B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D.
Vasiliki studied Psychology at Panteion University (2008) and Pedagogy at the Department of Primary Education of the University of Ioannina (2012) in an attempt to combine her two main interests: psychology and children. Her subsequent postgraduate studies (Counselling-Psychology, University of Ioannina, 2013) fully reflect her love for these two subjects. She trained on the ICPS curriculum in Person-Centred Counselling and received her M.Sc. in Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy in collaboration with the University of Strathclyde (2017). In 2018 she completed her PhD studies in Counselling and School Psychology at the University of Ioannina, where she focused on the implementation of group interventions to promote social and emotional skills in children.
