Η Χουρδάκη Μαρίζα είναι Ψυχολόγος - Ειδ. Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια με Πτυχίο (Bachelor) του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Πανεπιστημίου Τριέρ στη Γερμανία και Πτυχίο (Bachelor) με κατεύθυνση ψυχολογίας, του Τμήματος Φιλοσοφίας- Παιδαγωγικού και Ψυχολογίας, του Εθνικού Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών (ΕΚΠΑ). Κατέχει Μεταπτυχιακό Τίτλο Σπουδών (MS.c) στην «Κλινική Ψυχολογία» του Τμήματος Κοινωνικών Επιστημών και Συμπεριφοράς, του Πανεπιστημίου Erasmus, στο Ρότερνταμ της Ολλανδίας. Επιπλέον ειδικεύεται στη Συστημική - Οικογενειακή Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Ινστιτούτο Εκπαίδευσης και Έρευνας - Λόγω Ψυχής, σύμφωνα με το μοντέλο SANE (System Attachment Narrative Encephalon). Το συγκεκριμένο μοντέλο είναι ένα εμπλουτισμένο μοντέλο συστημικής ψυχοθεραπείας που ενσωματώνει στη θεραπευτική πρακτική στοιχεία από τη θεωρία του συναισθηματικού δεσμού, την αφηγηματική προσέγγιση και τα ευρήματα των νευροεπιστημών.

Απέκτησε πρακτική εμπειρία σε Κέντρα Ψυχικής Υγείας του Δήμου Πειραιά και Καισαριανής - Βύρωνα, όπου δούλεψε τόσο με εφήβους και οικογένειες όσο και με ενήλικες που βίωναν άγχος, κατάθλιψη, μειωμένη αυτοεκτίμηση, δυσκολίες στις σχέσεις, δυσκολίες σεξουαλικού προσανατολισμού και ταυτότητας.

Παράλληλα εργάστηκε ως ψυχολόγος στο Κέντρο Ημέρας Υποστήριξης Εργαζομένων Αθηνών, στο οποίο παρείχε ψυχολογική υποστήριξη σε εργαζομένους για ζητήματα όπως : το εργασιακό στρες, επαγγελματική εξουθένωση, κατάθλιψη, ενδυνάμωση και αυτογνωσία.

Έχει παρακολουθήσει πλήθος σεμιναρίων εστιασμένα στην ψυχοπαθολογία, στη συμβουλευτική και την ψυχοθεραπεία με ΛΟΑΤΚΙ+ άτομα και στην ψυχική υγεία ευρύτερα. Στο ιδιωτικό της γραφείο που διατηρεί στον Πειραιά (Φρεαττύδος 46), εργάζεται με ενήλικες, ζευγάρια, εφήβους και οικογένειες.

Πιστεύει ότι η αναζήτηση βοήθειας και ο δρόμος προς την αλλαγή είναι διαδικασίες με δυσκολίες και προκλήσεις, που αποτελούν όμως ένα πρώτο σπουδαίο βήμα προς ένα λυτρωτικό ταξίδι. Ο φόβος είναι ένα εύλογο συναίσθημα στην αρχή της θεραπείας, αλλά με τον κατάλληλο θεραπευτή, μέσα σε ένα ασφαλές πλαίσιο, μπορούν να φωτιστούν όλα τα σκοτεινά σημεία, να κατανοηθούν άγνωστες πλευρές του εαυτού μας και να δοκιμαστούν νέοι τρόποι σκέψης και συμπεριφοράς.

Η Βλαστού Ελένη είναι Ψυχολόγος και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στο Περιστέρι. Είναι πτυχιούχος του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Εθνικού και Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών και κάτοχος μεταπτυχιακού τίτλου σπουδών στην Προαγωγή και Αγωγή της Υγείας (Health Promotion) από την Ιατρική Σχολή του ίδιου Πανεπιστημίου.

