Το πιο σημαντικό για εμάς είναι η δημιουργία ενός χώρου συνάντησης χωρίς προκαθορισμένες απαντήσεις, μακριά από παγιωμένες πεποιθήσεις. Είναι η αποδοχή της ιδιαιτερότητας του υποκειμένου που θα μας επισκεφτεί. Η από κοινού δημιουργία ενός πλαισίου ασφάλειας και εμπιστοσύνης, όπου θα αναπνεύσει και θα εκφραστεί το προσωπικό αίτημα, μέσα από έναν τρόπο ενικό.

Διανοίγουμε έτσι την προοπτική ρήξης με το πεπρωμένο, τον εξαναγκασμό της επανάληψης, την οδύνη του συμπτώματος, την δυσφορία που αναστέλλει τη ζωή.

Έτσι, κάνοντας τομές στις προκαταλήψεις (φύλου, ηλικίας, θρησκευτικών και πάσης φύσεως κοινωνικών επιταγών) διεκδικούμε σταδιακά τον ορίζοντα της προσωπικής επιθυμίας, μέσα από διαφορετικές επιλογές.

Το πρόγραμμα του Κέντρου Ψυχαναλυτικών Ερευνών είναι εμπνευσμένο από το έργο της Section Clinique, της κλινικής διδασκαλίας η οποία ξεκίνησε την δεκαετία του ’70 στο Τμήμα Ψυχανάλυσης που ίδρυσε ο Jacques Lacan στο Πανεπιστήμιο Paris VIII.

Είναι αριστούχος απόφοιτος του τριετούς προγράμματος μετεκπαίδευσης Ψυχαναλυτική και Ψυχοδυναμική Συμβουλευτική Προσέγγιση, Τομέας Ψυχολογίας, CPS Arts & Psychotherapy.

Είναι μέλος της Εταιρίας Ελλήνων Σκηνοθετών.

Ασχολείται με την ψυχανάλυση και την ψυχοθεραπεία τα τελευταία δέκα χρόνια. Παράλληλα, ασχολείται με την συγγραφή θεατρικών έργων, γράφει ποίηση και σκηνοθετεί παραστάσεις. Το θεωρητικό του υπόβαθρο περιλαμβάνει όλες τις θεμελιωμένες ψυχοδυναμικές προσεγγίσεις, αλλά η κλινική του προσέγγιση είναι λακανικού προσανατολισμού. Ο άνθρωπος που θα αποφασίσει να μπει σε ανάλυση, θα μπει σε διαπραγματεύσεις με το ασυνείδητό του, την απόλαυσή του, το σύμπτωμα και την ασυνείδητη επιθυμία του.

Η επιλογή της να ασχοληθεί με την ψυχολογία προέκυψε από το ενδιαφέρον της για τον άνθρωπο, τις σχέσεις και τον τρόπο με τον οποίο ο καθένας βιώνει και νοηματοδοτεί την εμπειρία του.

Στο πλαίσιο της δουλειάς της, στόχος της είναι να προσφέρει έναν ασφαλή και υποστηρικτικό χώρο, όπου κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να εκφραστεί ελεύθερα, χωρίς φόβο κριτικής, έτσι όπως ακριβώς είναι. Πιστεύει βαθιά, ότι ο καθένας έχει μέσα του τη δυνατότητα για κατανόηση, εξέλιξη και αλλαγή, όταν βρεθεί στο κατάλληλο περιβάλλον όπου νοιώθει και είναι αποδεκτός χωρίς όρους.

Η προσέγγισή της βασίζεται στην αυθεντική σχέση, την ενσυναίσθηση και τον σεβασμό στη μοναδικότητα του κάθε ατόμου. Δίνει έμφαση στον ρυθμό και τις ανάγκες του θεραπευόμενου, συνοδεύοντάς τον στο μονοπάτι προς τη συνάντηση με τον εαυτό του και την προσωπική του ανάπτυξη.

Παρέχει υπηρεσίες ψυχοθεραπείας σε ενήλικες και εφήβους για θέματα όπως το άγχος και η ένταση, οι δυσκολίες στις σχέσεις, οι τραυματικές εμπειρίες, η χαμηλή αυτοεκτίμηση και η διαχείριση στις μεταβατικές περιόδους της ζωής.

Η εφηβεία είναι μια περίοδος σημαντικών αλλαγών και προκλήσεων και έτσι η θεραπευτική υποστήριξη μπορεί να βοηθήσει τον έφηβο να εκφράσει σκέψεις και συναισθήματα, να ενισχύσει την αυτοπεποίθησή του και να διαχειριστεί τις δυσκολίες της καθημερινότητας. Επιπλέον παρέχει συμβουλευτική υποστήριξη, μια βραχυπρόθεσμη υποστήριξη για συγκεκριμένες δυσκολίες ή αποφάσεις ζωής, με στόχο την κατανόηση και την εύρεση τρόπων διαχείρισης.
