Work approach
I believe that there is no single “right” psychological approach that fits everyone. Each person is different, which is why I work in an integrative way—combining different therapeutic methods that are scientifically supported and have proven to be effective.
In my practice, I most often use techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and schema therapy. At the same time, I also consider psychodynamic processes—such as unconscious thoughts and emotions—to be important parts of the healing process. By observing ourselves more closely, we can gain a deeper understanding of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This understanding can help us develop acceptance, which in itself can be healing. It can also open the door to meaningful change.
A respectful and trusting therapeutic relationship is central to my work. I place great importance on approaches that focus on your personal resources and individual needs. I also follow a holistic perspective that values personal responsibility and supports self-determination—helping you find your own way forward at a pace that feels right for you.
Work ethics
Like Carl Rogers, I believe that people are fundamentally good and have the capacity for growth and constructive change. At the same time, I share Viktor Frankl’s view that human beings strive for a meaningful life. Many psychologists and thinkers have influenced my work, but they all share one common goal: supporting people who are experiencing psychological distress.
In difficult or crisis situations, we sometimes develop coping strategies or patterns of behaviour that may have helped us at the time but later become unhelpful. As a result, we may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or as if we have little control over our reactions. At times, emotions can feel confusing or overpowering, especially when we do not fully understand where they come from.
I believe that every person is the expert on their own life and experiences—regardless of how distressed they may feel. As a clinical psychologist, my role is to support you by offering professional knowledge about psychological processes and mental health, and by providing practical tools that you can first explore together with me and later use independently.
Through a collaborative therapeutic process, we work on developing helpful coping strategies and positive changes. At the same time, therapy offers the opportunity to gain deeper self-understanding, helping you relate to yourself with more clarity, compassion, and confidence.
