Why he is suitable for you

 Ο Γιώργος Βαφειάδης είναι απόφοιτος του τμήματος Κοινωνικής Εργασίας του Δημοκριτείου Πανεπιστημίου Θράκης. Άσκησε το επάγγελμα του κοινωνικού λειτουργού για τρία χρόνια περίπου, εργαζόμενος στον Διεθνή Οργανισμό Μετανάστευσης. Εκεί απέκτησε σημαντική κλινική εμπειρία όντας υπεύθυνος ευάλωτων ομάδων (ψυχιατρικά περιστατικά κυρίως).  Στη συνέχεια ολοκλήρωσε το τριετές μεταπτυχιακό πρόγραμμα στο πανεπιστήμιο του ανατολικού Λονδίνου (UEL) με θέμα την συμβουλευτική ψυχολογία και τη συνθετική ψυχοθεραπεία. Εκεί ήρθε σε επαφή με διάφορα ψυχοθεραπευτικά μοντέλα (γνωστική συμπεριφορική, προσωποκεντρική, ψυχανάλυση, συστημική κ.α.) πάνω στα οποία εκπαιδεύτηκε να κάνει σύνθεση, με στόχο την ολιστική αντιμετώπιση του εκάστοτε ζητήματος. Το πρόγραμμα περιελάμβανε επίσης εκατόν πενήντα ώρες πρακτικής άσκησης ατομικής ψυχοθεραπείας με περιστατικά εκτός ιδρύματος υπό την επίβλεψη επόπτη καθηγητή. Ταυτόχρονα με το μεταπτυχιακό ξεκίνησε και την πενταετή εκπαίδευσή του στην ψυχανάλυση, στην Ελληνική Εταιρεία Αναλυτικής Ομαδικής και Οικογενειακής Ψυχοθεραπείας γνωστή και ως εταιρεία του Ματθαίου Γιωσαφάτ. Η εκπαίδευση περιλαμβάνει πέντε χρόνια θεωρητικής εκπαίδευσης με θέμα την ψυχανάλυση, τις αντικειμενότροπες σχέσεις, την ομαδική αναλυτική θεραπεία και τη θεραπεία ζεύγους και οικογένειας με πινελιές και της συστημικής προσέγγισης. Ένα μοντέλο το οποίο συνέθεσε ο ίδιος ο Ματθαίος Γιωσαφάτ και έχει προσαρμόσει στον ελληνικό τρόπο ζωής. Εκτός από το θεωρητικό κομμάτι ο εκπαιδευόμενος υποβάλλεται ταυτόχρονα σε πενταετή ψυχοθεραπεία με καθηγητή αναλυτή της εταιρείας, τριετή εποπτεία όπου φέρει τα δικά του περιστατικά υπό την εποπτεία καθηγητή επόπτη της εταιρείας και τριακόσιες ώρες κλινικής εμπειρίας σε ψυχιατρική κλινική. Έχει παρακολουθήσει πλήθος ετήσιων ή πολύωρων σεμιναρίων με θέματα την ψυχοπαθολογία, τη γονεικότητα, τις ανθρώπινες σχέσεις, τη διαχείριση του στρες κ.α. ενώ ολοκληρώνει και τις προπτυχιακές του σπουδές στην ψυχολογία στο Oxford Brooks Univercity.

Αξιόλογος επιστήμονας, με γνώσεις και ειλικρινή διάθεση να βοηθήσει. Εμπνέει εμπιστοσύνη και μπορεί να γίνει εύκολα κατανοητός, καθώς εξηγεί με απλό τρόπο αλλά παράλληλα εμπεριστατωμένο.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
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.

How it could benefit you

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
mental health

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

It helps you make positive changes in the way you act. It identifies your negative thought patterns and changes them, helping to make positive changes in the way you act. Teaches you ways to manage intense emotions and stressful thoughts when they occur.

Humanistic psychotherapy
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

Systemic psychotherapy focuses on the interactions and relationships between the group to help them deal with any problems and move forward. It gives all group members the opportunity to explore their feelings and say what they think in a safe, non-judgmental environment. 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.
