Η επιθυμία της να βοηθήσει ουσιαστικά άλλους ανθρώπους να ζήσουν μια πιο ολοκληρωμένη και ευτυχισμένη ζωή την οδήγησε να σπουδάσει Ψυχολογία. Ολοκλήρωσε τις προπτυχιακές σπουδές Ψυχολογίας στο Εθνικό και Καποδιστριακό Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών και κατέχει άδεια ασκήσεως επαγγέλματος ψυχολόγου. Στη συνέχεια, έζησε 3 χρόνια στην Αμερική, όπου ολοκλήρωσε το τριετές μεταπτυχιακό της στη Συμβουλευτική Ψυχολογία στο University of Illinois, όπου διδάχτηκε από κορυφαίους ψυχολόγους στον κόσμο. Επίσης, είναι Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια, εκπαιδευόμενη στη Συστημική Υπαρξιακή ψυχοθεραπευτική προσέγγιση στο Ινστιτούτο "Αντίστιξη", πιστοποιημένο από την Εθνική Εταιρεία Ψυχοθεραπείας (ΕΕΨΕ) και την Ευρωπαϊκή Εταιρεία Ψυχοθεραπείας (EFTA). Κατά τη διάρκεια των προπτυχιακών και μεταπτυχιακών της σπουδών είχε την ευκαιρία να αποκτήσει πλούσια κλινική εμπειρία τόσο σε δημόσια, όσο και σε ιδιωτικά κέντρα Συμβουλευτικής και Ψυχοθεραπείας, όπως η Εταιρεία Κοινωνικής Ψυχιατρικής Παναγιώτης Σακελλαρόπουλος, το Κέντρο Συμβουλευτικής φοιτητών του Πανεπιστημίου του Illinois και το Κέντρο Συμβουλευτικής και ψυχοθεραπείας Evergreen στο Illinois.⁠ Παράλληλα, έχει κάνει ατομική ψυχοθεραπεία πολλά χρόνια ως θεραπευόμενη. Προσφέρει ατομικές συνεδρίες Συμβουλευτικής και Ψυχοθεραπείας. Στόχος της είναι μέσω αυτών των συνεδριών να δημιουργήσει με τον θεραπευόμενο μια ασφαλή θεραπευτική σχέση που θα δώσει την ευκαιρία να ο τελευταίος να εμβαθύνει την αυτογνωσία του.⁠ Δεν έχει όλες τις απαντήσεις για τα ζητήματα που σας απασχολούν. Είναι όμως εδώ για να σταθεί συνοδοιπόρος δίπλα σας και να σας βοηθήσει να ανακαλύψετε μέσα σας τις δικές σας απαντήσεις και να ζήσετε μια ζωή με περισσότερο νόημα.

Κάνω ψυχοθεραπεία με την κυρία Ζαρκάδα πάνω από μισό χρόνο, επί εβδομαδιαίας βάσεως. Πρόκειται για μια επαγγελματία η οποία αντιμετωπίζει τον θεραπευόμενο με ειλικρινές ενδιαφέρον, κατανόηση και θέτοντας καίρια ερωτήματα την σωστή στιγμή. Την ξεχώρισα μεταξύ άλλων θεραπευτών τους οποίους δοκίμασα χάρη στην σοβαρότητα με την οποία αντιμετώπισε από την πρώτη στιγμή τα αιτήματα και τις ανησυχίες μου, χωρίς να σπεύδει να εξάγει γρήγορα συμπεράσματα. Την ευχαριστώ πολύ!

Η Κα Ζαρκάδα πρόκειται για μια πολύ αξιόλογη ψυχοθεραπεύτρια της οποίας το επιστημονικό υπόβαθρο μπορεί να διαφανεί από την πρώτη κιόλας συνεδρία. Σέβεται τον άνθρωπο και προσωπικά με βοήθησε να διαχειριστώ πολύ αποτελεσματικά την δυσκολία για την οποία την επισκέφθηκα. Αν κάποιος ψάχνει μια θεραπεύτρια που να συνδυάζει επιστημονικό υπόβαθρο και ανθρωπιά η Σιμόνη είναι η καλύτερη επιλογή.

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.
