Human existence is composed of experiences, relationships, emotions, memories and personal meanings. Like the tesserae of a mosaic, the different facets of our story matter not only on their own, but also through the way they connect with one another.
Psychotherapy creates a space where these connections can be explored, given new meaning, and shed light on sides of the self that until now remained less understood.
The process
Our personal story is shaped not only by isolated events, but also by the way our experiences interact, take on meaning and influence our relationship with ourselves and with others.
The psychotherapeutic process opens a space for exploration, where thoughts, emotions, inner conflicts and recurring patterns can gradually be recognised and better understood.
The aim is not to search for an ideal or “perfect” self, but to come into deeper contact with our own experience and to develop new ways of understanding and connecting.
Integrative psychotherapy
Integrative psychotherapy recognises the complexity of human experience and approaches the person as a whole, in which thought, emotion, the body, relationships and the social environment are in constant interaction.
By bringing together different psychotherapeutic theories and methods, it seeks a many-sided understanding of the person, with respect for the uniqueness of their personal story and their particular needs.
In my own practice, the therapeutic relationship holds a central place. I consider it important to create a safe and stable setting in which each person can express themselves freely, explore their experiences and approach sides of themselves with greater understanding.
The therapeutic process takes shape through collaboration, respect for each person’s own pace and recognition of their uniqueness.

More about meReviews
Συνεργάζομαι με τη Γεωργία εδώ και αρκετούς μήνες και νιώθω ότι η θεραπεία με έχει βοηθήσει ουσιαστικά. Από την πρώτη συνεδρία ένιωσα ασφάλεια και αποδοχή, κάτι που μου επέτρεψε να ανοιχτώ χωρίς φόβο. Είναι προσεκτική, με ακούει πραγματικά και με βοηθά να κατανοώ βαθύτερα όσα βιώνω, χωρίς να μου δίνει έτοιμες απαντήσεις. Νιώθω ότι προσεγγίζει κάθε συνεδρία με επαγγελματισμό, ενσυναίσθηση και σεβασμό. Τη συστήνω σε όποιον αναζητά έναν ψυχολόγο που δημιουργεί μια σχέση εμπιστοσύνης και σε βοηθά να εξελιχθείς με τον δικό σου ρυθμό.Από την πρώτη κιόλας συνεδρία ένιωσα άνετα και ασφαλής να μιλήσω ανοιχτά. Η Γεωργία με έκανε να νιώσω ότι με ακούει πραγματικά, χωρίς κριτική και χωρίς να με πιέζει. Μέσα από τις συνεδρίες μας έχω αρχίσει να καταλαβαίνω καλύτερα τον εαυτό μου και τον τρόπο που σχετίζομαι με όσα με δυσκολεύουν. Είναι ένας άνθρωπος με ενσυναίσθηση, ηρεμία και ουσιαστικό ενδιαφέρον. Τη συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα.Βρήκα τη ψυχολόγο που μου ταιριάζει με έκανε να νοιώσω αμέσως άνετα και οικεία να συνειδητοποιήσω πολλά πράγματα για τον εαυτό μου και να δω τις καταστάσεις από μια διαφορετική οπτική γωνία. Αξιόλογη επαγγελματίας και πάρα πολύ θετικός άνθρωπος τη συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα...Η πρώτη εμπειρία μου με την Γεωργία ήταν πολύ θετική. Ένιωσα άνετα και ότι υπήρχε χώρος να εκφραστώ ελεύθερα. Έφυγα με πολύ καλή αίσθηση και αισιοδοξία για τη συνέχεια.Selected reviews, as written (in Greek) on doctoranytime.
