The guidelines that define my psychotherapy work are firstly to establish a therapeutic relationship that could allow the client to feel safe and understood. Secondly, I facilitate reflection and discovery of new meanings on those significant issues in the client’s present life. Those issues could be specific, such as feeling concerned about relationships, self-esteem, stress, work, or they could be unspecific, such as feeling emotional, irritable, distressed, or unfulfilled. Lastly, my approach is tailored by the client’s needs and can encompass diverse strategies and techniques.
