Her educational background continues with trainings and certifications in Clinical and Counselling Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (GMBPsS, Beck Institute & ΔΔΕΕΨΥ), Business Psychology and HR (MABP, CIPD).


What makes Ms. Varvitsioti special in her field, however, is that in addition to her studies and long-term training, she has worked for a number of years in international organisations and has significant practical experience when it comes to the problems of the individual originating from or related to work and the work environment.

Η κα. Βαρβιτσιώτη είναι μια εξαιρετική επιστήμονας και επαγγελματίας ψυχικής υγείας που γνωρίζει εις βάθος το αντικείμενο της! Ύστερα από μια ισχυρή Κρίση Πανικού που βίωσα,χωρίς να συνειδητοποιώ τι ακριβώς συνέβαινε, επικοινώνησα μαζί της γιατί μου ενέπνευσε εμπιστοσύνη, ασφάλεια και ηρεμια. Ανταποκρίθηκε άμεσα στο περιστατικό με ενσυναίσθηση, σεβασμό και κατανόηση. Είναι επεξηγηματική και σου δείχνει μέσω του διαλόγου το δρόμο για να κατανοήσεις περισσότερο τον εαυτό σου και την σχέση σου μαζί του σε όλους τους τομείς της ζωής σου.

Η Αθανασία είναι μια εξαιρετική ψυχολόγος, που αφουγκράζεται αυτά που έχεις να της πεις, σου εξηγεί με πολύ εύστοχες παρομοιάσεις τις έννοιες της συμπεριφορικής ψυχολογίας και σε καθοδηγεί για να βρεις μόνος σου τις απαντήσεις και τις λύσεις στα θέματα που αντιμετωπίζεις, δίνοντας σου πρακτικές και εύκολα εφαρμόσιμες τεχνικές και εργαλεία. Είναι ήρεμη, γλυκιά, ζεστή, μεθοδική και σε κάνει να νιώθεις πολύ άνετα από την πρώτη κιόλας συνεδρία. Την προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα καθώς έχω βοηθηθεί πάρα πολύ και μου έχει αναιρέσει όποιες προσωπικές αμφιβολίες είχα πριν ξεκινήσω ψυχοθεραπεία. Μάλιστα τον τελευταίο καιρό αντιμετωπίζω κρίσεις πανικού και με έχει βοηθήσει πολύ να ανταπαξέλθω σε αυτή τη δύσκολη δοκιμασία που περνάω καθώς είναι εξαιρετικά καταρτισμένη στο συγκεκριμένο θέμα όπως και σε πολλά άλλα!

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.

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

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.
