Why he is suitable for you

Ο Μενέλαος Βουτσινάς είναι Σύμβουλος ψυχικής υγείας και εκπαιδευόμενος Συνθετικός Ψυχοθεραπευτής. Διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στην Αθήνα και  είναι εγγεγραμμένος στην Ελληνική Εταιρεία Συμβουλευτικής, όπως και στην αντίστοιχη Ευρωπαϊκή (E.A.C.). Το Συνθετικό μοντέλο στο οποίο εκπαιδεύεται εμπεριέχει τη Συστημική, την Υπαρξιακή και την Πολυπολιτισμική θεραπεία. Έχει εργαστεί εκτενώς με εξαρτημένο πληθυσμό, για σειρά ετών, σε κέντρο υποστήριξης εξαρτημένων, με θεραπευτικό μοντέλο βασισμένο στα 12 Βήματα των Ανώνυμων Αλκοολικών, όπου κάλυπτε ανάγκες ατομικής και ομαδικής συμβουλευτικής. Απέκτησε πληθώρα εμπειρίας μέσα και από άλλες συνεργασίες με θεραπευτικά κέντρα έχοντας εκτός από θεραπευτικά και διοικητικά καθήκοντα. Επίσης, από τον εκτεταμένο αριθμό σεμιναρίων στα οποία παίρνει μέρος ανά τα χρόνια (CBT, Child CBT, 18 Άνω, Yalom’s Group Therapy Model, Ψυχοπαθολογία, Εκπαίδευση Ενηλίκων, Αναπτυξιακή και Κοινωνική Ψυχολογία, Hearing Voices Network). Ο εθισμός πέρα από την ξεκάθαρη μορφή των ουσιών ή του αλκοόλ, μπορεί να πάρει πολλές μορφές (συνεξάρτηση, internet, porn, τροφή ) στις ζωές όλων μας, σε διαφορετικά διαστήματα. Εκτός από τον εθισμό, εργάζεται με αγχώδεις διαταραχές, οριακή διαταραχή, φοβίες, πένθος, διαχείριση θυμού, συμβουλευτική ζεύγους και οικογένειας, καθώς και συμβουλευτική εξαρτήσεων στην οικογένεια και δόμηση πλάνου παρέμβασης. Μέσα από τα χρόνια που απασχολείται στην ψυχική υγεία θεωρεί ξεκάθαρο ότι χρειάζεται να υπάρχει αγάπη προς τις ατελείς και πονεμένες ανθρώπινες πλευρές αλλά και να καλλιεργείται η πίστη ότι η αλλαγή μέσω της ΣΥΝ-ΠΡΑΞΗΣ είναι εφικτή. Επιπρόσθετα, η διαδρομή του στην προσωπική του θεραπεία, το θάρρος, η κατάθεσης ψυχής, η προοδευτικά αυξανόμενη ειλικρίνεια και η αποεπένδυση του μίγματος ενοχών και ντροπής, λειτούργησε σαν να έχει αφαιρεθεί βάρος από την ψυχή του και εν δυνάμει, αυτό μπορεί να προσφερθεί σε όποιον/α επιθυμεί να υπάρξει και να δουλέψει μέσα στο θεραπευτικό δωμάτιο. Τέλος, παρέχει ατομικές συνεδρίες συμβουλευτικής και ψυχοθεραπείας, βασισμένες στο συνθετικό μοντέλο που απαντούν σε θεραπευτικά αιτήματα με εκδηλώσεις στο άγχος, τις φοβίες, τις κρίσεις πανικού, την κατάθλιψη, το πένθος και την απώλεια, υπαρξιακά δεδομένα, δυσλειτουργικές πεποιθήσεις,  χαμηλή αντίληψη εαυτού και αυτοεικόνας, χρήση ή κατάχρηση ουσιών, συνεξάρτηση, μεταβολές ζωής και αντίσταση στην αλλαγή, διαταραχές άγχους και  προσωπικότητας (σε συνεργασία με τον/την εκάστοτε ψυχίατρο από τον/την οποίο/α παρακολουθείται ο θεραπευόμενος).

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.

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.

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.
