Παράλληλα, απέκτησε ουσιαστική εμπειρία στη διαχείριση των ανθρώπων, στη διαχείριση και επίλυση συγκρούσεων και προβλημάτων, στην αποτελεσματική επικοινωνία, στη στοχοθεσία και στην επίτευξη στόχων. Μέσα από αυτή την πολύτιμη εμπειρία ανέπτυξε βαθιά κατανόηση των ανθρώπινων σχέσεων και των διαφορετικών αναγκών και δυνατοτήτων κάθε ανθρώπου, διαμορφώνοντας την ακλόνητη πεποίθηση ότι κάθε άνθρωπος διαθέτει μέσα του τη δύναμη και τους εσωτερικούς πόρους να ξεπεράσει τις δυσκολίες, να εξελιχθεί και να πετύχει τους στόχους του. Όταν νιώσει ότι βρίσκεται σε ένα ασφαλές, υποστηρικτικό και χωρίς κριτική περιβάλλον, με την κατάλληλη προσέγγιση μπορεί να ανακαλύψει τις δυνατότητες του και να ανθίσει με τον δικό του μοναδικό τρόπο.

Αναγνωρίζοντας τη βαθιά ευθύνη του ρόλου της απέναντι στους ανθρώπους που την εμπιστεύονται, η κ. Κουρουκεχαγιά επενδύει αδιάκοπα στη συνεχή της εκπαίδευση. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, εκτός από τις σπουδές της στην Ψυχολογία στο London Metropolitan University, συνεχίζει να επιμορφώνεται διαρκώς, εμπλουτίζοντας τις γνώσεις και τις δεξιότητες της μέσα από νέες εκπαιδεύσεις και εξειδικεύσεις. Με γνώμονα την αυστηρή επαγγελματική δεοντολογία και την παροχή υπηρεσιών υψηλής ποιότητας, φροντίζει σταθερά για τη δική της ατομική και ομαδική θεραπεία, καθώς και για την κλινική της εποπτεία. Επιπροσθέτως, συμμετέχει ενεργά σε επαγγελματικούς φορείς, όπως η Ελληνική Εταιρεία Ανασυνδυασμένης Εκλεκτικής Συμβουλευτικής και ο Σύλλογος Συμβουλευτικής Coaching Mentoring Ελλάδας, παραμένοντας πλήρως ενημερωμένη για όλες τις σύγχρονες εξελίξεις στο πεδίο της συμβουλευτικής.
