Support that feels clear and personal

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, understanding and compassion, with the aim of co-creating a non-judgemental space where the individual can feel safe to express their genuine true self, explore their feelings and thoughts in their own pace, so as to gradually reach their goals and dreams. Progress and change can sometimes feel painful for us all, while the process of working towards our goals isn't always linear- and that's ok! It's part of what makes us beautifully flawed and human - progress goes in every direction and in all kinds of paces. It's uniquely your goal and your progress with it, no right or wrong. My intention is that I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique & specific needs in gentle but boundaried manner. My top priority is to meet you where you are- whether you are working towards insight, symptom/s, relief or change. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, strenght and will power to work towards a more fullfilling and happier life.

How I work

How I work

My approach to therapy is mainly synthetic (integrative), which simply means that I combine techniques and strategies from various counselling modalities. Given the knowledge I have gained from 2 long therapy trainings I have attended so far, I draw influence from Psychoanalytic approach and Integrative Psychotherapeutic approach. As a person and a practitioner, I hold the lifeview that every human being is a 'product' of our closest relationships, our environment and our family systems. Within those circumstances, I support and trust that each individual is doing their best within their capacity and given the resources they have/had available.

What your first session may look like

What your first session may look like

In the first session we will get to know each other a bit, I will be able to listen and understand more about which are your struggles at the moment so I can support you the best way I can; we will also have the chance to talk about what are your current goals from your therapy.

I may not be the right fit if

I may not be the right fit if

You need urgent crisis support, a diagnosis or specialist treatment that I am not qualified to provide- which I will certainly de transparent and honest about.
