You've just come out of yet another dysfunctional relationship, or realized you’ve always had one with your parents. Thoughts and feelings run in the background: shame for staying where there was nothing for you, anger for enduring more than anyone should, fear of being abandoned by those who hurt you most, and fear of never finding someone who truly cares. This kind of abuse doesn’t just affect every area of your life — it takes the core of your dignity and integrity, making you question your worth. This is not your life sentence; it is the beginning of self-love. How do I know? Guess.
My approach is person-centred, with mindfulness, Gestalt, and IFS influences. What does it mean for you? Our work will be the first place where I push you to stop shrinking: set boundaries, feel your feelings, stop pleasing others, and notice the recurring hooks that keep you drawn to certain patterns or relationships. There will be tears, swears, and laughs
I know reaching out can feel daunting, but I also know you’ve already developed a unique kind of strength. Together, we’ll find ways to protect and nurture it so you can finally reclaim your space , fully. If you are ready for this, I am just a message away.

My philosophy is non pathologising. If you choose to work with me, my aim is to bring cohesion and integration of all your parts so that you can learn to work with, not against yourself. You will never hear me saying that your way of thinking is disfunctional, as I do not regard any part of you in needs of a fix. My approach is highly compassionate and accepting.
