Eria Chourdaki MSc is a Neuroscientist - Psychotherapist based in Exarchia. She is trained as a Gestalt psychotherapist. Her focus is on the individual aiming to create a safe environment to build an authentic relationship and alliance to work towards self-growth and strengthen.
Eria has lived in London for ten years where she studied in the Institute of Psychiatry Psychology and Neuroscience at King's College London. She gained an MSc in Applied Neuroscience, worked for UK Government and earned a student fellowship in Germany, in the Institute of Neurosciences and Medicine at Forschungszentrum Julich. Due to significant adverse family circumstances she returned to Athens and trained for four years as a Gestalt psychotherapist. She is currently working as a psychotherapist at her own private practice in Athens.
As a "survivor", she works with any type of addictive behaviour, trauma, shame, guilt and their connection and relation in the formation of Being, Personality and interaction with others. She sees as addiction not only the dependency from illicit substances; to her, addiction is part of daily life referring to habits, relationships, patterns that are repeated compulsively and excessively on a day to day basis.
However, Eria's work is not limited to the above as she works with populations within the autistic spectrum disorder, and a wide range of pathologies since she offers her services to solidarity and psychological support initiatives in Athens.
Eria works with adults (18+) from all backgrounds individually or in groups and offers face-to-face sessions or online.
Her hours are Monday to Friday, 9am - 6pm, as well as Wednesday and Thursday evenings (until 9pm).
