Professional Experience

• Research and Counseling Service Center (KESY): I worked extensively with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, addressing issues such as trauma, grief, anxiety, and interpersonal difficulties. My experience at KESY has enhanced my ability to work empathetically with clients from various walks of life.
• Psychoeducational Group Facilitation: I co-facilitated a group for trainee psychologists, focusing on managing adversities both in therapeutic contexts and in everyday life. This experience allowed me to contribute to the professional development of emerging psychologists.
• Skapaneas: I provided group interventions for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, fostering personal growth within a supportive and structured environment. This role involved creating tailored programs to enhance life skills and social integration.
• University of Nicosia Medical School: I offered short-term therapy to students, helping them navigate academic pressures and personal challenges. This included working with students to develop coping strategies and resilience in the face of stress.

Therapeutic Approach

My therapeutic approach is rooted in the Integrative Model, which blends techniques from Psychodynamic and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This model allows for flexibility in addressing various client needs, whether exploring deep-seated emotional issues or developing practical strategies for managing daily stressors. I believe in creating a collaborative and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and feelings.

Commitment to Continuous Professional Development

I am dedicated to my continuous professional development (CPD), regularly engaging with the latest research, attending seminars, and participating in conferences. This ongoing education ensures that I stay informed about the latest advancements in psychology, which I integrate into my practice to provide the most effective and up-to-date therapy. I am fluent in both Greek and English, offering services in both languages to accommodate a wider range of clients.

Every individual's path to therapy is unique, shaped by their personal experiences, challenges, and aspirations. Recognizing this, our therapeutic journey will be tailored to your specific needs and goals. Whether you seek to understand deep-seated issues, manage stress, or improve relationships, I am here to support you every step of the way.

In our sessions, my priority is to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment. This space will allow us to explore and understand the defenses and barriers that have developed over time. By working together, we can uncover these underlying issues and find ways to address them constructively. My goal is to help you gain deeper self-awareness, develop healthier coping strategies, and achieve a greater sense of well-being.
