How is high-standard psychotherapy ensured with etherapy:

Education:

​

The studies I have completed by choice, in counseling psychology and clinical psychology, make psychotherapy with me particularly effective.
I have attended and continue to attend psychotherapy seminars, lectures and diploma courses. I read psychology and psychotherapy books and actively try to stay informed about new research. I have completed two different internships both in a psychotherapeutic context. Finally I have taken many hours of personal therapy and supervision.

​

Professional experience:

​

I have many years of experience and I am a seasoned therapist, working with a huge range of different people and issues, almost always improving the quality of life of my clients. The many hours of personal psychotherapy have helped me to “know what it is like” when you sit in the client’s chair.
Supervision, which unfortunately is not mandatory in Greece as in other countries, is another way to offer better psychotherapy services. It involves working with a fellow psychotherapist where issues from the content of sessions are discussed, always anonymously, for a better perspective and for feedback from a third person not involved in the process.

​

Life experience:

​

I may not be (too) old, but I have a very rich life experience, for various reasons. I am a "cosmopolitan" who has lived in four different countries and speak 3 languages excluding Greek. I always use this experience, whether I want to or not, as an extra tool in psychotherapy.

​

Safety:

​

I have absolute respect for the code of ethics of the psychotherapeutic process and I never make any concessions regarding the ethical way of working.
I consider the code of ethics an essential element that has nothing to do with formalities. The code of ethics ensures and protects first primarily the client but also the psychotherapist and above all the psychotherapeutic relationship itself.

​

Sense of responsibility:

​

I feel a great sense of responsibility towards my clients and that constitutes my prime principle. By nature, I care about people and I genuinely help them improve their lives, in any way possible.

​

Genuine interest:

​

I have always been interested in my fellow man. I get great satisfaction from seeing people do better at any level and in any functional way.
I consciously chose my studies without “accidentally” finding myself in a “good school”.
I love what I do and I try to improve constantly.

​
Sessions without abrupt breaks:

​

It is common for a psychotherapist to interrupt a session somewhat abruptly when time is up. This is something logical and expected as the schedule of psychotherapists is usually quite busy. However, the session may be at an important point and this interruption may interrupt the flow of the conversation and thus something important may be lost. Not to mention the case in which a client is feeling overwhelmed or emotional.
Sessions with me do not allow for abrupt interruptions if the conversation hasn't naturally reached its end. There is always a small margin of time to complete the process properly and without pressure.

​

You do not need to do this alone:

​

My clients can reach me when things get too hard, between sessions. (Within reason)
