Psychotherapists in Attica

Varinou Eirini - Soul Rythm is a Psychologist - Psychotherapist - Expressive Art Therapist who works online with clients in Greece and abroad. She graduated with honors from the Department of Psychology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and has completed postgraduate studies in Dynamics, Communication, and the roles of individuals within groups at the University of Essex. Her passion for the Arts led her to specialize in Psychotherapy through Expressive Arts, a model developed by Avi Goren-Bar that integrates fundamental psychotherapeutic approaches with the Arts, aiming to understand the human psyche and harmonize the various aspects of the individual. This approach treats the human psyche holistically, allowing emotions to be better contained, as the arts complement what language and cognition often fail to reach.

Additionally, her training is consistently enriched with psychotherapeutic methods, including a three-year training in Psychodrama, a four-year participation in monthly seminars on Relational & Group Psychotherapy, and numerous workshops in the Internal Family Systems method, Authentic Movement, and body-inclusive psychotherapy approaches.

Throughout her career, she has provided services to numerous organizations and hospitals and is a founding member of the Association of Greek Expressive Therapists & Jungian Coaches. She conducts individual sessions with adults, couples, adolescents, and children who, for various reasons, prefer and choose online support. Finally, through continuous supervision and active participation in international and Greek conferences and study trips, she expands her knowledge and skills. More information about her approach can be found on her website soulrythm.com.
