Combining talk therapy with elements of mindfulness and artistic expression, I aim to create a warm, non-threatening environment in which children, adolescents and adults can explore and communicate their thoughts and feelings.

People seek help for specific reasons such as eating disorders, psycho-somatic conditions, obsessional behaviour, or phobic anxieties.

The benefits of our psychotherapy and counselling work include self-insight, inner fulfillment, raised self-esteem, a positive outlook and improved relationships.

Sometimes words are not enough or are inaccessible. Through musical explorations in the context of a therapeutic relationship, people can develop new coping skills, express themselves creatively and reconnect to themselves. Music therapists use active and receptive techniques in sessions. These include improvising, songwriting, and music listening and sharing. Clients’ needs, preferences, and strengths determine the course of their experiences in music therapy. I listen and support through active listening, verbal reflections, and through my own music-making. No prior musical training is necessary to experience music therapy.

Are you struggling with anxiety related to the Covid-19 pandemic? Are you faced with the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, an aging parent or workplace stress? Stress can help motivate us to reach our goals. However, prolonged stress can increase the chances of developing anxiety, depression and many physical illnesses.

Psychotherapy is a good place to ease suffering, to arrive at more satisfying decisions, and to gain vitality. Are you worried about certain symptoms, or feeling unable to cope with emotions? Maybe you are discouraged, confused, or unsatisfied with "stuck" patterns in your relationships. Therapy offers a re-looking at what is close to us already. Sometimes, we recognize what we know, but in a different way. What frees us from lonely paralysis or the repetition of unsatisfying behaviour or thinking is the presence of another. This blind circle of reflection only opens up when there is someone to talk to.
