💫𝕎𝕖𝕝𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕞𝕪 𝕡𝕒𝕘𝕖 💫 I'm Manuela, a qualified therapist. My greatest desire is to help people feel better with themselves and safe & connected to others.
RELOCATING INTO A NEW CULTURE AND SOCIAL CIRCLE As someone who has experienced migration and the changes and difficulties that come with it, I can deeply empathise with the journey and help you processing it.
ANXETY & DEPRESSION are complex emotions and can often stem from past experiences and relationships that have shaped how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. It is essential to recognise that they are not weaknesses but natural responses to life's challenges. They often arise from unmet emotional needs and the perception of lacking support. Through our work together, I will help you identify and address these unmet needs.
GOING THROUGH LOSS & GRIEF grief is a natural response to the pain of losing someone or something we deeply care about. My approach to helping you navigate through these difficult emotions is rooted in compassion, empathy, and a deep understanding of the grieving process.
IN COUPLE THERAPY THE CLIENT IS THE RELATIONSHIP
I'm currently training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I am passionate about helping couples navigate their relationship issues through the lens of attachment theory. In our therapy sessions, I will guide you in understanding and expressing your feelings, as well as help you recognise and validate your partner's emotions. I am dedicated to helping you build a secure bond, as it can act as a foundation for a fulfilling and intimate relationship. I am here to walk alongside you as you navigate the complexities of your relationship. Together, we will create a path towards a more fulfilling and emotionally connected partnership.
💫 CONTACT ME TODAY TO ORGANISE A 35-MINUTES INTRODUCTORY SESSION. 💫
💫You will define the goals while I take care of the process and methods in a context where you can feel safe and free to express yourself and explore your emotions.💫
My training in ART-THERAPY is GESTALT-based, which means we start our journey from what is PRESENT in the here and now.
At times it can be difficult to put thoughts and feelings into words. Through art therapy, I offer a safe and creative space for you to explore and express your feelings. Whether through painting, drawing, or sculpting, the artistic process allows us to externalise feelings and inner turmoil, providing us with a tangible representation of their emotions.
My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in HUMANISTIC PRINCIPLES.
👉 I SEE YOU AS A WHOLE, valuing their feelings, mind, body, and soul.
👉I believe in the power of an ACTIVE SELF where all our actions, both mental and physical, are directed towards providing STRUCTURE, MEANING, and fulfilling our BASIC-NEEDS .
👉One of the fundamental driving forces in our lives is the need for self-fulfillment, an inherent DRIVE TO GROW & DEVELOP as individuals. This perspective forms the core of my therapeutic work, allowing us to explore and normalise stuck places while DEPATHOLOGISING ISSUES.
My therapeutic work is informed by ATTACHMENT THEORY In the sessions I combine elements of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Systems Therapy (IFT).
👉We focus on your way of feeling SAFE & CONNECTING with others.
👉We work with EMOTIONS because they are central organising elements of our experience; they tell us what we need, help us create meaning, motivate us, communicate with others.
👉We address the inner struggle by giving voice to the different PARTS and understanding their role and needs.
