About me
Through my experience, (self-)studies and therapeutic work, I've learned a lot about the human psyche, behavioural change, emotional regulation, mindfulness, honest communication, trauma processing, somatic experiencing, problem-solving, authentic relating and the healing power of loving relationships, and the importance of taking responsibility for one's life and accepting who one is.
During my psychology studies, I gained the most from setting up and participating in a peer-support group where we openly explored our experiences. I learned to cultivate attitudes of unconditional positive regard, genuineness and empathic understanding towards myself and others. I learned how to receive others more wholly and help them come closer to themselves by immersing myself in their experience as best as I could.
During my work as a counsellor, I've worked with people from all over the world from various backgrounds dealing with a wide range of problems related to work, relationships, substance use, (developmental) trauma, emotional neglect, racism and other forms of discrimination, low self-worth, lack of meaning, depression, suicidality, anxiety, feeling and expressing emotions, standing up for oneself, obsessions, compulsions and much more.

My approach
I aim to create an empathic, accepting and understanding climate to openly explore your experience, work through traumas, develop greater self-understanding, learn to feel your experience and embody your emotions, come to accept yourself, solve or transcend your problems, and find meaning in your challenges. I see therapy as a collaborative process between you and me, in which we encounter each other with genuine openness and the shared desire to help you heal, expand and thrive. A process to be approached with compassion, curiosity and sensitivity, and enjoyed with creativity, presence and humor.
My primary role as your counsellor is to help you help yourself by creating a facilitative environment to process your past, tackle present challenges and tap into your potential for growth. I aim to cultivate your ability to live authentically, establish meaningful relationships and pursue your life goals. To that end, I develop a personalized therapy attuned to your specific needs and struggles by integrating various therapeutic schools, mindfulness approaches and embodiment practices, in a spiritually informed body-oriented talk therapy. With this approach, I can help you work on a wide range of symptoms, challenges and aspirations and live towards the future you dream of.
Among other modalities, I work with Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing and EMDR. And continue to expand my practice with what I learn from books, supervision, training, and personal experience.
Free first consultation session, for you to experience my approach and get a sense of what it's like to work with me.
Practicalities:
- 50-minute online or in-person sessions
- Weekly or bi-weekly sessions are the norm but frequency can be adjusted to your needs and desires
- Intake form and contract when we decide to work together
- Monthly invoices
