polyzou is a psychologist and psychotherapist, offering evidence-based psychological support at her private practice in Ampelokipoi, Athens and online. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in scientific research and tailored to the unique needs of each individual.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Greenwich, and two Master’s degrees from King’s College London: one in Health Psychology and another in Developmental Psychology & Psychopathology. Her studies in Health Psychology provided her with an in-depth understanding of the intricate connection between mental and physical health, as well as the psychological impact of illness and the process of adapting to life’s challenges. In parallel, her work in Developmental Psychology focused on behavioural genetics, exploring the interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental influences in shaping psychological wellbeing. She also received specialised training in perinatal mental health, gaining a deeper understanding of the emotional and psychological transitions that occur during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Her clinical experience includes work at the South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, one of the UK’s leading mental health institutions. There, she gained hands-on experience in the application and assessment of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). She has also completed training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), a scientifically validated approach for processing traumatic experiences. A key aspect of her ongoing professional development is her advanced training in Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) at the Compassionate Mind Foundation, under the direct guidance of Paul Gilbert and other leading experts who have developed adaptations of CFT for specific clinical difficulties.

Each person brings their own story, challenges, and goals to therapy. Some seek relief from anxiety, stress, or low mood; others may be grappling with intense self-criticism, low self-worth, or difficulty connecting in relationships. Many are simply looking to understand themselves better and to live a life that feels more authentic and meaningful. Therapy offers a space to explore these experiences safely and constructively, working together to foster change that lasts.

At the heart of her practice is the belief that therapy is built on trust, empathy, and respect for the individuality of each person. There are no ready-made solutions or fixed pathways—each therapeutic journey is shaped around the person’s unique needs, values, and aspirations.

All sessions are conducted within a framework of confidentiality and professional integrity, following the highest standards of ethical psychological practice.
