Why she is suitable for you

Η Πουρνάρα Μαρία είναι Ψυχολόγος - Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια και διατηρεί το ιδιωτικό της γραφείο στα όρια των περιοχών Αμπελόκηποι-Ψυχικό, πλησίον της στάσης μετρό Κατεχάκη. Παράλληλα, εργάζεται ψυχοθεραπευτικά σε πλαίσια ψυχικής υγείας με παιδιά, εφήβους και γονείς. Είναι απόφοιτος του τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης. Εκπαιδεύτηκε στο εκπαιδευτικό και θεραπευτικό Ινστιτούτο Αντίστιξη, όπου ολοκλήρωσε και την προσωπική της θεραπεία. Η εργασία της απευθύνεται σε εφήβους και ενήλικες (άτομα, ζευγάρια, γονείς, οικογένειες) που επιθυμούν να επεξεργαστούν τις δυσκολίες, οι οποίες εμφανίζονται με τη μορφή διαφόρων συμπτωμάτων. Πρόκειται για απαιτητικές καταστάσεις που δημιουργούν εμπόδια, καλούν σε νέα ερωτήματα κι απαιτούν απαντήσεις. Με το προσωπικό αίτημα προς την ψυχοθεραπεία, θα αναδυθούν εργαλεία προς τη λειτουργικότητα, με πρωτεύον τη θεραπευτική σχέση. Ο θεραπευτής ως εκείνο το πρόσωπο που θα δημιουργήσει ένα νέο κλίμα με εμπιστοσύνη, μια νέα προοπτική με έμπνευση προς τη ζωή, θα παρέχει λειτουργικά εργαλεία προς αξιοποίηση από τον θεραπευόμενο, με γνώμονα την απόδοση προσωπικού νοήματος και την αυτογνωσία. Τελικά, ο άνθρωπος μέσα στο συνεχές ταξίδι της ζωής, έχει να πιστέψει ότι δεν δικαιούται απλώς να μην δυσκολεύεται αλλά με επιθυμία, υπερβαίνοντας τα σκοτάδια του, να ζει με χαρά και πληρότητα.

Η κα Πουρνάρα φάνηκε από την πρώτη στιγμή της συνάντησης μας μία εξαίρετη επαγγελματίας με γνήσιο ενδιαφέρον για τον άνθρωπο που έχει απέναντι της. Η προσέγγιση της δημιουργεί ένα κλίμα οικειότητας, μέσα στο οποίο κάποιος αισθάνεται εμπιστοσύνη και ασφάλεια να μοιραστεί τις σκέψεις και τα συναισθήματα του.

Η κα Πουρνάρα είναι μια επαγγελματίας που φαίνεται ότι νοιάζεται πραγματικά για τον άνθρωπο που απευθύνεται σε εκείνη. Προσεγγίζει με σεβασμό, λιτότητα. Νιώθεις ότι έρχεται κοντά σου, σε καταλαβαίνει πραγματικά και σε στηρίζει, αναδεικνύοντας την πραγματική δυσκολία αλλά και την δύναμή σου.

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.

What it is

It is a form of psychotherapy that teaches a person to identify negative thought patterns and change them.

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.

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

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.
