Approach

Treatment Approaches
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.

I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space in which clients can speak openly and freely about what is on their mind. In our sessions, nothing is “too small” or unimportant to explore. Together, we may look at present difficulties as well as past experiences, recurring patterns in relationships, internal conflicts, and emotions that may be difficult to understand or put into words. 

My approach is exploratory rather than prescriptive. Rather than focusing solely on reducing symptoms, I work with clients to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and of the ways in which their past and present experiences may be connected. The aim is to foster greater emotional clarity, self-understanding and freedom in how they relate to themselves and others.

Individual Session

€80 50 min Text
This session is conducted via written chat in real time and follows the same structure as a standard therapy session (50 minutes). It offers a space to reflect, explore thoughts and emotions, and work through personal difficulties at a slower, more deliberate pace. This format may be particularly helpful for those who feel more comfortable expressing themselves in writing or who benefit from having time to think before responding. Please not that chat sessions are not suitable for emergencies.
