Είναι πτυχιούχος του τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Πανεπιστημίου Κρήτης και κάτοχος του μεταπτυχιακού τίτλου "Συνθετική Ψυχοθεραπεία και Συμβουλευτική" από το Mediterranean College, παραρτήματος του αγγλικού Πανεπιστημίου του Derby. Το συνθετικό μοντέλο που εξασκεί αποτελεί συνδυασμό γνωσιακής - συμπεριφοριστικής, προσωποκεντρικής και ψυχαναλυτικής (με έμφαση στη θεωρία του δεσμού) προσέγγισης. Από το 2024 παρακολουθεί και το (4ετές) επιμορφωτικό σεμινάριο του Πανεπιστημίου Κρήτης, στη Γνωσιακή-Συμπεριφοριστική Θεραπεία.

Έχει πραγματοποιήσει την πρακτική του άσκηση σε διάφορες δομές. Αρχικά στην Ψυχιατρική Κλινική "Άγιος Χαράλαμπος" σε προπτυχιακό επίπεδο, στη συνέχεια στο Γενικό Νοσοκομείο Ηρακλείου "Βενιζέλειο - Πανάνειο", στο Κέντρο Κοινότητας Ηρακλείου, στο Νοσοκομείο ΜΗΤΕΡΑ της Αθήνας και στο 2ο & 5ο Δημοτικό Σχολείο Νέας Αλικαρνασσού, στα πλαίσια του μεταπτυχιακού τίτλου σπουδών. Επίσης, κατείχε και την ιδιότητα του Ψυχολόγου κατά την 9μηνη στρατιωτική του θητεία, συμμετέχοντας σε όλες τις σχετικές δράσεις και υποχρεώσεις.

Αναλαμβάνει άτομα άνω των 16 ετών και παρέχει ψυχοθεραπευτικές συνεδρίες, είτε διά ζώσης, είτε online. Η πρώτη συνεδρία γνωριμίας παρέχεται δωρεάν, σαν μια ευκαιρία για τον ενδιαφερόμενο να γνωρίσει τη διαδικασία της ψυχοθεραπείας (καθώς πολλοί δεν έχουν ξανακάνει), αλλά και τον επαγγελματία.

Ο ψυχολογος ήταν αναλυτικός και φιλόξενος. Μου εξήγησε τη διαδικασία που ακολουθεί και τους κανόνες του ιατρείου και άκουσε με προσοχή αυτά που είχα εγώ να πω.

Answers to patient questions

  • Panic attacks

    Hello I had yesterday a panic attack and today another one after eating , maybe is my digestion problem or maybe I need to see an orl ( because I can’t breath properly for 15 min ) what I should do please ?

    • Good evening. In such cases, the first thing one has to do is visit a doctor and get themselves examined, to exclude the possibility of an organic problem. If that is not the case, then the difficulty can be attributed to psychological factors and would thus be good to seek help from a psychologist-psychotherapist.

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. Role-playing to better prepare for potentially problematic interactions with others. You become your own self-therapist.

How it could benefit you

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
mental health

What it is

It is a form of psychotherapy that teaches a person to identify negative thought patterns and change them. DBT reinforces the acceptance that all your thoughts are valid, as they are part of your life experiences and who you are. The person acts by doing the best they can for the moment. It is used for people with suicidal behavior, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorder, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety.

Approach

DBT focuses on acceptance and change. It helps the person to get to know themselves better, to think about why they do what they do, without judgment. Replacing a negative behavior or habit with ones that can improve the quality of life. Dialectic is the idea that two different things can be true at the same time. At the same time as accepting yourself exactly as you are, comes the recognition of your effort to change.

How it could benefit you

It helps you make positive changes in the way you act. It identifies your negative thought patterns and changes them, helping to make positive changes in the way you act. Teaches you ways to manage intense emotions and stressful thoughts when they occur.

Humanistic psychotherapy
mental health

What it is

Humanistic therapy is a form of psychotherapy in which self-awareness and self-acceptance are considered the keys to personal growth. It emphasizes creativity, collaboration and interaction between the individual and the therapist, using techniques such as role-play.

Approach

Each person is a combination of mind, emotions, body and soul with unique experiences and events. No single life event, personality trait or psychological diagnosis defines you.

How it could benefit you

It improves self-awareness and self-confidence, helps you understand how your past affects your present, how to deal effectively with stressful situations, improves human relationships and helps you better manage your emotions.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy
mental health

What it is

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is talk therapy that aims to understand current thoughts and feelings through the behaviours shaped by past experiences and the past. Understanding the past can help you avoid repeating unhelpful patterns that have existed in it and facilitate your quality of life alongside relief from distressing symptoms. It is used in depression, anxiety, interpersonal problems, addictions, trauma, eating disorders, personality disorder.

Approach

Psychodynamic psychotherapy provides a space to explore and understand how unhelpful patterns from the past may be influencing our current difficulties. Defence mechanisms are explored and how our feelings and behaviours in the present are shaped by our past experiences.

How it could benefit you

It helps people to live a healthier life. There may be things in a person's unconscious that they are not aware of that cause them pain or keep them stuck in the past. Identifying these and understanding them can lead you to move forward.

Systemic psychotherapy
mental health

What it is

Systemic psychotherapy focuses on the interactions and relationships between the group to help them deal with any problems and move forward. It gives all group members the opportunity to explore their feelings and say what they think in a safe, non-judgmental environment. It is applicable to family conflict/problems, family dynamics, child and adolescent behaviour problems, addictions, anger management, mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders.

Approach

Therapy seeks to identify deep-rooted patterns within the individual's relationships and with group members. The process helps to uncover the ways in which members communicate and behave within a system, based on beliefs about their respective roles. Circular questions, narrative techniques, reframing and restructuring are used.

How it could benefit you

It helps to understand and improve the dynamics within the family and relationships. Changes dysfunctional patterns of communication and behaviour in the system, enhances empathy, helps build stronger relationships and pushes the team to overcome their problems.
