About me
I am a psychologist and a gestalt therapist. I started my own practice as a therapist and a counsellor four years ago, but my career started 17 years ago in the field of aviation. I work online and in person with people who want to develop the understanding of themselves and their lives. The topics around this might be different but the center is - inner world of my clients. I have an aviation engineer background, i am also a Human Factors instructor, and mainly a human. In this long process and shift between my background and my new passion I understood that i have searched "knowing how" question in the wrong place. Being a therapist gave me meaning about "knowing how" in a very beautiful and profound for me way. I am really interested in human nature and exploring it deeper is very transforming for me.
Being a therapist is giving me a meaningful and enriching perspective of life.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
Systemic ApproachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.
My approach is centered around the main need of the client. The therapeutic process is nondirective, non-judgmental and supportive. I am working with different clients in different stages of their life. In my practice i work with different topics related to questions close to : Who am I? What is my need? What do i feel? Where do i stand in my life? What brought me in my current situation? What are my mechanisms and models? Do i need all them now?
I work in both short term and long-term therapy depending on the needs of the client.
I prefer the focus of the therapy to be on the question of 'how' rather than 'why.' This approach allows for a more holistic and authentic way of being present. It gives me and my clients the chance to be who I am, not who I am expected to be. The beauty of gestalt and life is connected to humanity, and there is no greater act of humanity than being there for another person who needs support.
