My aim is to provide you a non-judgmental and compassionate space in which you can feel respected and heard. I want to help you gain a better understanding of the difficulties you experience (e.g., based on psychological models), and become effective in managing these outside of therapy on your own. My approach is evidence-based, utilizing cognitive-behavioral (CBT) including third-wave cognitive therapies such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), schema therapy, and compassion-focused therapy (CFT).

I am available for a free initial phonecall to discuss the nature of your concerns before booking a session. The initial session/s focus on understanding your difficulties as well as possible, and therefore I will ask you questions and may ask you to fill in a psychological inventory/inventories for a good overview of your current problems. We will focus on discussing therapy goals together at the beginning of therapy. During psychological therapy, the aim is to increase personal insight into the behavioral, emotional, and thought processes that are happening, and to learn ways of managing or changing patterns that lead to difficulties. I may give you tasks to do in-between sessions or ask you to fill in a diary (i.e.) to record feelings / thoughts throughout the week. Every client is different, and we will be evaluating your well-being and adjusting the treatment plan depending on what works or does not work for you.
