Pantazis Xristos is a psychologist with a degree in Psychology from Middlesex University in the United Kingdom.

Since 2017, when he was licensed to practice as a psychologist, he has worked in his private practice, where he exclusively conducts individual sessions, addressing cases based on the personalized needs of each individual.

Mr. Pantazis states, “When someone arrives at a psychologist's office, they are often ready to approach the prospect of change in certain situations that concern them. In most cases, change arises through the adoption of a different way of thinking. Thinking is a form of listening – an internal listening. Who is the one speaking? Why do we listen to them? What are the reasons behind our actions or reactions to what we hear? To achieve a desired outcome, it is important to understand that the goal is to change the way we listen to ourselves.” If the way of thinking is repetitive and leads to specific outcomes, it is considered a mechanism.

In his office, you will observe these mechanisms and aim to negotiate or reconsider their usefulness. His invitation to clients is clear:

“Talk to me so I can negotiate with the one trying to be heard!”

Ο εθισμός πέρα από την ξεκάθαρη μορφή των ουσιών ή του αλκοόλ, μπορεί να πάρει πολλές μορφές (συνεξάρτηση, internet, porn, τροφή ) στις ζωές όλων μας, σε διαφορετικά διαστήματα.

Επιπρόσθετα, η διαδρομή του στην προσωπική του θεραπεία, το θάρρος, η κατάθεσης ψυχής, η προοδευτικά αυξανόμενη ειλικρίνεια και η αποεπένδυση του μίγματος ενοχών και ντροπής, λειτούργησε σαν να έχει αφαιρεθεί βάρος από την ψυχή του και εν δυνάμει, αυτό μπορεί να προσφερθεί σε όποιον/α επιθυμεί να υπάρξει και να δουλέψει μέσα στο θεραπευτικό δωμάτιο. Τέλος, παρέχει ατομικές συνεδρίες συμβουλευτικής και ψυχοθεραπείας, βασισμένες στο συνθετικό μοντέλο που απαντούν σε θεραπευτικά αιτήματα με εκδηλώσεις στο άγχος, τις φοβίες, τις κρίσεις πανικού, την κατάθλιψη, το πένθος και την απώλεια, υπαρξιακά δεδομένα, δυσλειτουργικές πεποιθήσεις,  χαμηλή αντίληψη εαυτού και αυτοεικόνας, χρήση ή κατάχρηση ουσιών, συνεξάρτηση, μεταβολές ζωής και αντίσταση στην αλλαγή, διαταραχές άγχους και  προσωπικότητας (σε συνεργασία με τον/την εκάστοτε ψυχίατρο από τον/την οποίο/α παρακολουθείται ο θεραπευόμενος).
