Approach

Treatment Approaches
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.

I start the therapy process with few assessment sessions and then a feedback session with parents where I explain my views of the possible reasons for their referral. I mostly work with emotional problems and symptoms that children have. In therapy sessions I use psychodynamic play therapy to help children explore their emotions and gain self-agency. I keep the parents in the process and work with them too by having parent sessions around once in a month (this period can be longer or shorter depending on the needs of the child and the parents).

With adolescents I start the process individually with them and include parents as much as adolescent feels comfortable to.

You are feeling lost, stuck or uninspired; have the feeling that nothing works. Then maybe it's a good time to start talking to someone about it. Being able to inspire others could come as a side effect.

"Psychoanalysis is about speaking freely, without silencing your thoughts. Gradually, a new meaning emerges from your own words, surprises you, and dissolves, taking the pain away with it."
