About me

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience in mental health, specializing in Schema Therapy, CBT, and Art Therapy. My work focuses on the assessment, treatment, and supervision of complex clinical cases, including chronic trauma, CPTSD, personality disorders, and relational difficulties in adults, adolescents, and families. Alongside clinical practice, I am actively engaged in training, supervision, and organizational capacity building at national and international levels, with a strong emphasis on ethical practice, child protection, and evidence-based, integrative psychological care.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and commitment therapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Leadership coachingHelps managers and professionals build skills such as communication, decision-making, and conflict resolution to become more effective leaders.
Schema therapyRecommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating.

My therapeutic work is integrative, relational, and evidence-based, grounded primarily in Schema Therapy and enriched by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Art Therapy. I work with a strong emphasis on safety, attunement, and the therapeutic relationship, viewing change as something that develops through a combination of emotional connection, structured intervention, and reflective understanding.

I pay close attention to unmet emotional needs, and maladaptive coping patterns, while focusing on clients’ present-day functioning and goals. In my work with complex trauma, CPTSD, and personality-related difficulties, I use a paced and compassionate approach that balances emotional depth with stabilization, skill-building, and clear boundaries.

I collaborate actively with clients, adapting interventions to their cultural context, and personal resources. Sessions may include experiential techniques, cognitive and behavioral strategies, imagery, and creative or symbolic methods when appropriate. Throughout the process, I aim to strengthen clients’ sense of agency, self-compassion, and capacity for healthy relationships, supporting sustainable change rather than symptom management alone.
