“Psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults and adolescents”

Verified by Kyan

About Ελευθερία

I am a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist. Since 2020 I have kept a private office in central Athens. I offer open-ended individual psychodynamic psychotherapy to adults and adolescents, in person and online, in Greek and in English.

I graduated in psychology from Panteion University in 2013, and during that degree I completed a one-year course in dance movement therapy. In 2014 I completed an MSc in Clinical Psychology and Psychopathology at Swansea University, recognised by DOATAP. I then worked in UK housing and rehabilitation services and in NHS community teams for people with serious psychiatric illness. From 2018 I trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the Wessex Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre, recognised by BACP and BPC, and I completed the diploma. I have worked as a psychologist at Alzheimer Athens on neuropsychological assessment of older adults. I continue training in Lacanian psychoanalysis at the Centre of Psychoanalytic Studies in Athens.

I explore the unconscious process behind symptoms, psychological distress and inner conflicts. I look at the whole person, including previous experiences, family background and unconscious motivations. A safe frame and a trusting relationship matter. I also offer short-term grief psychotherapy of 24 sessions, counselling for caregivers of people with dementia, and cognitive stimulation for people with dementia or neurological difficulties, on their own or in a group. I see Greek expats.

How Ελευθερία works

I work with a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic orientation. I aim to explore the unconscious process behind symptoms, psychological distress or inner conflicts. In therapy we look at the whole person, including previous experiences, family background and unconscious motivations. The aim is to bring unconscious thoughts and feelings into conscious awareness. I give great weight to a safe frame and to a therapeutic relationship of trust. Sessions with adults and adolescents are individual. We can meet in person in central Athens or online, in Greek or in English. This psychotherapy is open-ended. When the work is about grief, I also offer a short-term psychotherapy of 24 sessions.

Approaches

General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Ελευθερία works.

Psychodynamic therapy

Psychodynamic therapy explores how earlier experiences, and feelings you may not be fully aware of, shape your life today. Patterns that show up in your relationships, and sometimes in the relationship with the therapist, become something to understand together. It is often used for recurring difficulties with mood, relationships and self-esteem.
