Ως πολύτιμα εφόδια διαθέτει τις συστηματικές σπουδές της σε Πανεπιστήμια της Αγγλίας και των Η.Π.Α., την εμπειρία που αποκόμισε από την μακροχρόνια εργασία της στο πεδίο, μα πάνω απ’ όλα τη συνέπεια και την αδιαπραγμάτευτη αγάπη της για το αντικείμενο. Γεννημένη το 1962 στην Αθήνα, απέκτησε Bachelor Degree στην Ψυχολογία ολοκληρώνοντας με επιτυχία τις σπουδές της στο Southeastern College της Πολιτείας Delaware των ΗΠΑ, ενώ μερικά χρόνια αργότερα της απονεμήθηκε από το University of East Anglia του Norwich Μεταπτυχιακός Τίτλος Σπουδών (Master) στην Προσωποκεντρική και Focusing Βιωματική Ψυχοθεραπεία.

Ταυτόχρονα, συμμετείχε σε δεκάδες Συνέδρια, Διεθνή Συμπόσια και Ημερίδες σε Ελλάδα και εξωτερικό. Ωστόσο, γνωρίζοντας πως κανένας τίτλος δεν μπορεί να υποκαταστήσει την γνήσια εμπειρία φρόντισε από νωρίς να υπηρετήσει την επιστήμη της στην πράξη, εργαζόμενη σε εθελοντική βάση επί 15 χρόνια (2005-2020) στο Ιατρείο Περιοχικής Αναισθησίας, Θεραπείας Πόνου και Παρηγορικής Αγωγής του Αρεταίειου Πανεπιστημιακού Νοσοκομείου Αθηνών, στον τομέα Συμβουλευτικής και Ψυχοθεραπείας.

Εκπαιδεύτηκε στην Ανασυνδιασμένη Εκλεκτική Συμβουλευτική ,συνεχίζει την εκπαίδευσή της στο London Metropolitan University και είναι πτυχιούχος στη Διοίκησης Επιχειρήσεων από το Πανεπιστήμιο Πειραιώς, με περισσότερα από σαράντα χρόνια εργασιακής εμπειρίας. Η Ανασυνδιασμένη Εκλεκτική Συμβουλευτική είναι μια σύγχρονη, ευέλικτη προσέγγιση που δεν περιορίζεται σε μία σχολή σκέψης. Συνδυάζει στοιχεία από διαφορετικά συμβουλευτικά και ψυχοθεραπευτικά μοντέλα, επιλέγοντας κάθε φορά ό,τι ταιριάζει καλύτερα στον άνθρωπο και στη φάση ζωής στην οποία βρίσκεται. Η διαδρομή της ειδικού δεν είναι μονοδιάστατη. Προέρχεται από τον χώρο της εργασίας, της ευθύνης και των απαιτητικών ρόλων ζωής. Έχει ζήσει τις πιέσεις, τις αλλαγές, τις απώλειες και τις μεταβάσεις που φέρνει ο χρόνος. Αυτή η εμπειρία είναι αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι του τρόπου που προσεγγίζει τον άνθρωπο. Πιστεύει ότι η κατανόηση δεν γεννιέται μόνο μέσα από τη γνώση, αλλά και μέσα από τη ζωή. Η απόφασή της να ασχοληθεί με τη συμβουλευτική ψυχικής υγείας δεν ήταν τυχαία. Ήταν αποτέλεσμα ωρίμανσης και βαθιάς ανάγκης να σταθεί δίπλα σε ανθρώπους που βρίσκονται σε φάσεις εσωτερικής κόπωσης, αναζήτησης ή επαναπροσδιορισμού. Στη δουλειά της, δίνει έμφαση στη σχέση και στον σεβασμό της προσωπικής διαδρομής του κάθε ανθρώπου. Δεν πιστεύει στις έτοιμες λύσεις ούτε στις γρήγορες απαντήσεις. Πιστεύει στη διαδικασία, στην παρουσία και στη σταδιακή κατανόηση. Είναι εδώ για όσους θέλουν να μιλήσουν ουσιαστικά. Για όσους έχουν ξανακάνει τον κύκλο και είναι έτοιμοι να τον διανύσουν με άλλον τρόπο.

Mr. Fanourakis supports his clients with dignity and respect for the uniqueness of each individual, while he himself engages in experiential and academic training with continuous supervision of all cases he undertakes in his practice. In the current era, as demands increase and daily life becomes increasingly complex, more and more individuals find themselves needing to explore deeper emotions and justify unconscious motives and behaviors that trouble them; in this effort, the professional therapist serves as a companion. The protective framework created with empathy and trust enables the client to cope with and become aware of their fears and anxieties. As a result, by speaking with a healthcare professional using combined therapeutic approaches, new representations are formed, granting the capacity to receive help and alleviate the psychological symptoms that trouble them, improving quality of life with new values and perspectives...

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.
