Βοηθάμε τους γονείς να βρουν λύση σε οτιδήποτε τους απασχολεί με το παιδί τους, από 0 έως 18 ετών, προσωποποιημένα στην οικογένειά τους, με βαθιά γνώση γύρω από τη διαπαιδαγώγηση και βασισμένοι στις τελευταίες επιστημονικές εξελίξεις.

Ειδικευόμαστε στην Συμβουλευτική Γονέων που πιστεύουμε ότι αποτελεί το πρώτο βήμα στην αντιμετώπιση οποιουδήποτε ζητήματος στην οικογένεια. Και δεν μένουμε στη θεωρία. Μοιραζόμαστε πρακτικούς τρόπους και δοκιμασμένες τακτικές που μπορούν οι γονείς να υιοθετήσουν για να δουν πολύ γρήγορα τις αλλαγές που θέλουν στην οικογένειά τους.

Ζητήματα όπως το άγχος και η επιθετικότητα, η αποτελεσματική οριοθέτηση, ο ύπνος, το φαγητό και οι φυσικές ανάγκες, η προσκόλληση, η συνεργασία των γονέων στη διαπαιδαγώγηση, αλλά και ζητήματα γύρω από τη χρήση οθονών, την κοινωνικοποίηση, το σχολείο και τις σχολικές επιδόσεις, τον σχολικό εκφοβισμό, οικογενειακές κρίσεις, κ.ά., βρίσκονται στο επίκεντρο της δουλειάς μας.

Μέσα από τη συνεργασία μας, οι γονείς μαθαίνουν τη φιλοσοφία και τη λογική πίσω από τη Θετική Διαπαιδαγώγηση, τον ενδεδειγμένο πλέον τρόπο καθοδήγησης των παιδιών, χωρίς συμβατικές μεθόδους όπως η τιμωρία, οι φωνές, οι απειλές, οι δωροδοκίες, κ.ά. Οι γονείς εξοικειώνονται σταδιακά με τη νέα προσέγγιση, μαθαίνουν πρακτικούς τρόπους για το πώς μπορούν να υποστηρίξουν το παιδί τους σε κάθε πρόκληση που αντιμετωπίζει, χτίζουν μαζί του μία ζεστή, υποστηρικτική σχέση, και βλέπουν το κλίμα στην οικογένειά τους να μεταμορφώνεται.

Η Συμβουλευτική Γονέων στο Parenting.Today δεν μένει στη θεωρία. Εστιάζει στην πράξη, δίνοντας στους γονείς συγκεκριμένα εργαλεία και πρακτικές εφαρμογές επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένες, που αποσκοπούν στην βέλτιστη υποστήριξη των παιδιών καθώς μεγαλώνουν. Η συμβουλευτική γίνεται από εξειδικευμένους συμβούλους γονέων σε ιδιωτικές διαδικτυακές συναντήσεις των 50 λεπτών.

Ξεκινήστε ακόμα και αυθημερόν, επιλέγοντας την ώρα που σάς εξυπηρετεί!

Η Θετική Διαπαιδαγώγηση:

1.Διαμορφώνει ένα κλίμα αμοιβαίου σεβασμού στην οικογένεια.

2.Δίνει στα παιδιά το εσωτερικό κίνητρο για να ακολουθούν την καθοδήγηση των γονιών τους.

3.Τα παιδιά τα πάνε καλύτερα στο σχολείο, έχουν λιγότερα προβλήματα συμπεριφοράς και καλύτερη συναισθηματική υγεία μεγαλώνοντας.

4.Ενισχύει την αυτοπεποίθηση των παιδιών, καλλιεργεί την αυτονομία τους και τα προετοιμάζει κατάλληλα για την εφηβεία και την ενήλικη ζωή.

5.Βοηθάει τους γονείς να είναι πιο ευαίσθητοι και υποστηρικτικοί για τα παιδιά τους, πιο ήρεμοι και πιο χαρούμενοι στον γονικό τους ρόλο.

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.

