Sexism in Greece

Sofia Trypidaki

Systemic Psychotherapist & Social Worker
Gender Equality & Psychosocial Practice

Athens, Greece

I am a systemic psychotherapist and social worker working across clinical, community, and public engagement contexts.

My work integrates systemic, feminist-informed, and gender-sensitive approaches, with a focus on how gendered social structures, inequality, and relational dynamics shape psychological and lived experience.

Alongside my clinical practice, I facilitate group processes, workshops, and public engagement activities on gender equality, identity, psychosocial wellbeing, and social inclusion.

Collaboration

I collaborate with organisations, networks, and institutions working in gender equality, psychosocial wellbeing, and social inclusion.

My work translates systemic, feminist-informed, and psychosocial perspectives into applied formats such as workshops, facilitated dialogues, trainings, and public engagement sessions.

Typical collaboration formats include:

expert input and consultation on gender and psychosocial themes
facilitation of workshops, trainings, and group processes
participation in panels and public discussions
contribution to project-based or institutional initiatives

I am particularly interested in collaborations that connect lived experience, practice-based knowledge, and policy-relevant dialogue within gender equality contexts.
