Εκπαιδεύτηκε στην Κλινική Ψυχοπαθολογία, στη Συνθετική Ψυχοθεραπεία, στην Ομαδική Αναλυτική Ψυχοθεραπεία, στην Ατομική και Οικογενειακή Συστημική Αναπαράσταση, στην Κλινική Ύπνωση, Gestalt Therapy, στο Body Mirror System και στο Theta Healing Level 1 &2.

Μας είπε: Έπειτα από χρόνια εμπειρίας στο χώρο της ψυχικής υγείας, έμαθε πως αυτό που χρειάζεται κάθε άνθρωπος είναι να τον κοιτάζεις στα μάτια και να νιώθεις τη βαθύτερη ανάγκη του. Για το λόγο αυτό δημιούργησε και το ΚΕ.ΘΕ.ΣΥ. Αυτήν την ανάγκη έχει στόχο να καλύψει εκείνη και οι συνεργάτες της, αγκαλιάζοντας τον άνθρωπο με αγάπη και κατανόηση και κοιτάζοντας το πρόβλημά του σα να είναι δικό τους. Βασικά εργαλεία σε αυτή την προσπάθεια αποτελούν η Ανασυνδυασμένη Εκλεκτική Συμβουλευτική, αλλά και η μέθοδος "Όταν συνάντησα Εμένα!", μέσω της οποίας μπορεί κάποιος να δουλέψει και να λύσει θέματα αυτοπεποίθησης. Το ΚΕ.ΘΕ.ΣΥ ξεκίνησε να λειτουργεί το 2001 με κύριο στόχο, την προαγωγή της Ψυχικής Υγείας, παιδιών, εφήβων και ενηλίκων, μέσω Συμβουλευτικής Αγωγής - Αυτογνωσίας και Εκπαιδευτικών Σεμιναρίων. Η Δημιουργός του Κέντρου, Ανδριάννα Γεροντή, δεν έπαψε στιγμή όλα αυτά τα χρόνια να ενδιαφέρεται για την ορθότερη λειτουργία του Κέντρου και την καλύτερη δυνατή προσφορά στους ανθρώπους. Σαν αποτέλεσμα όλης αυτής της προσπάθειας, ένας αρκετά μεγάλος αριθμός παιδιών και ενηλίκων, έχουν μάθει να αξιοποιούν τις δυνατότητές τους, ενισχύοντας την αυτοπεποίθησή τους και αντιμετωπίζοντας επιτυχώς τις δυσκολίες της καθημερινότητας τους. Το Κέντρο στελεχώνεται από μια έμπειρη ομάδα ειδικών: Ψυχολόγων, Παιδοψυχολόγων, Λογοπαιδικών, Εργοθεραπευτών, Διατροφολόγων, οι οποίοι επιλέχθηκαν με κριτήρια όχι μόνο βάση της εμπειρίας και των ικανοτήτων τους, αλλά και ανθρωπιάς, αγάπης και ευαισθητοποίησης προς τον συνάνθρωπο.

