I am a clinical psychologist and supervisor with a holistic and collaborative approach founded on good listening. I work with adults, adolescents and children (6+) on common mental health and life-related issues (mood, anxiety, stress, life-changes, existential), and have more specialised experience in treatment of eating disorders, low self-esteem, trauma-related concerns, supporting LGBTQIA+ clients and supporting women with health issues, as well as alcohol use. I also provide supervision (currently open for supervisees) and appts in Finnish/German. I work with each person in the context of their lives and experiences.
My approach is founded on respect and curiosity. I use Psychodynamic/Existential talking therapy, Schema Therapy & Emotion-focused Therapy and hold ANZAED accreditation as an eating disorder practitioner. With children and adolescents my initial focus is on creating an engaging therapy space including play.
Finding a good fit with a therapist is really important so I am happy to give you an idea of what to expect from working together (or with your child). I usually try to arrange an initial phone-call to hear a bit more about what you are coming for and to you a chance to ask me any questions and am also happy to answer questions via email.
