About me

I'm a clinical psychologist who focused on social and cultural psychology during my studies. I've always been interested in the influence of our cultural and social environment on how we feel, think and behave. Since 2016, I've been working for a humanitarian organisation providing psychosocial support to refugees and migrants (IPSO), where I had the opportunity to learn the VBC® (Value-Based Counseling) approach and gain years of experience as a counselor, trainer and supervisor. In my experience, I've learned that people are the "experts of themselves" and that once they are given the opportunity to share, reflect and acknowledge their inner experience in a safe and supportive environment, they can eventually unfold their potential to achieve a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
I mostly work according to the VBC®-approach, which is a form of short-term intervention developed based on the psychodynamic principles of Jungian analytical psychology and combines elements of different approaches and theories (Rogers, Antonovsky, Bandura, Frankl and others). An important component of this approach is a special attention to the individual's values, cultural background, and current social environment in order to fully understand the world of unique meanings of a client´s inner experience. It is this inner world that will be explored together during the sessions, giving both of us the opportunity to understand it, discuss it and work together to find a solution that is in harmony with your values, desires and unique life experience. I also offer emotional support grounded in a client-centred approach for those seeking a safe, empathetic, and professional space to talk openly about their problems and challenges. I additionally offer the opportunity to conduct 1-to-1 sessions in unconventional settings, such as parks, nature, museums or cafés. Contact me for more information.

Experience
