Therapy, counselling, coaching the list is endless. My goal is to find the right fit for you as client. Whether it’s a short term solution or a more in-depth exploration of negative behaviors, emotions or patterns there is a fit. I believe each individual has the ability to resolve personal problems on a certain level. The level depends on the individual, their resources, time, financial, social and environmental constraints. Working together we find what’s right for you!

All of us at some point might need support to deal with the many challenges of life, whether it be a personal crisis, a loss, an addiction, a feeling of stuckness or a change in one's ability to cope. I offer compassionate and non-judgemental psychotherapy for adolescents and adults. It is not always easy to take the first step to start therapy and to be vulnerable, but allowing yourself to open up is often the start of the journey towards acceptance or change.

Are you feeling stuck in familiar emotional patterns or struggling to connect with others? Do past experiences shape how you handle stress, express emotions, or navigate change? Are you looking to strengthen relationships and feel more at ease in yourself?
I help individuals and families understand how past experiences influence present challenges—whether you’re adjusting to change, feeling caught in old patterns, or seeking deeper connections. Through insight and reflection, we’ll work together to create meaningful shifts for your emotional well-being.

My psychotherapeutic stance is accepting and judgment-free. The therapeutic relationship is essential in effective therapy. Based on this, it is crucially important to get to know my clients on a personal level, and for my clients to get to know me. I position myself alongside my clients to collaboratively formulate a focused treatment plan.

Drama therapy is an embodied practice that is active and experiential. I have a person-centred approach: radical acceptance, unconditional positive regard with a non-directive stance. I strive to work with the healthy resilience of the individual or group, creating a sense of safety in the present so that personal challenges can be explored in a contained way. Whilst creativity is the foundation for curiosity and expression, the sessions are client led focusing on their preferred mode of expression. The work (with children and adults) is trauma informed and diversity sensitive. Restoring and encouraging agency is ever present
