About me

I am a long time expat, having lived in three countries to this point and raised third culture and trilingual children. I am a Counselling Psychologist (UK), a Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie (Germany) and a trained Dramatherapist with an interest in body-oriented therapies, as well as having practiced a number of holistic paths all my life: chi qong, Tai Chi, various paths of yoga, meditation, mindfulness, among others. I am a kundalini yoga teacher and dance Latin dances. I also have a research background and speak five languages.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Existential analysisRecommended for those who are searching for deeper meaning in life or are struggling with big questions about existence, freedom, and purpose.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.

I work within an Integrative framework, mainly encompassing existential phenomenology and constructionism, which means working with meaning in non-pathologising ways. My approach is underpinned by client-centred values and is tailored to the needs of each client. As an expat myself, I work sensitively with cultural difference and so-called, 'local' meanings (clients, meanings). I seek to empower the client to co-create meaning with me and find their own path forward .
