About me

My name is Valeria Koudoumogiannaki. I live in Greece and have been licensed to practice psychology since 2011. I have worked regularly as a psychologist since 2020 with my project https://flourish.gr/en/ For many years I have been in different trainings and workshops, about self-knowing, healing, psychology (Jung, Gestalt, etc.) In 2019 I completed the Master’s degree in positive psychology and coaching psychology. That’s where I felt a personal fulfillment as this science embraces spirituality, meditation, and Eastern philosophy. So in me, I find my way, to achieve self-realization and well-being even in times of crisis. And most importantly I now have the tools I need for psychic blossoming at the level of the individual, interpersonal relationships, community, and society. Also at the end of 2019, I completed the Organisational Psychology program at the Athens University of Economics and Business, with training on work-related issues. These days I finish my training in art therapy, which I already use with my clients, as it came naturally with some of them doing so. And I can see already the great results it has. I have experience working with anxiety, chronic stress, grief, relationship issues, psychosomatic symptoms, people with cancer, leukemia, multiple sclerosis, etc. Working with individuals, easing their emotional and physical pain, and supporting their evolvement and flourishing, is very fulfilling. I do like to work with lgbtq+ clients as I belong to the community, I know the struggles from personal experience,also I have the therapeutic tools. Furthermore, I facilitate workshops, women's circles, and retreats because I love to empower women and lgbtq+ people. Also, I am a member of a social enterprise that focuses on the well-being of activists and not only, called ''the Beehive Community''. I will be happy to meet you online and work with you, be there for important changes in your life, and help you flourish!

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Art therapyRecommended for those who feel more comfortable expressing emotions through creativity and want to explore their feelings through art rather than talking.
-Applied Positive psychology -Art therapy -Person-centered therapy values -Tools from Jungian psychotherapy and Gestalt psychotherapy - Mindfulness My values as a therapist are inspired by person-centered therapy, such as congruence or genuineness, positive regard and acceptance, and empathic understanding. During the sessions I am there for you, and in the process to assist in understanding your needs and how can be fulfilled. I like to work using art therapy techniques, body expression, and tools of mindfulness such as guided meditation, but this is optional. If you would like I can suggest exercises after the session that can help you explore your inner self, develop skills, integrate what we have done during the sessions, and also ways of relaxation, dealing with anxiety and sleep deprivation, practical ways how to deal with panic attacks if they occur. I also tend to help emotional expression through body awareness, activation, and art, especially when there are psychosomatic, or chronic fatigue, illness, burnout etc. I usually try to go with the rhythm and the flow of my clients, and I am happy and I empower any kind of progress that has been made. Also, I love to see the unique way that each person flourishes, even if the conditions are good or not. My values as a person are: empathy, acceptance, solidarity, co-working, equity, ethics, kindness, forgiveness, community, human rights, collaboration, activism, creativity, flourishing me and we.
