Why talk to me

My psychotherapeutic approach is rooted in humanistic principles, emphasizing empathy, authenticity, and the innate potential every individual has for growth. Drawing on person-centred work, I create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their experiences. I integrate Gestalt techniques to heighten self-awareness and promote present-moment engagement. Using NLP, I support clients in reframing limiting beliefs and fostering empowerment.

Somatic experiencing helps to process and release trauma held in the body, while systemic family constellations uncover and heal intergenerational patterns. Incorporating transactional analysis, I help clients understand and transform patterns in their relationships and communication. This integrative approach allows me to tailor therapy to each individual, fostering deep transformation and self-discovery.

I have 600+ hours of training & supervision to deal with a variety of issues like:

• "I want to deal with my anxiety"
• "I want to grow & change my own behavior patterns"
• "I want to handle stress better"
• "I am an overthinker"
• "I want to heal from trauma"
• "I am feeling very sad/low"
• "I want to recover from my breakup"
