I am a psychologist working in private practice in Athens, Greece, since 2006. Living in a country which faces financial crisis has been a huge challenge. I have to surf daily on a rough sea. Coming from a Cognitive Behavioral background I had learnt to solve problems and change the way of thinking. However CBT tools were not sufficient during this hard period. In 2012 I met Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) and it was love at first sight.
Living with Awareness Courage and Love transformed my life. I started believing in myself more, dared to show my authenticity and took the risk of applying creativity in therapy. Writing short stories for my clients is a creative vehicle for enhancing therapeutic relationship.
