Η θεραπευτική του προσέγγιση βασίζεται στις αρχές της συστημικής θεωρίας, με επιρροές από τη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφοριστική Θεραπεία (CBT) και τη Λακανική ψυχανάλυση. Η θεραπευτική του στάση προσβλέπει τη θεραπεία, ως μια διαλογική και αλληλεπιδραστική διαδικασία, κατά την οποία το νόημα και η αλλαγή προκύπτουν μέσα από τη θεραπευτική σχέση και τη συν-κατανόηση. Κεντρικές αξίες που διέπουν την προσέγγιση του, είναι η αυθεντικότητα, ο αναστοχασμός, η συμμετοχικότητα στη θεραπευτική σχέση και η διάθεση επανεξέτασης των αφηγήσεων που οργανώνουν την εμπειρία και τη ζωή του/της θεραπευόμενου/ης.

Έχει αποκτήσει κλινική εμπειρία μέσω πρακτικής άσκησης σε δομές όπως ο Οίκος Ευγηρίας “Λεώνια”, καθώς και μέσω εθελοντισμού στην ΑμΚΕ “Καρκινάκι”. Επιπλέον, έχει προσφέρει υπηρεσίες σε γραμμή ψυχολογικής υποστήριξης, παρέχοντας άμεση ψυχολογική ανακούφιση και στήριξη σε άτομα που βρίσκονται σε κατάσταση κρίσης ή έντονης συναισθηματικής δυσκολίας.

Δεσμεύεται στη διαρκή επιμόρφωση και εποπτεία, με στόχο την υπεύθυνη, επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένη και με σεβασμό παρουσία στη θεραπευτική διαδικασία.

Έχει συμμετάσχει σε πλήθος σεμιναρίων και εκπαιδευτικών δράσεων, όπως:

    •    Σεμινάριο Ψυχοεκπαίδευσης, Metropolitan College

    •    Σεμινάριο Κλινικής Ψυχανάλυσης (Ψ.Ν.Α. – Α.Κ.Σ.Π.Α.)

Παράλληλα, συμμετέχει σε εκπαιδευτικές δραστηριότητες ως εισηγητής σε σεμινάρια ψυχολογίας και επόπτης πτυχιακών εργασιών σε φοιτητές/τριες Ψυχολογίας. Έχει επίσης συμμετάσχει ως ομιλητής (individual speaker) σε διεθνές επιστημονικό συνέδριο, παρουσιάζοντας ερευνητική εργασία.

Στο θεραπευτικό πλαίσιο υποστηρίζει άτομα που αντιμετωπίζουν άγχος, συναισθηματικές δυσκολίες, εσωτερικές συγκρούσεις, δυσκολίες στις διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις, απώλεια και ζητήματα αυτοεκτίμησης.

Σήμερα εργάζεται ιδιωτικά, προσφέροντας ατομικές συνεδρίες δια ζώσης και διαδικτυακά. Στο πλαίσιο της θεραπευτικής του πρακτικής, η διαδικασία προσεγγίζεται ως ένας χώρος διαλόγου και συνεργασίας, όπου οι εμπειρίες, οι σκέψεις και τα συναισθήματα μπορούν να εκφραστούν και να διερευνηθούν με ασφάλεια. Μέσα από αυτή τη διερεύνηση, οι προσωπικές αφηγήσεις μπορούν να επανεξεταστούν και να αποκτήσουν νέα νοήματα, ανοίγοντας τη δυνατότητα για διαφορετικούς τρόπους κατανόησης του εαυτού και των σχέσεων.
