Grațiela Sion, PhD
I am a trainer and supervisor within the “J. L. Moreno” Psychodrama Society in Cluj and an accredited specialist in private practice psychotherapy by the Romanian College of Psychologists. I also serve as a trainer and delegated supervisor within the Psychodrama Association for Europe e.V.
In addition, I am trained as an art therapy trainer at L’Atelier in Geneva, an institution founded by Jacques Stitelmann.


I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department for Teacher Training at Spiru Haret University in Bucharest. For more than fifteen years, I coordinated the Developmental Psychology discipline within the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences.


At present, I teach courses in Educational Psychology, School Counselling, and the Psychopedagogy of Adolescence, Youth, and Adulthood. I also coordinate the course “Introduction to Psychodrama” within the Master Degree Programme in Clinical Psychology and Psychological Intervention.


Throughout my academic and professional career, I have authored books, academic articles, and university course materials. For over two decades, I have facilitated training, therapeutic intervention, personal development, and support groups.


I am a founding member and Vice-President of the Romanian Society of Victimology. My research interests focus particularly on psychotraumatology, victimology, and gender-based violence. I am also a member of the MiStory International Lab at Michigan University.


My professional work is guided by a strong commitment to integrating academic knowledge, clinical practice, creativity, and human connection. I am particularly interested in developing approaches that support both individual and collective processes of healing, learning, and transformation.
