About the specialist
  • The decision to begin psychotherapy is an important step in taking care of oneself. Often, the challenges of daily life, stress, demands, or life changes can make us feel as though we’ve lost our balance. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where everyone can express themselves freely, gain a better understanding of themselves, and develop new ways to cope with the challenges they face.

  • I am a licensed psychologist, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Wrexham Glyndŵr University, and I hold a Master of Science (MSc) degree in Cognitive Neuropsychology. I am also currently training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) at the University of Crete, and I have completed specialization programs in Counseling and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.

  • My therapeutic approach is primarily based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a scientifically validated method that helps identify and modify dysfunctional patterns of thought and behavior. Each therapeutic process is tailored to the needs, values, and personal goals of each client, as I believe that every person is unique.

  • I provide support to adults facing challenges such as:

i) anxiety / panic attacks / agoraphobia / health anxiety,

ii) chronic stress and burnout,

iii) depression / depressive symptoms,

iv) difficulties in interpersonal and romantic relationships,

v) low self-esteem and self-confidence issues,

vi) emotional regulation,

vii) personal growth, self-awareness, and improving quality of life.

  • At the same time, thanks to my academic background in Cognitive Neuropsychology, I have a particular scientific interest in the connection between cognitive functions and mental health. I address issues related to neurodevelopmental and neurocognitive difficulties, such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), mild cognitive disorders, and dementia, providing psychological support and counseling to the individuals themselves and, where necessary, to their families, in collaboration with the relevant medical specialties.

  • My therapeutic approach combines the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with current knowledge in Cognitive Neuropsychology, taking into account both the psychological and cognitive processes that influence each person’s daily functioning and quality of life.

  • I believe that therapy is not limited to simply managing difficulties, but is a process of personal growth. Through collaboration, trust, and the use of scientifically validated therapeutic tools, the goal is to bring about meaningful change and strengthen mental resilience.

Sessions are conducted online, in both Greek and English, with respect for each person’s needs and individual pace.

About the specialist

Dimitra Drakaki is a Clinical Psychologist who works privately, offering online therapy sessions in Greek, English and French. She holds a Bachelor’s degree (BSc) in Psychology from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, as well as a Master’s degree (MSc) in Clinical Psychology, Psychopathology, and Health Psychology from Paris Nanterre University in France.

Her therapeutic practice is grounded in the psychodynamic model, with theoretical and clinical training obtained through the psychoanalytic program of Paris Nanterre University, complemented by further specialization through seminars and professional trainings at institutions such as ASM13 (Paris, France). In parallel, she is engaged in personal therapy and receives psychodynamic supervision.

Her clinical interests have led her to work with diverse populations and settings, including psychiatric clinics (ASM13 – Hôpital L’Eau-Vive, CH Fondation Vallée), medical and psychosocial support centers (CMP Philippe Paumelle, Centre Friends’ Play, SOS Children’s Villages), working with adults as well as children and adolescents. She has provided individual therapy and facilitated therapeutic groups, as well as groups for mental health professionals. Issues related to parenthood and family relationships are central to her research interests; she has explored women’s experiences of infertility and its connection to the biological and emotional dimensions of the female body.

Allowing her professional identity to be shaped through these experiences, she draws on a range of therapeutic tools that enable each individual to come into contact with a more authentic version of themselves. The aim of the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe space in which the client can process their experiences, reflect on their personal history, and develop greater awareness and freedom in relation to their choices and desires.

Για εκείνη, "η συμβουλευτική είναι, πάνω απ’ όλα, ένας χώρος ανθρώπινης συνάντησης· ένας χώρος όπου η ευαλωτότητα μπορεί να υπάρξει χωρίς να χρειάζεται να κρυφτεί και όπου κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να αναζητήσει τον δικό του δρόμο προς την αλλαγή."

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
mental health

What it is

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy applied to problems such as depression, anxiety disorders, abuse, relationship and marriage problems, eating disorders and serious mental illness.The therapist emphasizes what is happening in the current life rather than the past and what led to the difficulties.

Approach

Identifying the distortions in a person's thinking that are causing problems and then examining these in the light of reality. Understanding the behaviour and motivations of others and using problem-solving skills to deal with difficult situations. Dealing with fears rather than avoiding them. Role-playing to better prepare for potentially problematic interactions with others. You become your own self-therapist.

How it could benefit you

Helps the individual to change dysfunctional thought patterns and behaviors. Improves your functioning and quality of life by helping to change patterns and behaviours. Teaches you to be your own self-therapist.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
