About me

I’m originally from Romania and have lived and studied abroad for more than 11 years, moving between different countries, cultures and communities. These experiences have deeply shaped who I am and also the way I understand therapy. They have made me especially curious about identity, connection, belonging, and the ways our experiences and environments shape who we become.

I’ve always been fascinated by the human mind and by what lies beneath the ways we think, feel and relate to others. As a therapist, I want to offer a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and explore yourself with curiosity and compassion, including the parts of you that may feel difficult, confusing or disconnected.

I believe therapy is not about changing who you are, but about developing a deeper understanding of yourself and creating the freedom to choose how you want to live and relate to others.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Couples therapySupport for couples working through problems and who want to gain insight into the relational dynamics that contribute to the problem.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Trauma informed careRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.

My approach is integrative and holistic, meaning that I look at the connection between the mind and body, while also helping you understand your patterns on a deeper level. I believe our thoughts, emotions and physical experiences are all connected, and that understanding these connections can help us make sense of what we are going through. My approach is deeply personalised, adapting to your unique needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all method.

Therapy with me is not about quick fixes. I believe meaningful change comes from understanding where our patterns come from and approaching our inner world with curiosity, compassion and without judgement. My practice is focused on trauma-informed and compassion-focused principles, Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and my background in Social and Cultural Psychology. This allows us to explore not only what you are experiencing now, but also the relationships, cultural experiences and environment that have shaped you. We can combine practical tools with deeper self-exploration, always moving at your pace.
