About me

I am certified form East Asia where I developed 5 years of experience in the mental health field. Since then I relocated to Germany a few months ago so I can deeply understand the struggles and life challenges of a foreigner in a new country. Other than that I specialize with providing Psychological therapy to all age groups, along with Psychological assessment and counselling.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Couples therapySupport for couples working through problems and who want to gain insight into the relational dynamics that contribute to the problem.
Dream analysisDream analysis is the interpretation of dreams to explore their underlying meanings.
MindfulnessMindfulness is the process of maintaining a purposeful moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surrounding environment.
Music therapyRecommended for those who find it easier to express feelings or process emotions through music rather than talking.

I don't believe that therapy should be based on rules and structure but rather should be free-flowing and should adjust to how the person taking therapy feels comfortable in.
That is why my approach is that I cater to people based of the issues and problems they are discussing rather than to a systematic process. As a psychologist I believe the person taking therapy should be given space in a comfortable and relaxing environment and that they should have autonomy on how they want to better themselves. My clients describe me as the type of person who encourages and guides you to understand yourself, your needs, your feelings and what you want from life and the people around you.
