Welcome to the Psychotherapy Practice of Dr. Eleftheria Avramidou
Hello and welcome! My name is Eleftheria Avramidou, and I am pleased to introduce you to my psychotherapy practice. In my practice, I support children, adolescents, and parents on their path to greater emotional well-being and stable attachments. My therapeutic approach is based on psychoanalytic and attachment theory insights, taking into account the individual developmental processes of each child. With many years of clinical experience, I assist families in challenging life situations and help them find new perspectives and solutions. Learn more about my approach and areas of focus – I look forward to engaging with you!
My Therapeutic Approach
I believe that human existence is fundamentally social, shaped by relationships and interactions with others and the world. Inspired by Merleau-Ponty, I emphasize the role of culture and history in personal development
“The human being (the subject) is inseparable from the world it projects, while at the same time, it is a projection of the world itself.” (2005, 407-408)
Every individual navigates life with conscious perception and experience, shaping their reality through interpretation, understanding, and actions. As Bruner describes:
“The self’s narrative about itself is like creating a story of who and what we are, what has happened, and why we do what we do.”
Bruner
2004, 113
In this context, child development is a complex and evolutionary process, driven by:
Innate characteristics
- Through therapy, we explore these aspects, supporting children and families in navigating their unique developmental journeys.
- Biologically programmed attachment formation
- Interpersonal encounters and emotional experiences
