About me
As a licensed psychologist and certified clinical neuropsychologist, I've spent much of my life exploring the world's psychological landscapes, both in my own travels and through my practice. From the cultural crossroads of China to the rich heritage of England, my international experiences as an expat have given me unique insights into the struggles and triumphs of adjusting to different cultures - an asset in understanding and aiding my clients through diverse challenges.
I have extensive experience in treating conditions related to ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, and personality disorders. I also work with highly gifted individuals, as well as those with artistic inclinations.
Apart from my private clinical practice, I also contribute to the field of psychology as a translator and researcher. I've brought to light the works of esteemed authors such as Murray Stein, Edward Edinger, and Joanna LaPrade, translating intricate themes such as bereavement, psychosis, creativity, active imagination, spiritual crisis, and social unrest. These themes resonate in my daily work with clients, reflecting the complexity of human experience.
As a researcher, my work has delved into detailed case studies on complex issues, including personality disorders such as BORDERLINE Personality, psychedelics and PSYCHOSIS, and a study on a Ukrainian REFUGEE with PTSD, presented at Essex University. These topics, along with modern politics, have been the focus of my presentations at institutions like Universidad de Salamanca and the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) events in Buenos Aires, Uruguay, and Zürich.

“Just wanted to say thank you for all your wisdom and support. I really enjoyed today's session
- something clearly fell off of my chest, as normally I would feel a bit gloomy after a session, but today I felt lighter and filled with hope :) It is great working with you!”

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Jungian analysisRecommended for those interested in diving deep into their unconscious mind to better understand themselves and grow emotionally.
Schema therapyRecommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.
My primary goal is to help you gain a deeper understanding of the experiences that have contributed to your current psychological challenges. Together, we will explore ways to adapt and manage daily demands, fostering changes in habits and attitudes that open new perspectives. These changes will enable you to navigate challenges with confidence and clarity.
We will also work together to envision a clearer, more attainable future—one where you can fulfil your goals and dreams.
My practice is rooted in Schema Therapy, an approach developed by Jeffrey Young. This method helps individuals identify and transform deep-seated patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior, known as schemas. These patterns often originate from unmet emotional needs during formative periods of life.
As part of the third wave of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy is designed to address complex emotional issues that traditional CBT often struggles to resolve completely. By a blend of various techniques, this approach provides practical, measurable tools that encourage self-awareness and accountability, paving the way for a more balanced and mature life.
In addition, my work incorporates elements of Carl Jung’s Analytical Psychology, which views life’s challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation. By examining symbols and underlying patterns such approach broadens the understanding of internal processes, allowing for profound and secure insights. Combining these perspectives allows for a comprehensive and integrated exploration of your experiences.
