SERVICES

If you’re looking for therapy that is integrated and tailored to your specific needs, individual therapy with me might be the right step for you. Book your first session today or get in touch if you have any questions.

INTEGRATIVE & PERSONALISED

As a counselling psychologist, I offer you a unique therapy based on your needs. I integrate several therapeutic models in my work, such as cognitive-behavioural (CBT), psychodynamic, humanistic, person-centred and mindfulness-based psychotherapies.

This tailored approach can support in deepening your understanding of past and present experiences that have shaped you, but also in addressing and modifying specific patterns of behaving, thinking and feeling that do not help you to feel good.

FLEXIBLE & TARGETED

In our work you are encouraged to bring any aspects of your internal or external life that you would like to make a change with.

Through conversations that are supportive yet practical you can address problem areas or triggers with tools that are scientifically evidenced to be effective in improving people’s lives.

INTERACTIVE & PERSONABLE

All my work is based on a humanistic therapy model. It is therefore of upmost importance for me to create an open and relaxed therapeutic space, where you can feel safe and at ease to address some of your experienced challenges.

Talking to someone who you find to be friendly and personable is crucial to me and as such I aim to create an authentic environment in which you can feel comfortable to express your thoughts and feelings freely.
