My interest in human behavior, thought, and relationships emerged from a young age. As a result, I pursued a degree in Psychology at the University of Bedfordshire in England and later completed my Master’s in Speech and Language Therapy at City University of London. <\/p>

After finishing my studies, I worked in nurseries, schools, day centers, rehabilitation centers, and hospitals across London, specializing in neuropsychiatric cases.<\/p>

Upon returning to Greece in 2003, I initially worked as a speech and language therapist, focusing primarily on developmental disorders and auditory processing issues in children. I was employed in private practices, interdisciplinary therapy centers, and the American Community Schools of Athens. <\/p>

Concurrently, for over a decade, I collaborated as a scientific associate with the Behavioral and Developmental Pediatrics Unit of the First Department of Pediatrics at the University of Athens, located at “Aghia Sophia” Children’s Hospital. There, I was involved in assessment, diagnosis, and the coordination of the therapies that each child should receive. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

At the hospital, my close interaction with families seeking guidance regarding their child\u2019s diagnosis and developmental progress, highlighted a critical insight: for every child that faces challenges to thrive, their family must also receive psychological support.<\/p>

This realization led me to pursue further training in Psychotherapy. I continued my education in Systemic\/Family Psychotherapy at the Systemic Center for Psychotherapy Specialization, gaining expertise in individual, family, and group therapy.<\/p>

Upon completing this training, I shifted my focus exclusively to mental health services at my private practice.<\/p>

Throughout my career, I have attended specialized seminars and workshops and participated in conferences in Greece and the United States. Additionally, I have lectured pediatricians and developmental specialists as part of the Postgraduate Program at the University of Athens, titled “Basic Principles of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics A & B.”<\/p>

I am a member of the following organizations: the British Psychological Society, the Panhellenic Association of Speech Therapists, the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, and the Health & Care Professions Council.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
