I am a trained psychologist and Gestalt therapist from Athens, Greece.  My practice is deeply influenced by both phenomenological and psychoanalytic schools of thought, while art has never seized to inspire me further in my attempt to approach the human psyche. I consider my work a commitment to lifelong development.

 

I have practiced one to one and group sessions in Greek and English since 2009, in a variety of settings, with adults and teenagers, sometimes dealing with serious aspects of the psycho-pathological spectrum, while others just aiming at self-awareness and/or change. I have chosen to be a Gestalt therapist, finishing a four-year training program, as for me this approach represents in its practice some of the most fundamental elements of the well-being. Aware presence, the view of Self as an indivisible part of one’s relational/societal interactions (field theory & liminality), existential dialogue, and inter-subjectivity as the "third party" where therapy actualizes are elements through which, therapy evolves into a fertile ground, where acceptance nourishes growth, change and capacity. Thereafter, a deepening in psychoanalytic theory has amalgamated my practice into an osmosis of phenomenology, analysis and existentialism. Yet theory remains for me merely a toolkit of ideas, which alongside a diversity of interests in life other than therapy, provides me with the aspiration to enter the therapeutic dialogue in an authentic and simple manner.
