Arapi Xristina is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist. She graduated with distinction from the Department of Applied Psychology at the University of Derby and completed her Master's degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of East London.
Subsequently, she trained in Systemic Therapy at the Hellenic Institute of Human Relations, and in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy at DIKEPSY and the Hellenic Psychoanalytic Society, completing an internship at the 251 Air Force General Hospital.
Concurrently, she completed her training in Art Therapy at the Hellenic Center for Art and Psychotherapy.
Finally, she has pursued specialized training in three particularly human fields that often remain on the periphery of psychological care: Criminology, Special Education, and Giftedness, through the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), applying the latter by coordinating, as a member of Greek Mensa, the corresponding special interest group.
With over ten years of experience in psychotherapeutic practice, she has worked both privately and within institutions (psychiatric clinics, mental health facilities, and therapeutic groups).
Alongside individual sessions, she coordinates personal development groups and psychodynamic therapy groups (group therapy).
She continues to actively participate in scientific conferences and seminars, aiming for ongoing education, maintaining the belief that the boundaries of scientific knowledge, like those of human beings, are nearly inexhaustible.
Particular emphasis is placed on confidentiality, safety, and freedom of expression within the therapeutic framework, because above all, psychotherapy is a relationship governed by authenticity. Therefore, the value of this relationship always remains at the core, as the foundation of any meaningful change.
