About me
I am passionate about non-violent communication and building bridges to understand one another.
Being German & Iranian, I grew up billingually & biculturally, which gave me an appreciation for the beauty of diversity. In culture, language, perspective, love, identity - anything. I celebrate people being themselves in their colourful 'weird' authenticity.
I planned to take over my mother's psychotherapy practice. From when I was young, I asked her everything and read about hard feelings, ways to cope, 'disorders' and so on. I worked as secretary in a therapeutic practice & volunteered in a psychosomatic clinic. 2015, I moved to the Netherlands to study Psychology & then decided that I wanted to give back to society another way (because of how the psychotherapeutic system works in Germany) & specialised into work psychology to make an impact in sustainable business.
However, I am still extremely passionate for helping each other grow! I became certified as a coach, which enables me to support others in a different professional way compared to therapy.
Integrity & honesty is important to me. I tell you now that I am not certified as a therapist & will not be able to adequately help you if you would need that kind of clinical help for a 'pathological' issue. However, I am qualified & motivated to support your non-clinical growth. I will listen. I will be curious. I will positively challenge you. I want to see you flourish.
I am neurodivergent and have embraced both the superpower and shortcomings of AD(H)D (which is a terrible name if you ask me). You don't need to mask with me.
I am polyamorous by identity & lifestyle choice & am happy to offer peer support. While I am by no means an expert, I am confident that I can fuse my professional & personal experience to support your own non-monogamous exploration & journey.
Regarding professional development & career support: I will help you find your trinity of passion, ability, & reward. Let's get in touch!

Approach
We will explore together how I can best support you. Together, we will find the tools and pathways to help you find your way. I am here to listen and hold space for you.
My approach is trauma-informed, & based on personal responsibility & agency. That means that I am not here to 'fix' you or do the work for you. I am here to enable you in your own process.
We will cooperatively work on what you wish support with. Personal growth is not linear, same as life. I am here for the loops, turns & twists.
I believe in learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Growth happens outside your comfort zone in a safe environment. I am here to provide one of these spaces for you.
Ruminations, excessive worries, fear, etc. can be helpful in their own way. They can show you what is important to you & what you feel threatened by. We will find ways to make these 'negative' emotions work for you. I am here to aid you in learning to appreciate the discomfort & to figure out the what and why you are feeling what you are feeling, - & how it can serve you.
I also believe in learning to see & use the resources you have. These are both within and around yourself. Strengths and weaknesses, your core values, self-compassion and -care, who is there to help you, communication styles, etc. I am here to help you find and realise them, to then effectively utilise them for yourself.
I consider myself among others LGTBQIA* friendly, sex-positive and kink-friendly. Regarding Awareness and Consent Culture: my as well as your perspective come with privileges and biases, which we will acknowledge and consider together.
