Η Ανασυνδιασμένη Εκλεκτική Συμβουλευτική είναι μια σύγχρονη, ευέλικτη προσέγγιση που δεν περιορίζεται σε μία σχολή σκέψης. Συνδυάζει στοιχεία από διαφορετικά συμβουλευτικά και ψυχοθεραπευτικά μοντέλα, επιλέγοντας κάθε φορά ό,τι ταιριάζει καλύτερα στον άνθρωπο και στη φάση ζωής στην οποία βρίσκεται. Η διαδρομή της ειδικού δεν είναι μονοδιάστατη. Προέρχεται από τον χώρο της εργασίας, της ευθύνης και των απαιτητικών ρόλων ζωής. Έχει ζήσει τις πιέσεις, τις αλλαγές, τις απώλειες και τις μεταβάσεις που φέρνει ο χρόνος. Αυτή η εμπειρία είναι αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι του τρόπου που προσεγγίζει τον άνθρωπο.

Για όσους έχουν ξανακάνει τον κύκλο και είναι έτοιμοι να τον διανύσουν με άλλον τρόπο.

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.
