About me as a therapist

I offer clients a safe space where through our therapeutic relationship the client can start to heal and work on difficult things in order to improve their well being and life quality. I listen carefully and try to understand well what are the emotional events and thought processes the client has and what coping mechanisms or defenses they use. I offer explanations that help the client understand their own internal events and work together with them to achieve both insight and change. The most important thing for me as a therapist is to have a strong and good relationship so clients feel secure and safe to express themselves freely.

About my therapy sessions

First I call clients (free 15 minute call) to get an idea of their needs and situation.
During the forst session I get a deeper understanding of the reason for seeking therapy, from which the therapy goals and plan are formulated.
The plan is used as a basis for the therapy process, mantaining flexibility to address upcoming issues or pivoting when necessary to better meet the clients needs.
