About me and my therapy practice
In therapy, we will explore together how to develop a friendlier approach towards yourself.
I am very engaged in the therapy process and attentive to your needs. I will make an effort to comprehend the essence of who you are and the unique makeup of your personality. You will receive from me unconditional acceptance, empathy, and authenticity between us. This process might be healing itself as you might have never spoken to someone who witnessed your suffering, honoured your vulnerability, and appreciated your strengths to survive until now. The therapeutic relationship can help you to regain trust in yourself and other people.
I don't see psychotherapy as a separate discipline; I rather embrace its interrelational nature that incorporates our cultures, socio-economic circumstances, linguistics, sociology, history, and philosophy.
My holistic approach aims to incorporate four types of embodied wisdom represented by the head (logic), heart (emotions), gut (intuition), and hips (action).
Psychotherapy is a secure space that can give you a chance to reconnect to your core self, reinvent, and transform your life. I see therapy as a nonlinear and multifaceted process where a client and therapist work together to capitalise the client’s best interest.
Therapy is a lifelong investment in yourself and reconnecting to your inner strengths that helped you to survive until now. It is about recognising our issues as we all have them and daring to take action to reframe them. So starting therapy is an act of courage.
Practice description
My style of working is relational, humanistic, and integrative. I trained in a humanistic approach with Person-Centred, Gestalt, and Transactional Analysis models. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling from Metanoia Institute, validated by Middlesex University, and a Certificate of Higher Education in Psychology from the Open University. The humanistic philosophy means that I approach you firstly as a human, then as a therapist. I believe that people are born with a capacity to move towards self-actualisation as long as the basic needs and the right conditions are in place. In my multimodal approach to therapy, I strive to work with the embodied process and somatic experience, drawing on attachment theory and recent findings from neuroscience. I bring my whole self into the session, honouring my clinical intuition and sensitivity tailored for your healing and growth. I also use psychoeducation to explain and normalise your responses and assist you to develop personal mastery.
