My name is George Fragakis. As a clinical psychologist and person-centered psychotherapist, my journey is one of continuous growth and exploration. Presently, I am a Ph.D. student and teaching assistant at the Université catholique de Louvain (in Belgium), where my research delves into intersectionality in person-centered therapy, the therapeutic dynamics of privilege and power, and the integration of spirituality in therapy. I also serve as a trainer in person-centered psychotherapy trainings both in Greece and Belgium.
I helped establish the Panhellenic Association of Professionals in the Person-Centered/Experiential Approach (PAPPCEA), serving on its board from 2019 to 2024. Currently, I am an elected board member of the Association Francophone de Psychothérapie Centrée sur la Personne et Expérientielle (AFPC) (2021-2024).
My professional path has been enriched by diverse collaborations. I have worked with the NGO Freedom Gate, interned at the Institute of Mental Health for Children and Adults in Athens, served at the 414 Military Hospital for Special Diseases, and supported LGBTQIA+ youth with the NGO Colour Youth.
If elected to the WAPCEPC board of directors, I aim to foster a spirit of openness and collaboration, inspired by Carl Rogers' vision. My focus will be on facilitating environments that support personal and professional development, continuous learning, and research on contemporary issues such as human rights, socio-political and ecological struggles, and eco-anxiety.
I am eager to contribute to WAPCEPC and work with dedicated professionals to advance our mission of promoting person-centered psychotherapy worldwide. Together, we can create a supportive, innovative, and inclusive environment for both therapists and clients!
Thank you for considering my candidacy!
With kindness,
George Fragakis
