About me
I have professional interests – what I work with most and best:

- Borderline personality disorder and other severe emotion regulation problems.
- Autism spectrum disorders. We work with autistic clients to treat co-occurring disorders, I help them to learn skills that can be helpful and to build a full and joyful life.
Some other problems I work with:
- Anxiety and depressive disorders (including panic disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety)
- Bipolar affective disorder
- Personality disorders
- Suicidal ideations, self-harming behaviour
- Obsessive compulsive disorder
- Therapy for neurodiverse clients

You don’t have to have a diagnosis to come and see me: if you feel that you need specialist help to deal with what is happening to you, that’s enough. If you feel that there are confusing things going on in your life – you can come with that and we’ll work out together what’s going on and what to do about it.
My work is my main interest and what I enjoy most is working with clients to understand how their problems work and what we can change together to make things better. I work in cognitive behavioural approaches because I am focused on finding answers to life’s puzzles and working solutions to problems.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and Commitment TherapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
DBT: Dialectical Behavior Therapy Recommended for those who want to learn skills to manage intense emotions and improve their relationships, especially if they feel easily overwhelmed.
I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) approaches.
Psychotherapy is a clearly structured process with a certain logic, and it involves regular sessions. One-time or chaotic meetings most likely will not lead to the desired result.
Cognitive behavioral therapy consists of several stages:
1) Clarification of the problems and goals of therapy, information gathering, drawing up a conceptualization about client's situation together with client.
2) Summarizing how the problem maintain itself and how it functions. Discussion of the therapy plan.
3) Work on goals in accordance with evidence-based protocols and common sense.
4) Anti-relapse work, booster (support) sessions, completion of therapy.
Usually meetings take place once a week. In some cases meetings take place 2 times a week or 2 times a month.
The duration of the psychotherapy depends on the protocol recommendations, as well as the individual request.
