Interpersonal relationships play a crucial role in our social and professional lives, through friendships, romantic and sexual relationships, colleagues, and relatives. When our internal values are present and aligned with our needs, we feel internally centered and mentally healthy with respected boundaries and acceptable expectations.

My interest in the well-being of LGBTQIA+ individuals has led me over the past 10 years to volunteering and private psychotherapeutic engagement, finding ways for them to exist as they wish, guided by acceptance, inclusion, and personal responsibility. As part of my scientific expansion, I conducted a research project awarded for excellence (Strathclyde University). The research focused on how psychotherapy can influence the decision of coming out (self-disclosure), recognising the limits and safe ways each person wishes to exist, in relation to their needs and social constraints. Mental health professionals recognise how stigma, prejudice, discrimination, and violence affect the mental and physical health, safety, and well-being of LGBTQIA+ individuals. Mental health issues may or may not relate to sexual orientation and/or gender identity and the psychological effects of the stress experienced by LGBTQIA+ people as a minority group.

Mental health is a decisive factor in a fulfilling and productive life with internal harmony and fulfillment , even in situations where circumstances are not ideal or favorable. My specialisation in Mindfulness came from my scholarship-funded training at the Athens Mindfulness Centre on the MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) cognitive psychotherapy protocol. This application is aimed at people with anxiety problems and related disorders, as well as chronic pain issues. The approach involves cultivating a conscious lifestyle that helps maintain mental balance even when in the "eye of the storm," facing economic, work-related, emotional, or physical difficulties.

Brief therapy is a process that focuses on a specific request of the client with a mutually agreed initial timeframe. During the process, I act as a companion, actively and dynamically participating in the process, but not in a patronizing manner. The goal is to facilitate the individual in trusting themselves and finding their own answers to everyday difficulties that cause social maladaptation and distress.

Individual psychotherapy involves the development of a therapeutic relationship that enhances mental health through human contact, empowerment, and self-awareness. It is an internal journey of individual sessions aimed at exploring, discovering, understanding, processing, and accepting the emotions, thoughts, and behaviours that affect the individual's life with feelings of dysphoria. Additionally, it is intrinsically linked to the desire for an authentic way of being, characterised by fulfilment and balance.

Person-centered group meetings occur in an atmosphere of safety and acceptance, where the client relates not only to the therapist or/and group coordinator but also to the rest of group members. During the weekly two-and-a-half-hour meetings, participants work through issues that concern them (anxiety, grief, loneliness, depression, loss, low self-esteem, etc.) in the unique way they experience them. The group coordinator ensures that the group members learn to respect each individual's diversity, and develop the ability to empathetically understand, connect and accept, without necessarily agreeing with the other members point of view or experience. The goal is for each group member to be able to relate to the experiences of others and feel free to express their emotions. At the same time, they are invited to understand and integrate those aspects they previously denied or distorted to feel accepted and loved from the significant others.

Couples therapy and counseling provide a safe environment of respect and acceptance for couples, regardless of sexual orientation, to find the necessary space to express difficulties, concerns, and desires. Focusing on the relationship, it aims to understand how the emotional connection might has been wounded and decide how they would like to reengage with it. With the therapist's help, the couple is invited to deeply understand the importance of a secure bond and the expression of emotions. Strengthening the emotional connection and healthy bond in the couple, acts as a better channel for communication, intimacy, and trust. Partners are gently and emotionally safely encouraged to approach their relationship with authenticity and acceptance, both of themselves and the way their partner wishes to exist.
