About me
I'm a native English speaker and love working with people from all around the world.
Born in Prague, in the Czech Republic, I moved to Switzerland at age 4 and grew up in a very international community for 15 years. I then spent many years living in the UK and the Netherlands. As an expat through and through, I have always been very curious and open-minded, though it has not come without its challenges e.g. where are you from? where is home? ... :)
I take a holistic approach to understanding you, your life story and current problems. I believe that everything in life is connected, and that to truly understand you, I must take all aspects of your life into consideration. Not just your thoughts, emotions and behaviors, but also your lifestyle, health, identity, habits, relationships, home, culture and so on.
I am especially interested in the field of women's health. I chose to do my master's thesis on the topic of menstrual cycle phases and mood in women. I consider this area to be hugely under-researched, but extremely important. So if you struggle with premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), premenstrual exacerbation (PME) or anything related to hormonal health, I would love to help you.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Menstrual coachingRecommended for those who want to better understand their menstrual cycle and learn how to manage their emotions and energy throughout the month.
I am calm, empathic and non-judgmental, and work in an organized and transparent way. Our mutual understanding and therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance to me, so I always strive for mutual comfort and understanding. I will also often ask for your feedback: what is working for you & what is not, so that we can keep fine tuning our focus on your goals and progress.
I am primarily trained in cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), which is a structured, shorter-term, and present-oriented therapy, in which you and I work collaboratively to achieve your goals. It's more of a solution-oriented approach, which is very effective for specific issues related to anxiety and depression.
Often, and especially for more complex issues, I also draw from other therapeutic approaches including schema therapy, DBT and when appropriate utilise mindfulness and body-based practices.
I will give you things to work on in between sessions and over time you will build a toolkit of skills and resources that you can use independent…my ultimate goal is to support you in living your ideal life.
