About Me
My journey in the world of psychology and behavior analysis began In Athens. I’m Kelly (Kalliopi), a passionate psychologist dedicated to the well-being and development of children, adolescents, and adults. With a rich tapestry of experiences and qualifications, I’m excited to share my story with you.
Educational Background
My academic voyage commenced at Panteion University in Athens, Greece, where I grappled with the profound choice between teaching and psychology. Ultimately, my heart led me down the path of psychology. During my studies, I felt a profound calling to make a difference in the lives of those in need.
Volunteering and Internships
To enrich my understanding and skills, I started volunteering with various NGOs and public therapeutic centers. I also immersed myself in internships at schools catering to children with special needs. It was during these experiences that my dedication to working with children and adolescents solidified.
Specialized Certifications
My commitment to excellence led me to earn several specialized certifications, including becoming a Parent Training Coach using the Maria Hourdaki approach. I also completed a certificate in Learning Difficulties and Disabilities from the University of Thessaly and received training to work with children on the autism spectrum.
MSc in Child and Adolescent Psychology
My academic journey continued as I pursued a Master of Science in Child and Adolescent Psychology at Leiden University. Here, my fascination with behavior and social-emotional development blossomed, becoming central to my philosophy and practice.
ABA Certification (BCBA-Board Certified Behaviour Analyst)
To further my expertise, I delved into the science of learning and its application in parenting, special education, and general education. In May 2015, I proudly became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), offering invaluable guidance to parents and professionals.
Therapeutic Play Skills
My dedication to holistic development led me to complete training in Therapeutic Play Skills with Play Therapy Greece. I am now a registered Therapeutic Play Practitioner with Play Therapy International and I provide my services at my private office and in different schools in Zuid Holland.
Systemic Psychotherapy
Continuing my quest for knowledge and growth, I embarked on an intensive course in Systemic Psychotherapy. I now provide therapeutic support to adults, young adults, and adolescents at my office in Leiden/ The Hague or online.
