Psychologist – Systemic Psychotherapist
MSc in Applied Developmental Psychology
I am a psychologist, specialising in Systemic Psychotherapy. The systemic approach shapes the way I understand a person: not in isolation, but in continuous interaction with the people and environments that surround them: family, school, work, and their close circle. Because these are not merely the background of our lives – they affect us and we affect them.
My professional experience has been shaped through therapeutic work with adults, children, teenagers, parents, couples, and families. In therapy, I focus particularly on how the difficulties someone is experiencing are connected to their stage of life Difficulties that, most of the time, speak of needs and changes they are seeking.
I studied Psychology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and subsequently specialised in Applied Developmental Psychology, seeking to better understand how humans develop over time, from childhood to old age. I am deeply interested in life transitions, those that call upon us to redefine our relationship with ourselves and with others.
Following that, I trained in Systemic Therapy and Counselling, attending the four-year Training Programme at Ke.S.Me.Th. Through this training, I learned to see, process and listen to the person within their relationship systems to which they belong: family, partnership, school, work, community, experiences and narratives.
In my professional career I have worked therapeutically with adults, children, adolescents, couples, parents and families, both in person and online. I have been in settings where therapy encounters anxiety, distress, pain and despair, family anguish, conflicts, ambivalence, inertia and procrastination, and a person's need to find a more authentic and secure way to stand and navigate through their life.
For me, psychotherapy is not just about understanding a difficulty or a symptom. It is a way to listen more carefully to the person within their story, their relationships, their family, the certainties that supported them but also those that at some point may begin to restrict them.
I am particularly interested in the moment when something that until yesterday seemed taken for granted begins to no longer fit. A family belief, a role, a way of connecting, an image of oneself or of others. That is often where therapeutic work begins; not with the aim of rejecting our history or our people, but of gaining the freedom to question our certainties, so that to make space for new possibilities.
For me, this «disrespect» towards the established does not mean a lack of respect. It means having the courage to look with curiosity at what we took for granted, to rethink it, to place it in a new context and to see if it still serves us.
My approach is systemic and collaborative. Therapy is something we build together, always starting from your request: what changes you want to see in your life and what is the story that brought you here.
I always start with active listening. Listening carefully does not simply mean recording what is said, but tuning into the meaning behind it. At the same time, I place great emphasis on trust. Without a safe space, no change can take root.
During the session, I encourage self-observation and reflection. Το να στραφούμε προς τα μέσα, να αναγνωρίσουμε μοτίβα και επαναλήψεις, είναι συχνά το πρώτο βήμα προς την αλλαγή. Με ενδιαφέρει να καταλάβουμε μαζί όχι μόνο «τι σύμπτωμα υπάρχει», αλλά και τι προσπαθεί να εκφράσει αυτό το σύμπτωμα μέσα στη ζωή, στις σχέσεις και στην καθημερινότητά σου.
Στόχος μου είναι η ενδυνάμωση. Να φύγεις από τη θεραπεία έχοντας πιο καθαρή εικόνα των δικών σου δυνατοτήτων, και μεγαλύτερη εμπιστοσύνη στο πώς θα τις χρησιμοποιήσεις.
Στη θεραπεία με παιδιά, δίνω ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στο γονεϊκό σύστημα και στα σημαντικά πρόσωπα του περιβάλλοντός τους. Το παιδί δεν αλλάζει μόνο του· αλλάζει μέσα σε ένα δίκτυο σχέσεων που το στηρίζει.
Στη θεραπεία ζευγαριών, φροντίζω να διατηρώ ουδετερότητα. Είναι αυτή η ουδετερότητα που επιτρέπει και στους δύο να νιώθουν ότι ακούγονται το ίδιο, χωρίς κάποιος να «κερδίζει» ή να «χάνει».
Και μέσα από αυτή τη διαδικασία, μπορούμε να δουλέψουμε μαζί ώστε να δημιουργηθεί περισσότερη κατανόηση, σύνδεση και συμπόνοια – για εσένα, το παιδί σου, τη σχέση ή την οικογένειά σου.
