My Approach

I trained in existential, integrative, person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural therapy.
I have done extensive trainings in trauma and trauma treatments and I am also a trained therapist in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET).
I believe life can be complex and different therapeutic tools and skills can enable more effective interventions.
I give the highest important to the therapeutic alliance, connection and the safety & confidentiality of the therapeutic space.
I integrate practices from different modalities whilst I honour an existential stance at core. This stance values the importance of responsibility, authenticity , fluidity and the relational aspect of human existence. I believe as humans we are in a constant process of becoming and I aim at supporting clients in their search for meaning through an attitude of wonder and open-mindedness.
