Where evidence, experience, intuition and spirituality meet

How much of who we are have we consciously chosen — and how much have we simply “inherited”?

For much of my professional life, I worked in psychology, exploring human behaviour, relationships, trauma, resilience and the systems that shape how we live and understand the world.

Over time, however, the questions became deeper — questions about consciousness, existence, freedom, intuition, spirituality and our capacity to live with greater awareness, authenticity and inner freedom.

About

Psychology and spirituality were never separate worlds for me.

PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY

Psychologist and observer of human experience

I am a psychologist, writer and lifelong student of the human experience. Originally from Greece, I have lived in the United Kingdom for more than three decades.

My professional journey has included work in forensic psychology and criminal-justice settings, as well as supporting people affected by violence, abuse, human trafficking and sex trafficking.

MISSION & PHILOSOPHY

Alongside my academic and professional background, spirituality, intuition and the deeper questions of existence have always been an important part of my personal journey.

Today, my work brings these worlds into conversation: Psychology & Consciousness • Evidence & Intuition • Critical Thinking & Inner Knowing, with a focus on Truth • Awareness • Freedom • Self-Knowledge • Meaning & Purpose.

The symbolism of the Tree of Life

Roots • Growth • Wisdom • Discernment • Intuition • Inner Knowing

The Tree of Life represents the connection between where we come from and what we are capable of becoming.

It reminds us that we can stay rooted without remaining still, grow without losing ourselves, and continue exploring with critical thinking.

A reminder to stay rooted in who we are, while at the same time remaining open to growth, deeper understanding and the mystery of existence.

The Four Lenses

Evidence • Logic • Experience • Intuition

EVIDENCEWhat can we observe, examine, measure or support with reliable evidence and sources?
LOGICWhat follows reasonably from the evidence — and what does not? Where does evidence-based thinking end and assumption begin?
EXPERIENCEWhat have we actually experienced, and how can we distinguish the experience itself from the interpretation we give it?
INTUITIONWhat do we perceive beyond immediate logical analysis — without assuming that our intuition is always right?

Open, but not gullible. Critical, but not cynical. Spiritual, but not dogmatic.

The Book

Beyond What I Was Taught

Truth • Consciousness • Freedom • Purpose
BEYOND WHAT
I WAS TAUGHT
Truth • Consciousness • Freedom • Purpose
Dr Katelenia Giakoumi
A DIFFERENT KIND OF INQUIRY

Beyond What I Was Taught explores the beliefs we have “inherited”, the systems that shape us, and the deeper questions surrounding truth, consciousness, freedom, existence and the meaning of life.

It does not ask the reader to adopt a new “truth”.

It invites them to examine, question, investigate and form their own conclusions through evidence, logic, experience and intuition.

The purpose of this book is to encourage the reader to think independently, question what is taken for granted, and remain open to different ways of understanding reality.

We do not have to choose between science and spirituality. We can explore both with an open mind, discernment and critical thinking.

Don’t believe me. Investigate it. Think for yourself.

The English edition is now available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats.
