Ονομάζομαι Χαρά Ντούλια και είμαι πιστοποιημένη Σύμβουλος Ψυχικής Υγείας, σύμφωνα με τις προδιαγραφές της Ελληνικής Εταιρείας Συμβουλευτικής. Είμαι κάτοχος του Diploma in Integrative Counselling από την COSCA (Counselling & Psychotherapy in Scotland) και τακτικό μέλος της Ελληνικής Εταιρείας Συμβουλευτικής. Είμαι απόφοιτος Φαρμακευτικής Σχολής και εργάστηκα ως φαρμακοποιός για αρκετά χρόνια. Στη συνέχεια, στράφηκα στον χώρο της Ψυχολογίας και συνεχίζω τις σπουδές μου στο Marconi University στη Ρώμη, όπου είμαι τελειόφοιτη στο τμήμα Ψυχολογίας. Ως μέρος της συνεχούς επαγγελματικής και προσωπικής μου εξέλιξης, παρακολουθώ εκπαιδευτικά σεμινάρια και επιμορφωτικά προγράμματα, ενώ παράλληλα συνεχίζω την προσωπική μου θεραπευτική διεργασία και επαγγελματική εποπτεία.

Διατηρώ ιδιωτικό γραφείο στην Αθήνα, όπου πραγματοποιώ ατομικές συνεδρίες συμβουλευτικής καθώς και συνεδρίες ζεύγους. Παρέχω συμβουλευτική υποστήριξη και σε LGBTQI+ άτομα, με στόχο να προσεγγίσουν τον εαυτό τους με ελευθερία, αποδοχή και ασφάλεια. Παράλληλα, είμαι μέρος ενός δικτύου συνεργασίας ψυχιάτρων και άλλων επαγγελματιών ψυχικής υγείας, με σκοπό τη συνολική υποστήριξη της πορείας του κάθε ανθρώπου, όταν αυτό κρίνεται απαραίτητο. Οι συνεδρίες πραγματοποιούνται τόσο δια ζώσης όσο και διαδικτυακά, ανάλογα με τις ανάγκες και τη διαθεσιμότητα του κάθε ατόμου. 

Το ενδιαφέρον μου για την ψυχική υγεία, σε συνδυασμό με την προσωπική μου εμπειρία, με οδήγησαν να αφοσιωθώ στην Ψυχολογία αρχικά ως άνθρωπος -μέσα από τη δική μου πορεία αυτογνωσίας- και στη συνέχεια ως επαγγελματίας. Πιστεύω ακράδαντα ότι κάθε άνθρωπος έχει τη δυνατότητα να κατανοήσει τον εαυτό του και να εξελιχθεί, όταν βρεθεί σε ένα περιβάλλον ασφάλειας και αποδοχής.

Ως σύμβουλος ψυχικής υγείας, ακολουθώ τη συνθετική προσέγγιση, η οποία ενσωματώνει στοιχεία από διαφορετικά μοντέλα, όπως η προσωποκεντρική, η γνωσιακή-συμπεριφορική, η ψυχοδυναμική, η Gestalt κ.α. Η προσέγγιση αυτή επιτρέπει στη διαδικασία να παραμένει ευέλικτη και προσαρμοσμένη στις ανάγκες του κάθε ανθρώπου, αναγνωρίζοντας τη μοναδικότητά του, πέρα από τους περιορισμούς ενός και μόνο θεωρητικού πλαισίου. Αποτελεί βαθιά μου πεποίθηση ότι όλοι οι άνθρωποι είναι εκ φύσεως καλοί και άξιοι εμπιστοσύνης και πως ο καθένας μπορεί να αλλάξει, εάν το επιθυμεί. Όλοι έχουν τη δυνατότητα να κατανοήσουν τον εαυτό τους, να αλλάξουν την εικόνα τους και τη συμπεριφορά τους. Πιστεύω στην ικανότητα της αυτοθεραπείας και γι΄ αυτό ο ρόλος μου είναι να βοηθήσω το άτομο να βρει τη σοφία που βρίσκεται μέσα του, στο δικό του χρόνο και με το δικό του τρόπο.

Μία συνεδρία, είναι πάντα μία εμπειρία ανάμεσα στο θεραπευτή και το θεραπευόμενο. Είναι μια συνάντηση δύο ανθρώπων, που συνειδητά αποφασίζουν να συνεργαστούν. Μέσα σε ένα ασφαλές περιβάλλον, δίνω όσο χρόνο χρειάζεται για να μπορέσει ο κάθε άνθρωπος να δει και να ακούσει τον εαυτό του ακριβώς όπως είναι, δημιουργώντας χώρο και πλήρη αποδοχή για όλα τα συναισθήματα, τις σκέψεις και φυσικά τη σιωπή. Στόχος είναι να χτιστεί μια θεραπευτική σχέση, που θα βασίζεται στην ειλικρίνεια, το σεβασμό, την εμπιστοσύνη και την κατανόηση, καθότι η σχέση καθεαυτή αποτελεί από μόνη της θεραπεία και είναι ο πιο σημαντικός παράγοντας για την ανάπτυξη και την αλλαγή.

Δεσμεύομαι να είμαι ξεναγός και συνοδοιπόρος σε αυτό το ταξίδι της αυτογνωσίας, της συνειδητότητας, της ελευθερίας, στο ταξίδι στην ύπαρξη.
