Why she is suitable for you

Είμαι Κλινική Ψυχολόγος και διδάκτωρ Κλινικής Ψυχολογίας, κάτοχος Πτυχίου Ψυχολογίας (ΕΚΠΑ), Mεταπτυχιακού στην Κλινική Ψυχολογία (University College London) και Διδακτορικού στην Κλινική Ψυχολογία (University of Hertfordshire & NHS England) με κατάρτιση στη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική Θεραπεία (CBT) (συμπεριλαμβανομένου και τρίτου κύματος) και Συστημική/Αφηγηματική Θεραπεία (i.e., Narrative Exposure Therapy). Σε παρόντα χρόνο, εκπαιδεύομαι στις 'Βασικές Αρχές για την Συμβουλευτική και την Ψυχοθεραπεία με ΛΟΑΤΚΙ+ άτομα' στο ORLANDO LGBT+.

Η θεραπευτική μου προσέγγιση αντλεί συνδυαστικά τεχνικές από ψυχολογικά μοντέλα, με κύριο πρωταγωνιστή την Γνωσιακή-Συμπεριφοριστική και Συστιμική Θεραπεία για να προσφέρω εξατομικευμένη και επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένη φροντίδα. Στόχος μου είναι να προσφέρω ευαισθητοποιημένη και ενημερωμένη γύρω από το τραύμα ψυχολογική υποστήριξη, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τα ατομικά χαρακτηριστικά και τραυματικές εμπειρίες του καθενός. 

​Συμμετέχω ενεργά στην έρευνα εστιάζοντας στο τραύμα, τη μετανάστευση, τις ανισότητες στην ψυχική υγεία και την πρόληψη αυτοκτονίας με πολυάριθμες ακαδημαικές δημοσιεύσεις. Η έρευνητική δραστηριότητα ενισχύει τη θεραπευτική μου προσέγγιση, διασφαλίζοντας ότι οι πρακτικές μου βασίζονται στα πιο πρόσφατα δεδομένα του τομέα της ψυχοθεραπείας.

Relative Experience

Η κλινική μου εμπειρία προέρχεται από την επαγγελματική μου δράση σε δημόσιες και μη κυβερνητικές δομές στην Αγγλία και στην Ελλάδα από το 2015 ως σήμερα, προς όλο το ηλικιακό φάσμα. Έχω εργαστεί σε δημόσια νοσοκομεία παιδιών και εφήβων, αλλά και ενηλίκων (NHS England, Σισμανόγλειο, Αιγινήτειο), κέντρα ημέρας για άτομα με σοβαρές ψυχικές διαταραχές (ΕΠΑΨΥ Franco Basaglia, Samaritans, Listening Place) και δομές που υποστηρίζουν ευάλωτες κοινωνικές ομάδες, όπως θύματα βίας και εμπορίου λευκής σαρκός, πρόσφυγες και αιτούντες άσυλο (Helen Bamber Foundation). Έχω προσφέρει ψυχοθεραπεία και ψυχολογική υποστήριξη σε LGBTQ+, εθνοτικές, φυλετικές και θρησκευτικές μειονοτικές ομάδες και άλλες κοινωνικά περιθωριοποιημένες ομάδες, προσαρμόζοντας την προσέγγισή μου στις ιδιαίτερες ανάγκες και προκλήσεις που αντιμετωπίζουν στην σύγχρονη εποχή.

Relative Studies

Οι σπουδές μου περιλαμβάνουν μια πολυδιάστατη εκπαιδευτική πορεία στον τομέα της Κλινικής Ψυχολογίας. Απέκτησα το Πτυχίο Ψυχολογίας (BSc) από το Εθνικό και Καποδιστριακό Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών, όπου έλαβα μια ισχυρή θεωρητική βάση και εισήχθην στις βασικές επιστήμες της ψυχολογίας. Στη συνέχεια, ολοκλήρωσα το Μεταπτυχιακό Κλινικής Ψυχολογίας (MSc) στο University College London (UCL) στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο, ένα από τα κορυφαία πανεπιστήμια διεθνώς στον τομέα της ψυχολογίας. Η εξειδίκευση αυτή μου προσέφερε βαθύτερη κατανόηση της ψυχοπαθολογίας και ενίσχυσε τις κλινικές μου δεξιότητες στην αξιολόγηση και θεραπεία ψυχολογικών διαταραχών. Η ακαδημαϊκή και κλινική μου κατάρτιση ολοκληρώθηκε με την απόκτηση Διδακτορικού Κλινικής Ψυχολογίας (DClinPsy) από το University of Hertfordshire στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο. Στο πλαίσιο του διδακτορικού προγράμματος, εργαζόμουν κλινικά σε δημόσιες δομές της χώρας και διεξήγαγα τη διατριβή μου στα πλαίσια του προσφυγικού και την υποστήριξη προσφύγων ανδρών. Η πολυετής εκπαίδευση και πρακτική εμπειρία μου με έχουν εξοπλίσει με τις απαραίτητες δεξιότητες και γνώσεις για να παρέχω υψηλού επιπέδου υπηρεσίες ψυχολογικής φροντίδας και να συνεισφέρω στον τομέα της κλινικής έρευνας. Συνεχίζω την εκπαίδευση μου στην Ελλάδα μέσω του οργανισμού ORLANDO LGBT+ όσον αφορά την ευαίσθητη ψυχολογική υποστήριξη της ΛΟΑΤΚΙ+ κοινότητας.

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.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

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

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.

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

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.

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.
