Trained in the field of humanistic psychotherapy, I offer different levels of interventions: from systemic coaching, to activating one’s resources and self-care strategies, to stepping out of the drama-triangle and into self-responsibility, all the way to deep trauma work. Most importantly, humanistic psychotherapy presumes that everything you need can be found or developed within. As I don’t have your answers, nor the power to do anything on your behalf, you will find in me an empathic, supportive, respectful and kind witness on your unique path towards healing, holding the space for self-discovery, loving self-acceptance and transformation from within.

In addition, working with shamanic healing methods is an essential part of my psycho-spiritual approach, as it incorporates the spiritual dimension to the body-mind approach of modern psychotherapy. For millennia, numerous cultures around the world have recognized and worked with our energy centers, or chakras within the body, which hold the key to past traumas and difficulties. Through the chakras we gain access to our "light body" – the energy field that surrounds every human being. Negative experiences are stored there and can be cleared and healed in various ways.

Examples are illuminations (cleansing of the affected chakra) or extracting stuck energies. Another technique is the soul retrieval, which is a practice of traveling to the unconscious realm of the soul to bring awareness to memories and dissociated parts of ourselves, and transform limiting beliefs. This process, which has been practiced for thousands of years, is very similar to hypnotherapy working with the inner child (such as IFS or Ego State Therapy). While both aim at integrating our shadow self and re-adjusting our relationship to ourselves and the world, energy work includes the spiritual/energetic level, which is increasingly acknowledged by western science (i.e. Quantum Physics).
