Additionally, she specializes through a four-year training program in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provided by the Hellenic Society of Cognitive and Behavioral Psychotherapy (GACBP).

The therapeutic approach of Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy aims to illuminate the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. From early years and throughout a person's life, certain thought patterns as well as cognitive and behavioral "habits" are formed that are not always functional and often lead to dysphoric feelings or complicate our relationship with ourselves or others.

In therapy, the goal is to establish a therapeutic alliance and collaboration to identify these patterns. By setting realistic goals and considering objective environmental challenges, the individual begins to gain self-awareness, practice self-acceptance and self-compassion, and through a range of tools, develops new mechanisms for managing the self, relationships, and everyday situations.

Θεραπευτική Προσέγγιση

Η ψυχοθεραπευτική διαδικασία αποτελεί τόπο συνάντησης και υπαρξιακού διαλόγου. Η θεραπευτική σχέση γίνεται το έδαφος για αυτοεξερεύνηση, για διεύρυνση του εσωτερικού χώρου ώστε να χωρέσουν όλες οι πτυχές του ανθρώπου και για επαναφήγηση της προσωπικής ιστορίας ώστε να αποκτήσει το αυθεντικό της νόημα. Η θεραπευτική διαδρομή δεν υπόσχεται άμεσες λύσεις· ανοίγει, αντίθετα, τον δρόμο προς μια βαθύτερη κατανόηση του εαυτού και του τρόπου που το άτομο κατοικεί τη ζωή του, έτσι ώστε να συναντηθεί με ειλικρίνεια με τον εαυτό του ξετυλίγοντας το δυναμικό του με ελευθερία και πληρότητα.

Σε μια ολιστική θεώρηση της ύπαρξης του ανθρώπου και της ψυχοθεραπείας, κάθε ζήτημα προσεγγίζεται μέσα στο πλαίσιο της μοναδικής ιστορίας του και του βιωματικού του πεδίου. Η θεραπευτική πρακτική δεν προσανατολίζεται στη διαχείριση του συμπτώματος, αλλά αναζητά το ευρύτερο νόημά του εντός της ιστορίας και του πεδίου στο οποίο αναδύεται.
