Short biography
I was born and raised in Egio, Achaea. I moved in Metamorfosis, Athens when I was 20 years old, without losing contact with my hometown.
I hold a BSc in Psychology with Psychotherapy and Counselling from the University of Central Lancashire. At the same time, I have been trained in Integrative Counseling and Psychotherapy, based on 6 different approaches (Psychodynamic, Analytic, Person-Centered, Systemic, Gestalt and Cognitive-Behavioral), thus gaining the ability to work with each client according to their needs and capabilities.
I have worked extensively with personality disorders, grief management, lack of self-confidence, divorce, phobias, anxiety/panic attacks, communication difficulties in the family. I also specialize in dream and symbol analysis according to C.G. Jung, I have been trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and I have participated in psycho-educational intervention training in psychosexual - relational therapy.
I am a member of the Panhellenic Association of Person-Centered and Experiential Approach Professionals and the Organizing Committee of the 16th World Conference of Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapy and Counseling.

F.A.Q.
According to the APA, psychotherapy is “a collaborative treatment based on a therapeutic relationship between an individual and a psychologist.” It is often referred to as “talk therapy.” In general, psychotherapy focuses on improving mental health.
The goal is for the therapist to create a safe space for the client to grow, explore, and be moved. Trust is very important in a client-therapist relationship. Carl Rogers believed that “unconditional positive regard” was a key point in every therapy session. Regardless of what the client reveals, the therapist will be there to listen, encourage, and support without judgment. It is worth noting that in addition to individual therapy, there is also couples therapy, group therapy, and family therapy.
Psychotherapy is a completely personal choice and responsibility. With the help of the psychotherapist, the client can choose between in-person therapy, online therapy, or blended therapy, which is a combination of the other two, depending on their needs.
Unfortunately, seeking treatment can be embarrassing or embarrassing. Seeking professional help for mental health issues has been stigmatized and labeled as something that “only those with mental disorders need.” The reality is that many people will benefit from treatment, whether or not they have a diagnosed mental illness or disorder. Seeing a therapist can be part of a person’s overall mental and emotional well-being.
While effective treatment can be extremely helpful for many, it is critical for some, especially those with mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, addiction, etc. The brain is an organ and, like any other organ, requires its own care. Therapy can help you manage life’s many challenges and live a more fulfilling life. It can help you understand what you are feeling, why, and how to deal with it, and improve various aspects of your life. Just like you visit your doctor for a regular checkup or your dentist for a checkup, meeting with a therapist can help you maintain and improve your mental health and well-being. Indeed, therapy can be beneficial “just because.”
Everything discussed during the therapy session remains completely confidential and is governed by the rules of ethics. The only exception to the above rule concerns information that poses a threat to human life, including that of the client himself.
“The fact that a man who goes his own way ends in ruin means nothing…
He must obey his own law, as if it were a daemon whispering to him of new and wonderful paths…
There are not a few who are called awake by the summons of the voice, whereupon they are at once set apart from the others, feeling themselves confronted with a problem about which the others know nothing. In most cases it is impossible to explain to the others what has happened, for any understanding is walled off by impenetrable prejudices. “You are no different from anybody else,” they will chorus or, “there’s no such thing,” and even if there is such a thing, it is immediately branded as “morbid”…
He is at once set apart and isolated, as he has resolved to obey the law that commands him from within. “His own law!” everybody will cry. But he knows better: it is the law…
The only meaningful life is a life that strives for the individual realization–absolute and unconditional–of its own particular law…To the extent that a man is untrue to the law of his being…he has failed to realize his own life’s meaning.”
C.G. Jung
