Individual psychotherapy refers to the relationship between therapist and client, in which the desirable goals to be achieved can be set. Within the framework of therapeutic work, emotions, behaviours, traumas, beliefs and memories are explored, creating the necessary space for the client to express herself / himself in a confidential and safe environment.
Psychotherapy inevitably leads to more self-awareness, self-reliance, and personal development, and so it is addressed to everyone, and not just to those who want to work on specific issues such as depression, anxiety, or interpersonal difficulties. Although in the centre, GIA TIN ITHAKI, it is possible to use short-term psychotherapeutic methods (brief psychotherapy), the duration and frequency of treatment depends exclusively on the personal needs, goals and therapeutic depth desired by the client. Treatment may therefore consist of many sessions or take a few years until the desirable outcome emerges.
Some of the basic psychotherapeutic approaches followed in our centre are the Client-Centred, Systemic, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical-Behaviour Therapy, EMDR Trauma Therapy, Play Therapy and others. However, we tend to work in an integrative way by combining different therapeutic approaches and techniques according to each individual’s request and needs.
