Licensed psychologist specializing in child and adolescent mental health.
GreeceWhat I'm looking for
I am a licensed psychologist with over 16 years of clinical experience, dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and adults through various psychological challenges. My journey began with a BSc in Psychology from Sunderland University, followed by a Master's in Applied Child Psychology and a Certificate in Existential Phenomenological Psychotherapy from esteemed institutions in the UK. I have honed my skills in diagnosis and psychotherapy, working with vulnerable families and individuals across diverse settings.
Currently, I serve as a psychologist for the Municipality of Volos, where I focus on assisting vulnerable families. My past roles include providing psychological support through Hellas Employee Assistance Programs and coordinating scientific teams at the “Apostoli” Child Psychiatric Department. I am also passionate about education and have lectured on various psychology modules at Aegean College and the Greek Ministry of Education, sharing my knowledge with future professionals in the field.
In addition to my clinical and teaching roles, I have contributed to the field through research, presenting my doctoral dissertation at a convention of developmental psychology. I am in the process of publishing two scientific books that critically evaluate psychological theories and resilience in adolescents, showcasing my commitment to advancing mental health knowledge.
