Παράλληλα, έχει εργαστεί σε εκπαιδευτικά περιβάλλοντα, υποστηρίζοντας παιδιά και εφήβους με ειδικές εκπαιδευτικές ανάγκες και νευροαναπτυξιακές δυσκολίες. Πιστεύει ότι η θεραπεία αποτελεί έναν ασφαλή χώρο όπου κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να εξερευνήσει τις δυσκολίες του, να κατανοήσει καλύτερα τον εαυτό του και να αναπτύξει πρακτικούς τρόπους αντιμετώπισης των προκλήσεων της καθημερινότητας.

About the specialist
  • The decision to begin psychotherapy is an important step in taking care of oneself. Often, the challenges of daily life, stress, demands, or life changes can make us feel as though we’ve lost our balance. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where everyone can express themselves freely, gain a better understanding of themselves, and develop new ways to cope with the challenges they face.

  • I am a licensed psychologist, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Wrexham Glyndŵr University, and I hold a Master of Science (MSc) degree in Cognitive Neuropsychology. I am also currently training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) at the University of Crete, and I have completed specialization programs in Counseling and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.

  • My therapeutic approach is primarily based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a scientifically validated method that helps identify and modify dysfunctional patterns of thought and behavior. Each therapeutic process is tailored to the needs, values, and personal goals of each client, as I believe that every person is unique.

  • I provide support to adults facing challenges such as:

i) anxiety / panic attacks / agoraphobia / health anxiety,

ii) chronic stress and burnout,

iii) depression / depressive symptoms,

iv) difficulties in interpersonal and romantic relationships,

v) low self-esteem and self-confidence issues,

vi) emotional regulation,

vii) personal growth, self-awareness, and improving quality of life.

  • At the same time, thanks to my academic background in Cognitive Neuropsychology, I have a particular scientific interest in the connection between cognitive functions and mental health. I address issues related to neurodevelopmental and neurocognitive difficulties, such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), mild cognitive disorders, and dementia, providing psychological support and counseling to the individuals themselves and, where necessary, to their families, in collaboration with the relevant medical specialties.

  • My therapeutic approach combines the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with current knowledge in Cognitive Neuropsychology, taking into account both the psychological and cognitive processes that influence each person’s daily functioning and quality of life.

  • I believe that therapy is not limited to simply managing difficulties, but is a process of personal growth. Through collaboration, trust, and the use of scientifically validated therapeutic tools, the goal is to bring about meaningful change and strengthen mental resilience.

Sessions are conducted online, in both Greek and English, with respect for each person’s needs and individual pace.

Παράλληλα με την επαγγελματική της δραστηριότητα, συμμετέχει σε διαδικασία επαγγελματικής εποπτείας και προσωπικής θεραπείας, με στόχο τη συνεχή προσωπική και επαγγελματική της ανάπτυξη και τη διατήρηση μιας συνειδητής και υπεύθυνης θεραπευτικής πρακτικής.

Είναι απόφοιτη Ψυχολογίας του Staffordshire University και κάτοχος MSc στην Εφαρμοσμένη Θετική Ψυχολογία & Coaching από το University of East London. Έχει επίσης ολοκληρώσει τον βιωματικό κύκλο «The Science of Well-Being» του Yale University και επιμόρφωση στη Συμβουλευτική Ψυχολογία μέσω του ΕΚΠΑ. Παράλληλα, έχει εκπαιδευτεί σε βιωματικές εικαστικές προσεγγίσεις και έχει συμμετάσχει σε εθελοντικές δράσεις δημιουργικής απασχόλησης και ενδυνάμωσης παιδιών και ενηλίκων.

Στόχος της είναι η δημιουργία ενός ασφαλούς και υποστηρικτικού πλαισίου, όπου ο άνθρωπος μπορεί να εκφραστεί ελεύθερα, να κατανοήσει καλύτερα τον εαυτό του και να αναζητήσει τους δικούς του τρόπους διαχείρισης των δυσκολιών και των αλλαγών που βιώνει.

Η συμβουλευτική μπορεί να αποτελέσει χώρο για θέματα όπως η αυτογνωσία, η αυτοεκτίμηση, η αποδοχή του εαυτού, η διαχείριση του άγχους, οι διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις, η έκφραση των συναισθημάτων, η προσωπική ανάπτυξη και οι μεταβάσεις ζωής.

Για εκείνη, "η συμβουλευτική είναι, πάνω απ’ όλα, ένας χώρος ανθρώπινης συνάντησης· ένας χώρος όπου η ευαλωτότητα μπορεί να υπάρξει χωρίς να χρειάζεται να κρυφτεί και όπου κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να αναζητήσει τον δικό του δρόμο προς την αλλαγή."

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
mental health

What it is

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. Role-playing to better prepare for potentially problematic interactions with others. You become your own self-therapist.

How it could benefit you

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
mental health

What it is

It is a form of psychotherapy that teaches a person to identify negative thought patterns and change them. DBT reinforces the acceptance that all your thoughts are valid, as they are part of your life experiences and who you are. The person acts by doing the best they can for the moment. 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.

How it could benefit you

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.

How it could benefit you

It improves self-awareness and self-confidence, helps you understand how your past affects your present, how to deal effectively with stressful situations, improves human relationships and helps you better manage your emotions.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy
