👩⚕️ Dr. Parvy Palmou (she/her & they/them)
Gestalt Psychotherapist, Trainer & Supervisor
I specialize in Gestalt therapy and offer international workshops, seminars, and personalized training programs for psychotherapy institutes, psychology schools, universities, and corporate environments worldwide. My services include individual and group therapy sessions, both in-person across Greece and online, tailored to meet your unique needs. I have facilitated specialized trainings and experiential workshops across Europe, North America, and beyond, integrating Gestalt principles with contemporary therapeutic perspectives focused on diversity, inclusion, and affirmative practice. Holding a PhD from the University of Bolton, UK, my academic work centers on LGBTQI+ affirmative psychotherapy and Gestalt theory integration. I’ve collaborated with prestigious international institutions and presented at major events such as the IAAGT International Gestalt Conference (Mexico), ILGA-Europe Conferences, and other interdisciplinary forums. My training programs emphasize affirmative care, intersectionality, trauma-informed approaches, and diversity competence, designed for psychotherapy professionals, counselors, educators, and corporate trainers.
