After my BSc in Applied Psychology I studied Clinical Neuropsychology (MSc, University of Groningen) and decided that I wanted a more 'philosophical' rather than 'neuro' insight into our science. So I did an MA in Philosophy of Cognitive Sciences at the same university, where I focused on Phenomenology and 4E Cognition (Embody, Embedded, Enactive, Extended Mind).
Now I am specialized in existential psychotherapy and my approach to therapy is philosophically informed but also applied and in the world. By in the world I mean in the here and now, focusing on the bodily and affective experiences, where the psychotherapeutic relationship is our instrument. We are constantly becoming and in a quest to understand our freedom and responsibility (authenticity in the existential sense). Through therapy we can gain better access to this path of becoming, and also explore our maps of meaning.
My interest in the field goes beyond the traditional ways of describing, defining and analyzing human cognition, and I approach mental health with openness, acceptance and respect. Born and raised in Greece, but living in Groningen for 5 years , where I provide guidance in English and Greek, in my practice MindLife Therapy.
