My Approach

I focus on humanistic and relational aspect of psychotherapy. It means that I work in a collaborative way to support my clients in their journey of self-discovery and personal change during the process of therapy.

In my therapeutic work I’m guided by ethical principles of equality (‘I’m OK and You’re OK), attention and respect to the clients’ needs and choices. I believe in each person’s ability to develop their potential that leads to change, autonomy and spontaneity. These elements are key components of personal life satisfaction and are the base of building satisfactory intimate relationships.

I am a member of UKCP and EATA (European Association of Transactional Analysis) and I follow the Code of Ethics and professional requirements of these psychotherapeutic bodies.
