At my private practice <strong>I offer individual, couple and family psychotherapy<\/strong> and i am working with a wide range of psychological and relationship difficulties in emotional, mental and physical health.<br \/><span style=\"font-style: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\"><br \/><b style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #44b2b6;\">First steps<\/b><\/span><\/p><p>Therapy is a co-creative process. I provide a safe and confidential space to explore and talk openly without discrimination or judgement. Taking the first steps can be difficult, but an initial consultation can help you address any concerns you may have.<br \/><span style=\"font-style: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\"><br \/><b style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #44b2b6;\">Academic &amp; Professional Background<\/b><\/span><\/p><p>I hold a bachelor\u2019s degree in psychology from Panteion University in Athens and a master\u2019s degree in Applied Child Psychology from Nottingham Trent University in the UK. I trained at University Mental Health Research Institute (EPIPSI), Athens, one of the leading institutions for academic and clinical training in Systemic psychotherapy in Greece. This four year training included extensive supervised work with families at \u201cEginiteio Hospital Family Unit\u201d.<\/p><p>My working experience as a psychologist is extensive, working at public schools, different mental health settings, International Organizations, Non-governmental organizations, acquiring valuable clinical practice by providing counselling and psychotherapy at students, adults and vulnerable populations. Furthermore, I am trained and experienced in administering psychometric tests (Wechsler Intelligence Scales: WPSSI-III, WISC-V, WAIS-IV).<\/p><p>My educational and professional path in different cities and countries, my collaboration with different interdisciplinary teams and my experience working with families of different origin and cultural background shaped the way I am working, adopting and incorporating in my clinical practice a human-right based approach.<br \/><span style=\"font-style: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\"><br \/><b style=\"border-bottom: solid 2px #44b2b6;\">My approach<\/b><\/span><\/p><p>Systemic psychotherapy is a way of thinking, a framework of clinical practice that focuses on how things work. It provides an opportunity for individuals, regardless of how they present in the therapy room (i.e as individuals, families or couples) to explore how they interact with others, process their feelings and speaking their minds in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Systemic thinking moves the focus from the individual, as it sees the individual as a member of different groups within the context in which they live (family, work, leisure, friends, community, life cycle etc.).<br \/>Through this approach the psychotherapist helps you to understand what may be causing you difficulties, problems and symptoms that may affect your everyday life. Furthermore, whether your problems are identifiable, or confusing, psychotherapy or counselling can help you deal with emotions that are difficult to understand, giving you fresh insight into your life and work in order to find the best way forward.<\/p><p>My approach to psychotherapy is inclusive, I acknowledge and accept diversity and multi-culturalism of the social context where we live and I am committed to provide a safe, confidential and non-discriminatory space, and to work in ways that promote understanding and respect.<\/p><p><strong>The following short video helpfully explains what psychotherapy is and why you might seek help.<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Source: The school of Life<\/strong><\/p><p><div class=\"tg-oembed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Psychotherapy\" width=\"812\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OxuZiqY5ypU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/p><p><style>\/*! elementor - v3.11.2 - 22-02-2023 *\/<br \/>.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-16 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9a49af1\" data-id=\"9a49af1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7c06104c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7c06104c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6a7c3262\" data-id=\"6a7c3262\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27e438bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"27e438bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.11.2 - 22-02-2023 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">You can book your session at<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-65d8377c\" data-id=\"65d8377c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74cf00a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"74cf00a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">(+30) 694 501 9098<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vasiliki Giannaki Licenced psychologist, Msc&nbsp; Systemic, couple and family psychotherapist Welcome to my website.
