Vasiliki Mitrou

I grew up in Thessaloniki, Greece but I'm currently based in Berlin. I hold a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology and a practice license in Greece and Germany. What drew me to the field of Psychology was dreams and the concept of the subconscious mind. What still fascinates me about it is its potential for enhancing our understanding of ourselves and enriching our lives. I've lived, volunteered and traveled in various places around the world and I'm familiar with people from diverse backgrounds and life paths. So far I have gathered working experience in Greece, Germany and the Netherlands. More specifically, during my Bachelor's internship I worked for an institution accommodating children, adolescents and adults with developmental, mental and cognitive disabilities. For my Master's internship at Leiden University, I offered counseling sessions to other students who were mainly dealing with stress and social anxiety. Finally, I spent two years working in Berlin as a social worker in an integration focused kindergarten. For a period of over one year, I also collaborated remotely with researchers from Leiden University on research into social anxiety transmission, contributing to the preparation of two review and meta-analysis studies. I'm interested in physical and mental health and I want to motivate and guide others to take care of and understand themselves. The process of self-exploration is a journey that can begin with becoming more aware of our often unconscious inner chatter, noticing how we relate to different parts within us, or observing habitual patterns of behaviour. I'm also happy to discuss any spiritual, existential and philosophical questions that you might come across along the way. I believe in the need to balance body, mind and "soul" and I will encourage you to cultivate a sense of harmony and wisdom in your life.
