Mental Health Counselors

Kovatsevits Konstantatou Alexandra is an experienced Mental Health Counselor – Psychotherapist in the field of individual, group, couples, and parent therapy. Since 2014, she has maintained a private practice, offering her support to individuals, couples, and groups.

Her approach is person-centered, humanistic, relational, and informed by attachment theory. She advocates for a non-diagnostic perspective on human distress, working with clients through non-pharmaceutical methods, and building a strong therapeutic alliance with them.

In addition, she specializes in working with couples using the Emotionally Focused Couple’s Therapy (EFT) model. Thanks to her international background and her language skills, she has gained substantial experience working with intercultural couples (mixed couples).

She possesses extensive and long-standing experience in various life situations and has lived and worked in many countries. With an academic background in Economics and professional experience in the business world of shipping—and always believing that life is a continuous process of change and learning—she once again set an example through her own life by training as a Mental Health Counselor, obtaining a Master’s degree in Person-Centered Counseling & Psychotherapy from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.

She then continued her training as a Parent Counselor with the EAG (Effective Parent Training) model by Gordon Hellas. She also trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) at the Hellenic Focusing Center, completing the Externship in EFT at the Baruch Ivcher School of Psychology, as well as the Core Skills program with the EFT Greek Network.

Finally, she has also offered her services voluntarily at the Elderly Care Center “Nea Thalpi”, where she created a psychological support group for relatives of elderly people suffering from dementia, and at the Counseling Center “Together for Children.”

She is suitable because she combines specialized knowledge with authenticity, empathy, and a deep understanding of the problems. Additionally, her experience helps her design the therapeutic plan and provide solutions to the patient based on their needs and experiences. Furthermore, the approach she applies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is an ideal method not only for disorders such as depression and anxiety but also for other issues that may affect daily life. Finally, her goal is always to provide the best possible service and the fastest relief for the patient, focusing on their personal goals and requests.

Her philosophy is based on the belief that every person already possesses within themselves all they need to flourish—the only requirement is the appropriate environment, support, and guidance to discover and utilize these resources.

This is the purpose served by BE YOU:

A space for inner exploration, authentic connection, and personal transformation.

It does not tell anyone who to become—it helps each person remember who they truly are.

BE YOU – because change begins from within.

Eustathiou Elina is a Mental Health Counselor - trainee Psychotherapist and maintains a private practice in Panormou. She shows a particular interest in the connection between the individual and themselves as well as others—both on a personal and professional level.

In recent years, he has maintained a private Counseling and Psychotherapy Center in the center of Komotini, working both online and in person. He believes that Psychodynamic Psychotherapy helps individuals to better understand themselves, recognize deeper feelings and thoughts, and improve the way they relate to others. A crucial role in this process is played by the real and authentic relationship experienced between the Psychotherapist and the Client. This relationship becomes an important tool, where patterns and emotions that emerge within the therapeutic relationship facilitate the understanding of the Client’s relationships outside therapy. Thus, over time, the Client can express themselves freely, better understand themselves, process difficult emotions, and ultimately live more freely, with greater self-awareness and authenticity in their relationships.

Gesthimani Pantelidou is a Mental Health Counselor - Psychotherapist and has been running the Mental Health Center - "aniGma" in Nea Smyrni for the past 7 years.

Additionally, as a personal coach with extensive experience in the business sector, she supports the encouragement of change, motivation, utilization of personal potential, enhancement of self-confidence and self-esteem, management of indecisiveness, as well as goal setting and achievement. Based on the Synthetic Approach, she combines techniques from Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Psychodynamic therapies, as well as personal coaching techniques, to flexibly adapt to the needs and personality of each client. In today’s era of general disorientation and loneliness, the human individual strives to cope with pain, fear, and anxiety arising from the ambiguity of their constantly changing life. Psychological support and counseling sessions aim to reveal the distinctly personal functional adaptation method of the individual to the present and future of their life, discovering the unused potentials of their soul in conjunction with the ongoing cultivation of their communication skills with their environment.

