Since 2007 she has attended numerous seminars, workshops, and scientific conferences on psychology and different approaches to psychotherapy.

During each and every session, Eleni manages to create a safe and calm atmosphere, listens attentively and analyses my thoughts by her careful and 'nail on the head' questioning. Even within a couple of sessions, I have gained major insights in my own thinking.

It is used for people with suicidal behavior, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorder, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety.

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.
