A few words about our collaborator

Panagiotakopoulou Eleni is a Psychologist trained in Michel Lobrot's Non-Directional Interventionism (NDI) model, which has as a basic principle the focus on desire. This model is mainly addressed to people who want to deepen their personal relationships and their knowledge of themselves. To people whose body gives them signs that "something is not right". To people suffering from physical or mental illnesses and their families. She graduated from the Psychology Department of Panteion University and her first work experiences were in psychiatric hospitals and departments, where she learned to meet people beyond diagnostic labels and criteria. She worked in a special school and an employment centre for children and adolescents with special abilities, supporting parents and adolescents and in NGO projects, aiming at psychological support for refugees and victims of gender violence. Finally, she has worked in a programme of psychological support and social integration of families in precarious housing or shelter, and has volunteered her services in municipal clinics.
