Do you want to enhance your mental abilities, train your creative thinking, and improve your cognitive performance?
This course combines the best of cognitive stimulation and neuropsychology to help you strengthen your mind, expand your problem-solving skills, and think flexibly and innovatively.

As a university professor and neuropsychologist, I have designed a practical and personalized program for young people and adults who wish to develop their full cognitive potential.
What are you going to achieve with this course?
Develop your flexible thinking
Learn to look at problems from new perspectives, break rigid thinking patterns, and find creative and effective solutions in complex situations.

Stimulate key executive functions
It develops skills such as planning, logical reasoning, decision-making, sustained attention, and working memory, which are essential for good academic, work, and daily performance.

Adapt better to challenges
Cognitive stimulation strengthens your ability to adapt to change, handle the unexpected, and respond with mental agility to new demands.

Prevent cognitive decline
Incorporate neuroscience-based practices that help you take care of your mental health and prevent future difficulties associated with chronic stress or aging.

Improve your overall well-being
Strengthening your cognitive abilities has a direct impact on your emotional well-being, your autonomy, your creativity, and your personal relationships.

Who is this course for?
✔️ Adults looking to optimize their cognitive and professional performance.
✔️ People experiencing temporary dysfunctions (stress, mental fatigue, lack of concentration).
✔️ People with a neurological history (stroke, TBI, neurodegenerative diseases) seeking cognitive rehabilitation.
✔️ Young adults who want to improve their concentration, planning, and problem-solving skills for studying, working, or starting a business.

How do we work?
This course includes an initial assessment and a personalized intervention plan, with practical exercises, neurocognitive strategies, and innovative tools based on scientific evidence.

I guide you through a process that combines science, creativity, and human development so you can achieve your best mental state.

► Learn to know your intimate and sexual desires, deepen them, assume them and perceive their meaning, while being aware of your own limits and those of your partner, understand your blockages in order to overcome them, take advantage of the approach socio-cognitive of sexual desire, better integrate the functioning of one's partner, integrate tools / techniques / methods / know-how / key phrases to take pleasure while leaving it to spontaneity & naturalness, improve the link between affectivity and sexual intimacy but also communication with your partner, play (...): these are examples of the objectives of these personalized sessions, in order to ultimately improve your intimate and sexual satisfaction, accompanied by a mediator specialized.

➤ Together, step by step, it's about getting to know each other better (through your past experience, what you like or appreciate the least about yourself / about the other), by analyzing situations in a thorough and pragmatic way. Indeed, this step is essential in order not to orient towards / "tackle" a pre-established model, but to adapt to each situation.

➤ In parallel, from the first session, once the key points are better understood / assimilated, and the objectives gradually defined, tackle, based on your daily life / your experience, the art of sexuality and its subtleties, while valuing the complexity of sexuality and not its complications.

► My mission: to help you understand, analyze, discover and discover yourself to better enjoy yourself, while gaining self-confidence & acting in order to no longer be limited by your beliefs.

➤ If the discretion and confidentiality of the coach are essential, it is therefore a question of offering a tailor-made program / training, following an initial 'diagnosis'.

► These sessions can, for example, deal with how to regain confidence and make you reconnect with a complex but not complicated, subtle but not tangled sexuality, in short fulfilled while understanding the key elements of your own psychology and that of your partner (... ). But also how to strengthen your sexual charisma to unlock your potential and take pleasure.

➤ Non-verbal language, sexualization and avoidance of the friend zone (...): the objective being to demystify these themes in theory and in practice.

➤ Coaching is based on precise questioning techniques, helping the person being supported to find a solution to a problem. At the end of each session, the coachee will master new ways of thinking, actions to accomplish and will have better motivation. Depending on the clients' expectations, the coach can suggest other approaches.

➤ So what do the first individual coaching sessions look like? First, a first exploratory contact during which your expectations are examined, the nature of the request and the context are evaluated, a 'diagnosis' is discussed, taking into account your difficulties, your needs, your objective.
Then, it is a question of developing a precise procedure and proposing lines of work. A relationship of trust is gradually established through a benevolent alchemy, where listening, empathy and the absence of judgment are central.

➤ Thus, after having carried out together an initial assessment of the situation, a kind of inventory, it is a question of determining the objectives to be reached, the feelings and the questions related to the situation as well as proposing actions to achieve your goal, resolve constraining situations that stand in your way, using tools that will be offered to you according to your situation to get out of your comfort zone and change your perspective.

