Internet arts therapy

My main work is the use of different mediums for creating individual or social change.

As psychologist (since 1995) and dramatherapist (since 1999) I have worked in different contexts and with different populations.

In 2007, I had different experimental groups with whom I was working with the double mediation of arts and digital technologies, under the context of my phd research. After the very good results of those experiences, I have introduced this form of therapy in my work until today.

As Mc. Luhan had said "The medium is the message", so internet imposes a restriction for some of the "traditional" dramatherapy techniques, but, in the same time, it generates new techniques as well! Working with online dramatherapy I combine different mediums and the internet mediated process is adapted to the knowledge and the familiarization of each person with the different digital technologies of nowdays as also with arts.

As dramatherapist I work with both online and offline therapeutic sessions for individuals and groups in my studio in Athens-Greece.

This is a short video with a some of the symbolic products of my clients during our e-artsessions. I thank them all for their trust and cooperation until today!

Languages of therapy: Greek, French, English.
