In the systemic approach, the “problem” does not live inside a person — it lives between people.
Systemic psychotherapy sees the person within the systems that shape them: family, relationships, work, community. The difficulties we bring to therapy are rarely a “flaw of ours” — more often they are responses that once made sense and today constrain us.
In sessions we do not look for culprits. Together we observe the patterns — how we communicate, what repeats itself, what role we have taken on — and we try out new ways of relating, to others and to ourselves.
Sessions take place in person in central Athens or online — individually, as a couple, as a family or in a group.
I am Christina Antypa. I was born in Patras and grew up in Kalamata. I am a social worker and systemic psychotherapist, working with individuals, couples, families and groups, with respect for the unique story each person brings.
I have worked for many years as a social worker at the Hellenic Centre for Mental Health and Research (EKEPSYE) in Piraeus, and I maintain a private practice offering support, counselling and psychotherapy. In the past I worked at the Specialised Supported Employment Office for People on the Autism Spectrum, as well as with organisations providing services to refugees and asylum seekers in Greece, holding positions of responsibility in several of them.
I regularly take part in conferences and training programmes and I am actively involved in mental health initiatives, including European and Erasmus programmes. I am a member of the Hellenic Association of Social Workers and a collaborator of SONORA, a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting music therapy through therapeutic, psychosocial and wellbeing programmes.
It is an evidence-based approach that sees the person within the systems of their relationships — family, couple, work, community. In sessions we work with communication patterns and roles, so that new choices become possible.
You do not need to "fall apart" to ask for help. If something persistently troubles you — anxiety, relationships, mood, a life transition — or you simply want a space to process it, that is reason enough.