➤ The guide then asks questions aimed at exploring solutions aimed at achieving the objective, through experiments and exercises. Through various tools (drawing, role playing, metaphor, visualization, etc.), this questioning helps to change perspective, get out of an impasse in order to explore various options that you might not have thought of. this way, based on tools and experience. For example, it could be a new way of thinking about difficulties or another approach to identifying and considering resolving conflicts or a progression in terms of personal development or in terms of a career focusing always on the development of personal resources and self-knowledge.
At the start of the next meeting, the coachee begins with a summary of the activations and the evolution of the state from the last meeting. This step makes it possible to have an evaluation of the positive points and those which are less so in order to readjust the set strategy.

➤ Concretely, ONE SESSION = SOLUTIONS / proposals / concrete suggestions to put into practice for the next session in order to overcome blockages or improve self-knowledge.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

Hello you wonderful person! :-)
If you would like to learn to understand and appreciate yourself better, I hereby offer you the opportunity to walk part of your path of self-knowledge and self-discovery with me as your mentor and companion.

How? With mental training and personality development techniques.
I like to look behind a person's facade because there is so much to discover! ✨
Let’s create a-ha moments together and help you blossom!

Regardless of whether you have ADHD/ADD, social phobia or are highly sensitive (HSP), or simply don't fully understand why you sometimes - for example - react so ambivalently... I would like to work with you individually so that together we can discover your great sides and bring them to light, so that you too can live your true self and thus rest in your center and be more satisfied with yourself.

Note: To ensure quality, I do not offer this program as a single lesson, but as a booking package of at least 5 sessions.

I look forward to your inquiry so that I can start developing your potential. :-)

⚠️ Note: My native language is German. This offer is aimed at German-speaking people - although I am aware that this ad will be automatically translated into English. ⚠️

PS: By the way, I am LGBTQAI+ friendly and a non-smoker

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

It starts with you

When you are not with yourself
and decide for yourself,
others will not be able to learn from you,
how to love you.
They will follow you
and neglect you,
if you neglect yourself.
They will despise you,
as you despise yourself.

You will assume
that their opinion is also yours,
because you don't say yours.
They will ask you little,
but tell you a lot.
They will expect you
that you join in, laugh along, vote along
and do not ask, challenge or deny.

They will treat you like this,
how you treat yourself.
But if you value yourself,
if you take your inner life seriously,
if you listen to yourself
and doesn’t let anyone do anything to you,
then others will learn to respect you,
to honor and love.
It starts with you.

Hello, psychophiles! 👋

My name is Despoina, and I’m of Greek origin. Friends and family call me Debbie, so that’s how you’re going to call me too! 😊 I hold a degree in psychology and am a licensed professional in Greece, currently pursuing my MSc in Health Psychology!

I may have limited tutoring experience, but what I bring to the table is my limitless passion for psychology. My strong academic background, participation in several seminars (depression and psychotherapy, analytic group psychotherapy, somatic illnesses, etc.), as well as my internships (A21, Center for Talented Youth – CTY), have allowed me to explore psychology in greater depth and gain hands-on experience and valuable knowledge.

Are you curious about why people think, feel, and behave the way they do? Welcome to Unlocking the Mind, an engaging and thought-provoking psychology course designed for students (and not only!) eager to explore the depths of human behavior.

Psychology isn’t just a subject—it’s a window into understanding ourselves and the world around us. In this course, we’ll dive into various branches of psychology, from cognitive and behavioral to clinical and social, uncovering the fascinating mechanisms behind emotions, decision-making, memory, and personality.

But this isn’t your average lecture-style class! Expect dynamic discussions, real-world applications, and an interactive learning experience featuring educational videos, movie analyses, and thought-provoking case studies. I’ll also recommend must-read books to deepen your understanding of the field.

Whether you’re new to psychology or looking to expand your knowledge, this course will challenge your thinking and provide you with invaluable insights into the human mind. Classes will be tailored to your needs, ensuring a personalized and enriching experience.

In addition to the core topics, I’m also happy to assist with exam preparation, psychology assignments, or simply answer any questions you have about the field. If you love discussing psychology as much as I do, let’s dive into engaging conversations and explore the subject together!

