About me

My background is in psychology, and my approach is informed by CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and CFT (Compassion-Focused Therapy). In my work, I combine structured, practical techniques with a warm, compassionate style, helping clients build emotional skills, reduce overwhelm, and strengthen confidence in daily life. As an expat myself, I understand the unique pressures of living abroad: adapting to a new culture, navigating uncertainty, feeling isolated, or questioning your identity and direction. I’m happy to support people in similar situations, offering a steady, non-judgmental space and tools you can use immediately. I work gently, at your pace. Together we clarify what you’re struggling with, identify what maintains the problem, and practice strategies that support resilience, self-compassion, and real-life change.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
CFT: Compassion-Focused TherapyRecommended for those who want to be kinder to themselves and reduce negative self-talk, often using mindfulness techniques.
I work in a structured and collaborative way. My style is warm and direct: we focus on what’s actually happening in your day-to-day life and build practical skills you can use between sessions. I start with a clear assessment to understand your symptoms, triggers, and goals, and we agree on a treatment plan that feels realistic. I explain the “why” behind what we do, so therapy doesn’t feel mysterious or endless. Sessions are active and goal-oriented: we track patterns, test new strategies, and adjust based on what helps.

Therapy, to me, means being seen, understood, and heard even on your darkest days, sharing what you have been carrying on your shoulders and finding better days again, together with only trust and empathy.
