You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, past trauma, or the pressure to "keep it together", I see you. Maybe you’re struggling with body image, depression, the mental load of motherhood, or are feeling directionless. Therapy gives you space to take a deep breath, be heard, and start making sense of what is going on in your live - and take back control.

Are you struggling with repetitive pattern, or symptoms, emotional, affective or psychological issues ? Rather than taking medication and treating the issue on the surface, would you prefer to better understand why this is happening to you, and why it happens ? With more than 23 year of private practice of psychotherapy, I can help you to cope with your situation and, most of the time, turn it into a positive experience. My work focuses on qualitative change, and for that we'll analyze things under the surface.

You may be thinking about therapy due to depression, anxiety, loss, stress, burnout, relationship issues, life transitions such as parenthood and retirement. These concerns can feel more overwhelming when we live abroad in unfamiliar surroundings. Medication can provide short-term relief for emotional distress, but there are side effects. You may be concerned about how COVID 19 is affecting your work, your relationships and your life. This pandemic is challenging the world’s mental health in so many ways. You've been coping alone for a while and feel like having someone alongside you to explore your challenges.

At different times in life we may encounter both external and internal difficulties and the psyche talks to us in various ways: sometimes through symptoms of insomnia or depression, anxiety or recurring thoughts, feelings of emptiness and despair - sometimes through inner questions of meaning, an urge to know more and wish to find our place. We may be confronted with personal dilemmas that seem unlikely to be solved, and feel trapped or imprisoned. Jungian psychoanalysis is a journey to find the roots of such difficulties, to better understand the meaning underlying our suffering and to help integrate these insights into our life.

You might not know at the beginning that your presenting problem is only the surface. We will look together much deeper, at what brought you to that: at your personality.
There is no generic term of "therapy", and not all therapists do meaningful therapy, which is about recognizing the patterns. It is about deep listening behind what is being said and careful observation of what you show in the here and now.

Women's Issues Counsellors
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
