After returning to Greece, she began her specialization in the four-year program of Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy (CBT) for adults at the Hellenic Association for Cognitive and Behavioral Studies (HACBS) in Athens.

At the same time, she became certified in Applied Behavior Analysis as a Registered Behavior Technician by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. She is also a regular member of the Hellenic Community for Behavior Analysis.

Clinical experience with children, adolescents, and families
Her clinical practice includes a wide range of individual and group psychotherapeutic and psychoeducational interventions for children and adolescents facing difficulties in emotional regulation, intense fears, low self-esteem, school bullying, anxiety, depressive mood, and challenges with socialization within the school environment.
During her stay in the United Kingdom, she worked in several primary and secondary schools, providing support to students in need. She also volunteered in numerous programs (such as the ACE Learning Club, among others) that offered psychosocial and educational support to children with behavioral difficulties and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
Subsequently, she worked at the charitable organization Beyond Autism (Park House School), where she supported children on the autism spectrum within the school setting. There, she provided individualized interventions based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), systematically monitored each child’s progress, and collaborated closely with parents and teachers to help every child take steady steps toward social inclusion and independence.
In Athens, since 2020, she has been actively collaborating with private special therapy centers, where she provides initial assessments, interventions for children and adolescents, and prepares progress reports and individualized goal plans. She has also worked with parents through parent training and counseling programs, focusing on improving family relationships and strengthening parenting skills.
She has placed particular emphasis on supporting children and adolescents with autism or ADHD, designing psychoeducational intervention programs tailored to their individual needs. Additionally, she has coordinated social and emotional skills groups for children and adolescents experiencing difficulties with expression, behavior, and social integration.
Clinical experience with adults
Regarding her clinical experience in adult psychotherapy, she has worked at the Rethymno Mental Health Center. She is currently an active collaborator of the non-profit organization Institute for Behavioral Research and Therapy in the Adult Therapy Department, where she provides individual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) sessions for adults.
In her clinical practice, she supports individuals dealing with mood disorders, depressive symptoms, difficulties in emotional regulation, anxiety, panic attacks, excessive health-related worries, obsessive thoughts, compulsions, and specific phobias. She also works with issues such as low self-esteem, interpersonal relationship difficulties, challenges in one’s relationship with food, and the management of psychological crises.
Additionally, she has volunteered in the United Kingdom in programs such as Ty Celyn Club, which offered psychosocial interventions to young adults with cognitive disabilities.
Her therapeutic approach is based on creating a safe and supportive environment where adults can freely share their concerns and work toward the changes they wish to make in their lives.
