Η Διαμαντή Ελένη είναι Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας και διατηρεί το Κέντρο Ψυχοδράματος & Ανάπτυξης της Προσωπικότητας "Διάδραση" στην Παιανία, έναν χώρο αφιερωμένο στην προσωπική εξέλιξη και τη συναισθηματική αποφόρτιση. Πιστεύει ακράδαντα ότι η θεραπευτική διαδικασία είναι μια ζωντανή εμπειρία που υπερβαίνει τη συζήτηση. Για τον λόγο αυτό, η προσέγγισή της βασίζεται στο Ψυχόδραμα, μια μέθοδο που προσκαλεί το άτομο να «δράσει» τις εσωτερικές του συγκρούσεις αντί απλώς να τις περιγράψει, στοχεύοντας στη διαρκή ανάπτυξη της προσωπικότητας.

Είναι πτυχιούχος και κάτοχος Integrate Master του Τμήματος Θεάτρου Σχολής Καλών Τεχνών Α.Π.Θ., με ειδικότητα στη Θεατρολογία - Δραματολογία και τα Θεατροπαιδαγωγικά. Ολοκλήρωσα τη διπλωματική της εργασία αναφορικά με την επίδραση του Θεάτρου στους εφήβους και παρακολούθησε με επιτυχία επιμορφωτικά σεμινάρια ("Παιδί, τραύμα και πένθος", "Ιχνηλάτιση παιδικής ζωγραφιάς", "Σχολική Ψυχολογία"). Σήμερα εκπαιδεύεται ως Ψυχοδραματίστρια και Συντονίστρια Ομάδων του Ψυχοδραματικού Κέντρου Ανάπτυξης της Προσωπικότητας (ΨΥ.Κ.Α.Π.), αναγνωρισμένο στην Ευρώπη (μέλος της FEPTO). Η πρακτική της πλαισιώνεται από συνεχή εποπτεία, διασφαλίζοντας ένα ασφαλές και δεοντολογικό περιβάλλον για κάθε θεραπευόμενο. Η 5ετής εμπειρία της ως συντονίστρια θεατρικού παιχνιδιού της επέτρεψε να κατανοήσει βαθιά τη δύναμη της δράσης και του συμβόλου. Έτσι, ενσωματώνει αυτή τη γνώση στην ψυχοδραματική της πρακτική, βοηθώντας τους θεραπευόμενους να ξεκλειδώσουν τη δημιουργικότητά τους και να προσεγγίσουν τον εαυτό τους με έναν τρόπο πιο άμεσο και ζωντανό.

Σε αντίθεση με τις παραδοσιακές μορφές θεραπείας, το ψυχόδραμα χρησιμοποιεί τον αυθορμητισμό και τη δημιουργικότητα. Μέσα από τεχνικές όπως η εναλλαγή ρόλων, εξερευνώνται σχέσεις και τα όρια, οι όροι στην οικογένεια, την εργασία ή τη σχέση του ατόμου, η διαχείριση άγχους, η ανάδειξη των πηγών πίεσης και η εύρεση νέων τρόπων αντίδρασης, η αυτογνωσία, η επαφή με το "εδώ και τώρα" και η ανακάλυψη της αλήθειας του ατόμου.

Το Κέντρο Ψυχοδράματος & Ανάπτυξης της Προσωπικότητας "Διάδραση" στην Παιανία είναι σχεδιασμένο για να προσφέρει την απαραίτητη άνεση και ελευθερία κινήσεων που απαιτεί η βιωματική εργασία. Στόχος της είναι να δημιουργήσει μαζί με τους θεραπευόμενους έναν "ασφαλή τόπο", όπου κάθε σκέψη και συναίσθημα μπορεί να πάρει μορφή και να μετασχηματιστεί.

Dimitris Aggelopoulos is a psychotherapist and educator specializing in Group Analysis. In his private practice, located in the center of Athens, he provides individual and group psychotherapy to individuals facing challenges in their personal lives, relationships, or mental health. His goal is not only the relief of symptoms, but also the emergence of each unique individual and the discovery of new ways of behavior and perception, focusing on healthy relationships and a sense of fulfillment.

He firmly believes that psychological difficulties are not solely individual problems, but mirrors of society, the relationships, and the groups within which we live and interact. Through Group Analysis, he utilizes the function of the group to facilitate the revealing of hidden aspects of the self, offering honest feedback and creating a space where individuals can express themselves freely, without fear of judgment. The group operates as a microcosm of relationships – a dynamic reality in which changes do not remain theoretical, but significantly impact the members’ broader lives.

Dimitris Aggelopoulos fosters an environment of safety and trust, where each person has the opportunity to face their challenges and cultivate the distinctive characteristics of their personality. Psychotherapy is not a luxury, but a vital investment in the relationship with ourselves and others.
