It’s always better to send me a message, because your feelings are unique, and it's natural to have doubts, even if you read something below that resonates with you.

On individual sessions I work with: — I can’t turn off my thoughts when I’m trying to fall asleep; — I can’t stand looking at myself in a mirror — I either want to cry or hurt myself; — I’m exhausted from constantly doing things; — I can’t choose the right partner; — I struggle to make decisions, whether it’s in a coffee shop, choosing a carrer or making life choices; — I feel like I’m falling into an abyss and can’t control anything; — I feel frustrated, even with the people I love; — I don’t trust men / women; — I feel guilty for almost everything I do, maybe even for just existing; — I’ve lost something—someone. A Home. A Partner. My sense of direction; — I feel so lonely, and I can’t handle my emotions on my own; — I’m always ‘the bad one’. I feel angry, I don’t like things, I don’t get softer when others do; — I don’t want to leave my house; — I don’t know who I am; — I feel like I’m missing out my own life; — I’m scared — something has changed; — I can’t be alone with myself; — I can’t cry. Even when I want to, the tears just don’t come.

On couple sessions I work with: — It feels like we’re stuck in the way we handle our relationship; — They just don’t want to listen to me. When I try to talk, they leave the room, go silent, or say something like, "Let’s talk tomorrow." — There’s a cold distance between us; — We lost a baby/pregnancy, and something changed between us after that; — We keep going in circles with our arguments, repeating the same pattern every time; — They cheated. Is there any chance for us to recover as a couple? — We’re having a baby. We’re excited but also scared; — They keep pushing me to talk, and it’s overwhelming. I don’t know how to explain that I need more space; — We’re a couple, but it feels like we’re just roommates sharing an apartment.
