About me
I have always been fascinated by what drives us in life, and what helps us to overcome difficulties:
* Why do we do what we do?
* Why do some people navigate life with ease, while others get stuck?
* What makes a difference when trying to overcome crises?
* What helps us grow?
* What works well?
To be of the best help for others, I’ve always believed that both life experienc and professional knowledge are key.
My journey through various roles in personal and professional life, as well as living and working in different cultures, has deeply shaped my understanding of the human condition. Along the way, my knowledge of mental health has continuously deepened through both life and formal training.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Systemic ApproachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.
Systemic:
The idea that your challenges aren't just about you as an individual, but are deeply connected to the systems you live in, like your family or workplace. Instead of looking for "what's wrong with you", we explore the unconscious patterns and dynamics that happen between you and others. By understanding these connections, you can discover new ways to react and communicate that break old, stuck cycles.
Systemic attitude: Any of your emotions, thoughts and reactions, however much you dislike them, in the end, they want the best for you. Let's see and find out what it is, and how we can work with them.