“...I am not entirely guilty for the life I lead, since I did not choose it, nor am I entirely innocent from the moment I continue it...”

Υπαρξιακή Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια

ΣΠΟΥΔΕΣ ΚΑΙ ΕΚΠΑΙΔΕΥΣΗ 

Είμαι Υπαρξιακή Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια και Κοινωνική Λειτουργός με 22 χρόνια εμπειρίας στον χώρο της ψυχικής υγείας και της κοινωνικής φροντίδας.

Σπούδασα Κοινωνική Εργασία στο Τ.Ε.Ι. Αθήνας. Στη συνέχεια ολοκλήρωσα 6 ετή εκπαίδευση στην Υπαρξιακή Συστημική – Οικογενειακή Ψυχοθεραπεία και τριετή εκπαίδευση σε ομάδα Γενεόγραμματος στο Ψυχοθεραπευτικό Ινστιτούτο ΑΝΤΙΣΤΙΞΗ, υπό την εποπτεία των Παιδοψυχιάτρων – Ψυχοθεραπευτών Δημήτρη και Ελένης Καραγιάννη. Παράλληλα με την εκπαίδευση μου συμμετείχα επί 6 χρόνια σε ομάδα αυτογνωσίας για την προσωπική μου εξέλιξη. Είμαι πιστοποιημένη ψυχοθεραπεύτρια από την ΕΛΕΣΥΘ (Ελληνική Εταιρεία Συστημικής Οικογενειακής Θεραπείας). Επίσης έχω ολοκληρώσει εκπαίδευση ενός έτους στην μέθοδο Gordon-Εκπαίδευση του αποτελεσματικού γονέα.  Παρακολουθώ συστηματικά επιστημονικά συνέδρια και εκπαιδευτικά σεμινάρια σχετικά με την ψυχοθεραπεία και τη δυναμική των σχέσεων.

Έχω πολυετή εμπειρία στον δημόσιο τομέα, με αντικείμενο την κοινωνική υποστήριξη οικογενειών, θετών και αναδόχων γονέων, καθώς και την εκπαίδευση τους. Η επαγγελματική μου εμπειρία έχει ενισχύσει τη βαθιά μου κατανόηση για τη λειτουργία της οικογένειας και τις ανάγκες των ανθρώπων μέσα στα σύγχρονα κοινωνικά πλαίσια.

ΘΕΡΑΠΕΥΤΙΚΗ ΠΡΟΣΈΓΓΙΣΗ 

 Πιστεύω ότι κάθε άνθρωπος έχει μέσα του την δυνατότητα για αλλαγή, να εμπνέεται, να δημιουργεί και να ανακαλύπτει νέους τρόπους σύνδεσης με τον εαυτό του και τους άλλους. Η δουλειά μου επικεντρώνεται στη δημιουργία ενός σταθερού πλαισίου με αποδοχή και σεβασμό όπου ο άνθρωπος μπορεί να εκφράσει ελεύθερα τα συναισθήματα του, να επεξεργαστεί τα βιώματα του, να επαναπροσδιορίσει τις σχέσεις του, να κατανοήσει και να αγαπήσει τον εαυτό του.Η θεραπευτική διαδικασία στοχεύει στην ενίσχυση της αυτογνωσίας, τη συναισθηματική ωριμότητα, την έμπνευση και την ανάληψη της προσωπικής ευθύνης καθώς και τη δημιουργία λειτουργικών σχέσεων. 

Συνεργάζομαι με ενήλικες, εφήβους, ζευγάρια, οικογένειες που επιθυμούν να βελτιώσουν την επικοινωνία τους, να φροντίσουν τις σχέσεις τους, να δώσουν χώρο στα συναισθήματα τους και να τα επεξεργαστούν, να αναπτύξουν βαθύτερη κατανόηση και επαφή με τον εαυτό τους και τους άλλους. Να δημιουργούν σχέσεις με αυθεντικότητα, τρυφερότητα και ισορροπία και να ζουν με πληρότητα και χαρά!
