About me

I am a CBT psychotherapist in training and a psychologist with a strong background in cognitive-behavioural and relational approaches. My work combines evidence-based methods with attentiveness, clarity and deep respect for each person’s lived experience. I support adults dealing with anxiety, chronic stress, perfectionism, overthinking, low self-esteem, panic, relational difficulties and the emotional consequences of long-term pressure both personal and professional. In therapy, I focus on psychological safety, collaboration and meaningful, lasting change. I treat the therapeutic process as a structured yet flexible space, where we explore the beliefs, patterns and emotional habits that shape your daily life. Together we identify what strengthens you, what burdens you, and how to move toward a more grounded, balanced experience of yourself. My role is to help you regulate your nervous system, build healthier boundaries, work through shame and self-criticism, and develop skills that support resilience and self-compassion. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over two decades working in international corporate environments, leading large teams and navigating high-stakes responsibilities. This experience gives me a unique understanding of the emotional reality behind performance: the pressure to cope, the fear of judgement, patterns of overwork, burnout, people-pleasing, workplace anxiety and the silent load carried by high-achieving professionals. Today I integrate this perspective into my therapeutic work offering my clients both psychological expertise and a grounded, realistic grasp of the challenges modern adults face. I aim to create a space that is steady, supportive and transformative, where change is not just possible, but sustainable.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
Schema therapyRecommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating.
I work within a cognitive-behavioural framework combined with a relational perspective. Therapy focuses on understanding the patterns that maintain distress — including overthinking, emotional tension, perfectionism and self-criticism — and gradually changing them in a way that is realistic and sustainable. Our work may include: – recognising and modifying unhelpful beliefs – improving emotional awareness and regulation – strengthening boundaries and self-esteem – developing practical strategies for everyday functioning Sessions provide a calm, structured space where you can slow down, reflect and better understand what is happening internally — without judgement or pressure. The aim is not only symptom relief, but long-term psychological stability and change.