Η Σοφία Διαμαντή είναι Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας με Συνθετική – Συστημική ψυχοθεραπευτική προσέγγιση και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στο κέντρο της Θεσσαλονίκης. Έχει ολοκληρώσει τριετή εκπαίδευση στη Συμβουλευτική και την Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Κέντρο Εφαρμοσμένης Συμβουλευτικής και Ψυχοθεραπείας (ΚΕΨΥΣΗ), καθώς και το μονοετές πρόγραμμα Βιοθυμικής Κλινικής Ύπνωσης στο ίδιο κέντρο. Επιπλέον, έχει εκπαιδευτεί στη Συμβουλευτική Ζεύγους στο Mediterranean College. Η ψυχοθεραπευτική της ταυτότητα έχει διαμορφωθεί μέσα από την ολοκλήρωση της εκπαίδευσής της στη Συνθετική – Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Ινστιτούτο Συνθετικής Συστημικής Ψυχοθεραπείας Θεσσαλονίκης ( Κε.Σ.Συ.Θ. ), όπου συνεχίζει την εκπαίδευσή της στη Συμβουλευτική Παιδιών. Παράλληλα, παρακολουθεί διαρκώς σεμινάρια και εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα στον χώρο της ψυχολογίας, με στόχο τη συνεχή επαγγελματική και προσωπική εξέλιξη. Στην πρακτική της χρησιμοποιεί τεχνικές κυρίως από τη συστημική προσέγγιση, εμπλουτισμένες με στοιχεία από άλλες ψυχοθεραπευτικές κατευθύνσεις, όπως η Γνωσιακή – Συμπεριφορική (CBT) και η υπαρξιακή προσέγγιση. Εργάζεται με συνθετικό και ολιστικό τρόπο, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη το άτομο στο σύνολό του – τις σχέσεις, το οικογενειακό και κοινωνικό πλαίσιο, τα συναισθήματα, τις σκέψεις και το σώμα. Μέσα από τη θεραπευτική διαδικασία, υποστηρίζει τα άτομα στην αναγνώριση επαναλαμβανόμενων μοτίβων σκέψης, συναισθήματος και συμπεριφοράς, ενισχύοντας την επίγνωση και τη δυνατότητα επιλογής νέων, πιο λειτουργικών τρόπων σύνδεσης με τον εαυτό και τους άλλους. Στο ιδιωτικό της γραφείο παρέχει ατομικές συνεδρίες, οικογενειακές συνεδρίες, συμβουλευτική ζεύγους, κλινική ύπνωση καθώς και ομαδικές θεραπείες και βιωματικά εργαστήρια, δημιουργώντας ένα ασφαλές και υποστηρικτικό πλαίσιο προσωπικής εξερεύνησης και αλλαγής. Η φιλοσοφία της βασίζεται στη βαθιά πίστη της στον άνθρωπο και στην έμφυτη ικανότητά του για αυτορρύθμιση και αυτοΐαση. Για τη Σοφία Διαμαντή, η ψυχοθεραπεία είναι ένα κοινό ταξίδι, ένα ταξίδι που μπορεί να περιλαμβάνει απαιτητικά μονοπάτια, αλλά στο τέλος της διαδρομής ο άνθρωπος έχει προσφέρει στον εαυτό του το μεγαλύτερο δώρο: την ουσιαστική επαφή με τον εαυτό του και τη δυνατότητα μιας πιο αυθεντικής ζωής.

Dimitris Georgantas is a Mental Health Counselor and Psychotherapist who conducts online sessions. He studied Counseling Psychology at Mediterranean College in Thessaloniki in the Counseling and Psychology department, earning an HND degree from the British University, University of Derby. Simultaneously, he has attended numerous seminars such as the "Training in Psychology, Counseling, and Life Coaching" at the University of the Aegean, as well as the "Effective Parenting" training by Gordon Hellas. Currently, he is training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at the Recognized Center "Interdisciplinary & Research Psychosocial Support for Children and Adults" (D.I.K.E.Ps.Y). In recent years, he has maintained a private Counseling and Psychotherapy Center in the center of Komotini, working both online and in person. He believes that Psychodynamic Psychotherapy helps individuals to better understand themselves, recognize deeper feelings and thoughts, and improve the way they relate to others. A crucial role in this process is played by the real and authentic relationship experienced between the Psychotherapist and the Client. This relationship becomes an important tool, where patterns and emotions that emerge within the therapeutic relationship facilitate the understanding of the Client’s relationships outside therapy. Thus, over time, the Client can express themselves freely, better understand themselves, process difficult emotions, and ultimately live more freely, with greater self-awareness and authenticity in their relationships.

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.

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

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.

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 is an approach about how the individual acts as part of a wider group or broader system of relationships: family, partner relationship, work, friendships, and social environment. This approach connects communication and interaction patterns with a problem or a difficulty that the individual may be experiencing.

Approach

Systemic psychotherapy identifies behavioral patterns within a persons’ relationships and in the way someone connects with others. It helps the individual understand themselves more effectively, along with their roles and communication style and supports them in developing more functional ways of thinking and communicating within their system.

How it could benefit you

It helps improve understanding of relationship and family dynamics. It can change dysfunctional communication and behavior patterns within the system, strengthen empathy, support the development of stronger relationships and help with managing conflicts and difficulties.
