5+ years in Psychotherapy
I have many years of experience working with people of all ages and from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds, supporting clients with a wide range of emotional, psychological, and life challenges.

Approach My orientation is primarily humanistic and psychodynamic, in the integrative model. I combine different therapeutic methods, to work holistically with a wide range of issues, while valuing the uniqueness of the experience of each individual. My approach stems from the principles of Carl Rogers’ humanistic psychology. It emphasises the importance of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth, and believes in individuals’ capacity of achieving their full potential.