Η Ευτέρπη Κουρουκεχαγιά είναι Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας και Προσωπικής Ανάπτυξης, με συνθετική προσέγγιση και ιδιαίτερη εξειδίκευση στη Συμβουλευτική Ζεύγους και τη Συμβουλευτική Γονέων. Διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στη Βούλα και στο Χαλάνδρι, προσφέροντας παράλληλα τη δυνατότητα διαδικτυακών συνεδριών. Η 30ετής επιτυχημένη επαγγελματική της πορεία, τόσο σε θέσεις ευθύνης στη Διοίκηση Επιχειρήσεων και στη Διαχείριση Ανθρώπινου Δυναμικού σε μεγάλες πολυεθνικές εταιρείες, όσο και ως ιδιοκτήτρια επιχείρησης από νεαρή ηλικία, της έδωσε την ευκαιρία να γνωρίσει σε βάθος τους ανθρώπους, τις ανάγκες, τις προκλήσεις και τις δυνατότητες τους. Παράλληλα, απέκτησε ουσιαστική εμπειρία στη διαχείριση των ανθρώπων, στη διαχείριση και επίλυση συγκρούσεων και προβλημάτων, στην αποτελεσματική επικοινωνία, στη στοχοθεσία και στην επίτευξη στόχων. Μέσα από αυτή την πολύτιμη εμπειρία ανέπτυξε βαθιά κατανόηση των ανθρώπινων σχέσεων και των διαφορετικών αναγκών και δυνατοτήτων κάθε ανθρώπου, διαμορφώνοντας την ακλόνητη πεποίθηση ότι κάθε άνθρωπος διαθέτει μέσα του τη δύναμη και τους εσωτερικούς πόρους να ξεπεράσει τις δυσκολίες, να εξελιχθεί και να πετύχει τους στόχους του. Όταν νιώσει ότι βρίσκεται σε ένα ασφαλές, υποστηρικτικό και χωρίς κριτική περιβάλλον, με την κατάλληλη προσέγγιση μπορεί να ανακαλύψει τις δυνατότητες του και να ανθίσει με τον δικό του μοναδικό τρόπο.

Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση δίνει στο παιδί, τον έφηβο και την οικογένεια, διαθέτοντας εξειδικεύσεις και πιστοποιήσεις στην Παιδοψυχολογία, τη Σχολική Ψυχολογία, τις Σχολές Γονέων, τη Σεξουαλική Διαπαιδαγώγηση και Ψυχολογία των νεανικών σχέσεων, τις αιτίες και την αντιμετώπιση του Σχολικού Εκφοβισμού, καθώς και στη Συμβουλευτική για τη διαχείριση της Ψυχολογίας των νέων. Παράλληλα, στους τομείς της αυτοβελτίωσης και της καριέρας, είναι πιστοποιημένη Life Coach και έχει πιστοποιηθεί στη Θετική Ψυχολογία, (Mindfulness Meditation and Positive Psychology), στη Συμβουλευτική Σταδιοδρομίας και τον Επαγγελματικό Προσανατολισμό, στην ανάπτυξη στρατηγικών Coaching και Mentoring, καθώς και στην εκπαίδευση εκπαιδευτών και στελεχών.

Αναγνωρίζοντας τη βαθιά ευθύνη του ρόλου της απέναντι στους ανθρώπους που την εμπιστεύονται, η κ. Κουρουκεχαγιά επενδύει αδιάκοπα στη συνεχή της εκπαίδευση. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, εκτός από τις σπουδές της στην Ψυχολογία στο London Metropolitan University, συνεχίζει να επιμορφώνεται διαρκώς, εμπλουτίζοντας τις γνώσεις και τις δεξιότητες της μέσα από νέες εκπαιδεύσεις και εξειδικεύσεις. Με γνώμονα την αυστηρή επαγγελματική δεοντολογία και την παροχή υπηρεσιών υψηλής ποιότητας, φροντίζει σταθερά για τη δική της ατομική και ομαδική θεραπεία, καθώς και για την κλινική της εποπτεία. Επιπροσθέτως, συμμετέχει ενεργά σε επαγγελματικούς φορείς, όπως η Ελληνική Εταιρεία Ανασυνδυασμένης Εκλεκτικής Συμβουλευτικής και ο Σύλλογος Συμβουλευτικής Coaching Mentoring Ελλάδας, παραμένοντας πλήρως ενημερωμένη για όλες τις σύγχρονες εξελίξεις στο πεδίο της συμβουλευτικής.

He is a member of the Borromean Knot Society of the New Lacanian School of Psychoanalysis in Greece and actively participates in its activities.

Psychoanalysis is an invitation to speak. Over time, each person's speech organizes around what is difficult or impossible for them to bear. They speak about their symptom. Lacanian psychoanalysis offers the possibility of inventing a new way to cope with their symptom, with the specific way they suffer. Through the discourse that the analysand addresses to the analyst, they can begin to find personalized and satisfactory solutions to old and repetitive modes of existence and reactions.
