The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change

Carl Rogers

Everyone is fighting a battle, whether it is silent or not. We all deserve our stories to be heard and empathised with. I believe that we are all the authors of our own story, sometimes we just need to be reminded of this.

 

In this process, we can create and change our own narratives through self reflection, self compassion and non-judgmental awareness. You can start a new chapter at any time, and It would be my pleasure to accompany you along this journey

Online therapy has become extremely popular, particularly since the corona pandemic. With such easy access to people from all around the globe, all you need is a comfortable place where you won't be disturbed and can pour your heart out. 

 

Studies have shown that online therapy is as effective, or even more effective as face to face for some populations (link). Moreover, the hassle of commuting back and forth and the stress of being late or rushing to your session is eliminated. Furthermore, if you are simply shy or unsure, it can be a good start to see if is right for you from the comfort of your own home.

 

Of course online therapy it is not for everyone and some conditions (e.g. Psychosis) must first be treated in person.

My Therapeutic Approach

A part of my focus is in the Psychodynamic approach (link), which has its roots in our unconscious processes and how our past influences our present. This is crucial for us to see where we have come from and what has shaped us. Working in the 'here and now' (Mindfulness-Based therapy) is also important in my practice as it makes you the creator of your own narrative, owning your story, leaving the past behind and moving forward towards your goals and ideal self. 

​

In addition, I also integrate a Humanistic Approach, specifically person-centered therapy, introduced by Psychoanalyst Carl Rogers (1951). This approach assumes that every human being is intrinsically good and creative, focusing on a more positive outlook on humans. Another assumption is that we all have free will with the natural desire to grow and the motivation towards self-actualization (link). It treats the person as a "whole" and not simply the sum of its parts. 

​

I provide a safe space in which you can be your true self and explore your past, present and future selves. This in turn, creates a dynamic container in which you can explore the depths of all parts of your consciousness in order to make the changes you desire.

 

Each individual is extremely different and this requires at most times a combination of approaches, depending on each unique story. Together we can make a coherent plan to achieve the goals you have in mind and embark on a journey of self-exploration, healing and co-creation.
