About me

What is my therapeutic approach?

​

I work in a relational integrative psychotherapy approach.

I help people to develop and heal their relationships in the six areas of integrative psychotherapy: their relationship with their body, themselves, their fellow human beings, their environment, society and spirituality.

I consider the therapeutic relationship to be the most profound impact of therapy.

I strive for an equal, authentic, respectful and compassionate relationship with my clients.

I apply therapeutic techniques according to the client's needs. I consider the use of non-verbal techniques important. I view the techniques used as vehicles for the healing power of the therapeutic relationship and the client's relationship with himself/herself.

What methods do I use?

​​

I work with body-focus, relaxation, mindfulness, compassion-focus therapy and hypnotherapy techniques, as well as the Socratic Dialogue technique. I use various techniques of chair work.

A person-centred approach, empathy and intuitive attunement to each other are important to me.

How can I help you?

​

In my therapy sessions, my clients have the opportunity to encounter their own resources, hurts, intimacies, shame, and desires in a safe space of relating to me.

Experiencing that I am with them, staying with them as they encounter themselves, listening with interest to their experiences and helping them map, understand and live them, they begin to take themselves seriously. They begin to experience that they can exist as they are.

This leads to the natural maturing and healing processes within them.

My professional credo:

​

For me, the therapist's role is to be the mother of their clients in a psychological sense.

In the first years of life, a person learns to regulate his emotions and develops a self-image of himself in relation to his mother, in the mirror of his mother's gaze.

There will always be gaps in this process, because every mother is a person with limits. This is natural.

I believe that the task of the therapist is to compensate, through the therapeutic relationship, for the gaps in this process.

It is also to help those who, as a result of an adverse life event, have lost the ability to regulate their emotions and have a healthy self-image that they acquired in the early years of life to regain these abilities.
