Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
LogotherapyRecommended for those who are searching for meaning and purpose in life to guide their healing process.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.

Different clients might need to focus more on their past (Psychodinamic approach); present (CBT approach) or future (Logotherapeutic approach). Therefore I seek to integrate these different theoretical models according to the specific needs and goals of each client.

My clinical practice is based on the following basic beliefs :

  • Each human being has infinite value and dignity; is free and therefore responsible; is able to grow, to love and to contribute to the community.
  • Human dignity doesn't depend on the persons' productivity, autonomy or social skills.
  • "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.” (Viktor Frankl)
