Location:

Zografou, Greece

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyGood for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Systemic therapyGood for those who want to understand how their relationships and environments influence their behavior and emotions, particularly within family or organizational systems.
My main approach is CBT and Systemic Psychotherapy. The goal is to discover the thought process of the client, face anxiety and panic problems, deal with family and relationship issues in order to alter the way of thinking and alleviate negative feelings. Through the whole process the client and the therapist act like a dynamic duet with the continious support of the therapist in every step of the way.
