Hara Mollas

Psychologist

“Failure is the mother of success”

I believe in empowering and encouraging my clients to reach their full potential.

 

Hara considers it a privilege to be entrusted with the role of guiding others towards healing and collaboratively exploring what it means to be human. This includes understanding that challenges can help us grow and learn.  Hara has a strong interest in working with clients in relation to their anxiety, depression, chronic pain and major life transitions. She believes that we don’t need to wait for things to go wrong to work on ourselves.  All clients can benefit from exploring and understanding themselves, as she believes that every person is competent of achieving one’s aspirations when motivation and resilience are fostered.

Hara has experience as a crisis counsellor at LifeLine, supporting clients who are suicidal. She also has experience working in occupational rehabilitation supporting clients with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, trauma and other issues.

She also speaks fluent Greek and Albanian!

Hara believes in a tailored and strength-based approach and draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Behavioural Activation, Polyvagal-Informed Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.

 

Outside the Therapy Room

One of my biggest passions is resistance weight training at the gym, as well as doing long distance running on Sunday mornings. I recently competed and won in a bodybuilding competition, and since then I have become more mindful of the needs of my body and mind.

Besides keeping fit and active, I enjoy spending time with my loved friends and family. Additionally, I am a big lover of watching the sunset at the beach.

What am I into right now?

I am currently reading “The Body Keeps the Score” – an inspiring story of how a group of therapists and scientists – together with their courageous and memorable patients – integrated recent advances in brain science, attachment research, and body awareness into treatments that can free trauma survivors from the tyranny of the past.

While reading this book, I am awed by the human resilience and by the power of our relationships – whether in the intimacy of home or in our wider communities – to both hurt and heal. It is a great reminder of the importance of our relationship with yourselves and the world, and it reminds me to always try and make the world a better place where possible!