Κλινικά ειδικεύεται στην Ψυχανάλυση Λακανικού Προσανατολισμού, ενώ διαθέτει πολυετή εμπειρία στη Συστημική Προσέγγιση και στη Συμβουλευτική. Η εικοσιδυάχρονη επαγγελματική της πορεία, που ξεκίνησε μέσα από την εθελοντική προσφορά και συνεχίστηκε στον ιδιωτικό και δημόσιο χώρο, έχει διαμορφώσει μια θεραπευτική στάση που βασίζεται στον σεβασμό της μοναδικότητας, της γνώσης και του λόγου κάθε ανθρώπου που την εμπιστεύεται.Στόχος της είναι να αποτελεί μια σταθερή και ασφαλή γέφυρα προς τη θεραπεία, την ανακούφιση, τη λύση και την αποδοχή, δημιουργώντας έναν χώρο όπου ο άνθρωπος μπορεί να εκφράσει ελεύθερα την προσωπική του αλήθεια. Πιστή στις αρχές της ψυχανάλυσης, θεωρεί ότι η θεραπευτική διαδικασία είναι ένας τόπος συνάντησης με τον εαυτό, όπου το αδύνατο μπορεί να γίνει δυνατό και η απελπισία να μετασχηματιστεί σε γνώση, δύναμη και εξέλιξη.Όπως χαρακτηριστικά ανέφερε ο Ζακ Λακάν, «Η ψυχανάλυση έχει σκοπό την εμφάνιση μιας αληθινής λέξης». Με αυτή τη φιλοσοφία προσεγγίζει κάθε θεραπευτική σχέση, προσφέροντας ένα ασφαλές, προστατευμένο και εμπιστευτικό πλαίσιο, μέσα στο οποίο ο κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να ανακαλύψει τη δική του διαδρομή προς την αλλαγή.

Dr Dimitrios Chionis is a Military Psychologist of the Hellenic Air Force, with a PhD in Psychology, Human Factors and Strategic Communication.

If you are looking for a psychologist online, this is not a generic counselling profile. You will meet a professional whose work has been shaped in high responsibility environments, where stress, pressure, decision making, communication and human performance are part of everyday reality.

In our sessions, we focus on what is difficult for you right now. This may be anxiety, stress, burnout, panic attacks, anger, sadness, fear, work pressure, relationship difficulties, problematic internet use, low self awareness, or the need for clearer personal direction. We do not begin with a label. We begin with you, your request, and the way your daily functioning is affected.

The work is practical, structured and human. The aim is to help you understand more clearly what is happening, how you react under pressure, and what small but meaningful steps you can take next. You are supported to regain clarity, emotional control, personal responsibility and a stronger sense of direction.

The special focus on Human Factors makes this work different. It looks at the connection between the person, the environment, pressure, decision making and behaviour. This is useful when you feel that the problem is not only inside you, but also in the system around you. Your work, your relationships, your responsibilities and your daily demands all matter.

The background in Strategic Communication is also important. It can help when your difficulty involves hard conversations, boundaries, conflict, professional relationships, leadership, personal image, or the need to express yourself clearly without losing your position.

The sessions may support you with anxiety management, stress regulation, burnout, communication skills, anger management, panic symptoms, self awareness, professional decision making, personal development and peak performance. The approach is direct, respectful and grounded in psychological science, without vague promises or ready made solutions.

This is not presented as a specific psychotherapy model that claims to fit everyone. The service focuses on psychological support, counselling, mentoring, coaching and the improvement of everyday functioning. The work is based on professional experience, scientific knowledge and respect for your personal request.

Confidentiality, clarity and responsibility are central to the process. Where more specialised care is needed, such as psychotherapy, psychiatric support, medical assessment, or multidisciplinary intervention, an appropriate referral or collaboration with another health professional may be recommended.

The goal is not to tell you to simply think positively. The goal is to help you see what is really going on, organise yourself more effectively and take the next steps with more awareness, stability and personal strength.
