‘Psychology for All’ wraps up with three inspiring presentations

‘Psychology for All’ open seminar series run by our Psychology Department concluded successfully for another academic year with three interesting events presented by inspirational lecturers in May 2015.

Ms. Emilia Axiotidou discussed the difficult yet wonderful years of adolescence in her presentation ‘Puberty: Tightrope Walking Elephants’

Ms. Emilia Axiotidou, Psychoeducator and Family Counsellor, discussed the difficult yet wonderful years of adolescence in her presentation ‘Puberty: Tightrope Walking Elephants’. Ms. Axiotidou explained that puberty is the phase when children become adults and this transition comes with many physical and emotional changes hard to deal with. During her presentation she discussed with parents ways to deal with their teenagers at home and advised them to take into consideration and respect the individuality of each person, to try to guide them with care and love in order to avoid tension at home and prepare them to open their wings.

Ms. Maria Matiaki, delivered a speech on ‘The Role of Self-awareness in Professional Life’

Ms. Maria MatiakiDirector of our Department of Student and Alumni Affairs and Career Counsellor, delivered a speech on ‘The Role of Self-awareness in Professional Life’. Ms Matiaki argued that the only way to achieve fulfillment and self-realisation through professional career is to practice inner search and achieve a good level of self-awareness. In that way, talents, beliefs, values and skills can be revealed and show the way to professional success. “Career counselling aims at coaching people to develop self-awareness, thus make the best possible decisions and take the steps necessary for professional success,” said Ms. Matiaki.

Dr Angelo Rodafinos delivered a speech on ‘Problem solving with the Ro method’

And finally, what best way to complete this year’s ‘Psychology for All’ series than with a presentation by the person that created the series in 2010? Dr Angelo Rodafinos, Authorised Officer – Plagiarism, Swinburne Online Education and Formed Head of our Psychology Department, returned to the ‘Psychology for All’ series to deliver a speech on ‘Problem solving with the Ro method’. Dr Rodafinos shared with the audience ways in which we can live a happier life and concluded by advising the audience to tackle their problems by either changing the problematic situation or –if that is not possible – change the way they approach the situation each time.
