About me

Specializing in humanistic psychotherapy, my approach is grounded in EMPATHY and genuine wholehearted ACCEPTANCE OF MY CLIENTS. Recognizing the uniqueness of every individual, I customize an array of techniques to meet their specific needs, offering comprehensive therapeutic counselling since 2011. My expertise extends to COUPLES THERAPY, where I leverage the Gottman approach to tackle relationship issues effectively. I have also undergone training in Process Oriented Psychology and Individual Systemic Therapy to better understand the psychological and physical processes involved in resolving internal and relationship issues. My diverse experience includes 40 courses and workshops in various styles of bodywork, such as bioenergetics, biosynthesis, and shiatsu, as well as psychodrama and theatrical improvisation. I offer a SAFE, NON-JUDGEMENTAL SPACE for individuals and couples to express their emotions and navigate difficult situations. As an online psychotherapist, I am privileged to work with expatriates and foreigners, drawing enriching insights from their diverse backgrounds. Having lived and worked in the UK and Germany for an extended period, I understand the challenges that come with navigating different studying, working, and living environments. My work is not limited to psychotherapy, but also extends to mentoring, leveraging my experiences in environmental consultancy and corporate roles.

My approach

At the heart of my practice lies a supportive environment built on EMPATHY and ACCEPTANCE. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe and comfortable to explore your deepest FEELINGS, THOUGHTS, and EXPERIENCES. I understand that seeking therapy can be challenging, but I assure you that I will be with you every step of the way, guiding you towards a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns that you follow. Together, we will work towards POSITIVE CHANGE in your life, identifying BARRIERS that are preventing you from achieving your GOALS and exploring areas where you may feel stuck or overwhelmed by negative emotions. Through mindfulness and other therapeutic techniques, I'll provide you with the tools to navigate these challenges, helping you achieve balance and happiness. Regardless how much you like to be in your head, I will show you methods how to get in touch with your body and express and accept what you feel (using Focusing method). Learn how to give yourself what you missed in the childhood and thus eleviate your pain. During COUPLES THERAPY sessions, I use the Gottman Method, which consists of a thorough ASSESSMENT and a series of EFFECTIVE INTERVENTIONS. We will use powerful techniques to deepen friendship and intimacy in your relationship, to help you productively manage conflicts, and appreciate your relationship’s strengths. I want you to know that your well-being and confidentiality are my top priorities. I approach each session with compassion, care, and a commitment to helping you achieve your goals.