Let’s explore the science of psychology together—because understanding the mind is the key to unlocking endless possibilities! 🧠📝💡✨

Biology is a fascinating area of study but can be difficult to understand. As a tutor, my job is help you build your confidence and build your understanding. My lessons involve using the students own text book to identify keys concepts based on the students own curriculum alongside other reading sources (for AP Biology, GCSE, International Baccalaureate, and first + second year University students).

I use materials such as whiteboard drawings to provide visual explanations and reinforce concepts. I also create practice questions to make students feel more confident in test preparation. I’m excited to get to know you and help build you confidence in biology! Together We will tackle biological concepts step by step and I hope to make you as excited to learn biology as I am

This class is designed for IB students who would like support with English, biology, or psychology at both SL and HL level. Lessons are personalised based on each student’s subjects, level, goals, strengths, and the areas they would like to improve or better understand.

I can help with revision, exam preparation, essay writing, analysis, understanding difficult concepts, structuring responses, developing effective study methods, and improving confidence with IB style questions and markscheme expectations. Lessons can focus on content understanding, analytical thinking, academic writing, revision techniques, or preparing for internal assessment depending on the student’s needs.

Having recently completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) in an international school fully taught in English, including biology HL, psychology HL, and English A language and literature, I understand both the academic demands of the IB and the challenges students often face when balancing content heavy subjects, analysis, and time management.

Lessons are supportive, engaging, and adapted individually to each student. Depending on the subject and student’s goals, classes can focus more on revision, exam technique, essay structure, textual analysis, active recall methods, concept explanation, or improving overall confidence and academic performance within the IB programme.

Are you curious about why people think, feel, and behave the way they do? Welcome to Unlocking the Mind, an engaging and thought-provoking psychology course designed for students (and not only!) eager to explore the depths of human behavior.

Psychology isn’t just a subject—it’s a window into understanding ourselves and the world around us. In this course, we’ll dive into various branches of psychology, from cognitive and behavioral to clinical and social, uncovering the fascinating mechanisms behind emotions, decision-making, memory, and personality.

But this isn’t your average lecture-style class! Expect dynamic discussions, real-world applications, and an interactive learning experience featuring educational videos, movie analyses, and thought-provoking case studies. I’ll also recommend must-read books to deepen your understanding of the field.

Whether you’re new to psychology or looking to expand your knowledge, this course will challenge your thinking and provide you with invaluable insights into the human mind. Classes will be tailored to your needs, ensuring a personalized and enriching experience.

In addition to the core topics, I’m also happy to assist with exam preparation, psychology assignments, or simply answer any questions you have about the field. If you love discussing psychology as much as I do, let’s dive into engaging conversations and explore the subject together!

Let’s explore the science of psychology together—because understanding the mind is the key to unlocking endless possibilities! 🧠📝💡✨

Biology is a fascinating area of study but can be difficult to understand. As a tutor, my job is help you build your confidence and build your understanding. My lessons involve using the students own text book to identify keys concepts based on the students own curriculum alongside other reading sources (for AP Biology, GCSE, International Baccalaureate, and first + second year University students).

I use materials such as whiteboard drawings to provide visual explanations and reinforce concepts. I also create practice questions to make students feel more confident in test preparation. I’m excited to get to know you and help build you confidence in biology! Together We will tackle biological concepts step by step and I hope to make you as excited to learn biology as I am

This class is designed for IB students who would like support with English, biology, or psychology at both SL and HL level. Lessons are personalised based on each student’s subjects, level, goals, strengths, and the areas they would like to improve or better understand.

I can help with revision, exam preparation, essay writing, analysis, understanding difficult concepts, structuring responses, developing effective study methods, and improving confidence with IB style questions and markscheme expectations. Lessons can focus on content understanding, analytical thinking, academic writing, revision techniques, or preparing for internal assessment depending on the student’s needs.

Having recently completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) in an international school fully taught in English, including biology HL, psychology HL, and English A language and literature, I understand both the academic demands of the IB and the challenges students often face when balancing content heavy subjects, analysis, and time management.

Lessons are supportive, engaging, and adapted individually to each student. Depending on the subject and student’s goals, classes can focus more on revision, exam technique, essay structure, textual analysis, active recall methods, concept explanation, or improving overall confidence and academic performance within the IB programme.
