About Me and My Praxis

I provide professional, client tailored psychological counseling with cognitive behavioral and Schema methods. I have been privileged to work with many people who have felt overwhelmed, lost or stuck at times in their life. We can all feel vulnerable and it is not uncommon to experience an array of different symptoms, unhelpful behaviors or lack of confidence. Working with a psychologist can provide a consistent sense of support, as well as short and long-term relief from issues you are facing.

There are many reasons why someone may wish to see a psychologist. Sometimes, there may be an issue that dates back many years – something that you’ve been trying to push to the recesses of your mind. But perhaps you’ve found that despite your best efforts that issue keeps getting in the way of you moving on and being truly happy. It may affect other areas of your life and it might have felt preferable to try and compartmentalize the issues and your feelings around it rather than deal with it. 

I am passionate about my work and strongly believe that counseling can allow you to begin to make sense of overwhelming feelings, thoughts and behaviors. With the right technics everyone can learn how to ease the stress and find the right track in their new life. During counselling you can find your strengths in work or study, and develop the skills needed to live your best life. In my praxis I use a person-centered approach, which also known as the Rogerian client-based therapy. I combine cognitive behavioral techniques with the tools of Schema therapy to provide holistic support. The client actively participate during the sessions and we make decision together.

Psychological counseling is available for both short-term (usually about 6-12 sessions) and longer term.
