About me
I’m a professional counselor since 2008, after working for many years with international companies, within the communication area. My approach is humanistic/gestalt integrated, which means that I strongly believe everyone has the ability and power to reach greater awareness of oneself, a renewed confidence and ability to define one’s choices in life; these last 3 years, following a personal need and experience I specialised in Grief Counseling to better support people facing losses in their life (a beloved one, a job, a relationship). I'm a Bach Flower practitioner too and this allows me to integrate this gentle therapy to heal emotions. I am passionate about Nature and wild life, so I decided to use my experience with Dr. Bach Flowers to take care of animals which lives with humans and have some relationship troubles.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
In a "not judging", warm space you can share with me your threats, hurts, dreams and challenges to find out new perspectives, resources, opportunities and actions. My approach is humanistic/gestalt integrated (C. Rogers' client centered theory is the foundation of my attitude), which means that I strongly believe everyone has the ability and power to reach greater awareness of oneself, a renewed confidence and ability to define one’s choices in life; my work is to light up people’s inner tools, resources and beauty to reach the different goals they want.
