Here are a few things about me, that might help you decide to get in touch:
My first job, before anything else, is to offer you a safe and warm environment. Acceptance, respect and trust are vital for working through meaningful personal topics. I am here not only to empower you to manage life’s challenges healthily but also to model a secure attachment.
You might first ask me for one specific type of help and then, through conversation, we might discover that you need something else from therapy. I am always keen to explore your true needs, right from the beginning. We will then set goals together, to make sure we keep on track and use our time and energy wisely.
At times, I might gently challenge you to try a different solution or way of thinking, that you haven’t thought about before. I am here to both validate and empower you, to help you reach new heights in your personal development.
I am Romanian and have been an expat in the Netherlands myself since 2013. If you’re looking for someone who can relate to this side of your identity, or if you prefer talking in Romanian, I’m your person.
I specialise in systemic therapy. This means that we can talk in-depth about your circumstances, patterns of behaviour and relationships. It is a practical and explorative approach, which helps us find viable solutions. I also integrate elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), systemic therapy, schema therapy, mindfulness and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) into my therapeutic approach, depending on my client’s specific situation.
