WORK AREAS
I specialize in individual therapy. I’m working with clients across a variety of areas – life-changing events, dissatisfaction with life, relationship issues, self-worth/esteem, difficulty in making good life choices, personal/professional development. Often clients face a combination of many of the above.
THERAPY APPROACH
Our sessions can help you:
• To live with inner consent to what you value, aspire and need
• To be yourself and understand yourself on a deeper level
• Experiencing life fully and authentically
• To be with the reality- focusing on the present while building a meaningful future
• Develop caring relationships
• Build mental strength
In addition, many of clients enjoy the hypnotherapy. They experience some very pleasant effects after their sessions:
• They feel calmer, more relaxed, positive and confident
• They are more focused and motivated
• They get a good night’s sleep
• They have an overall feeling of well-being that lasts for a good while afterwards
Not all forms of psychotherapy focus solely on the past. We will use past as a background to understand you. In my psychotherapy practice, I mosty work within the present while building a future. I can help you examine the bigger picture of your existence and values. It may be a good fit for you if:
• You posses a strong ability to self-reflect
• You prefer intellectual forms of therapy
• You want to understand your values and motivations
I work primarily from an existential framework. Existential Analysis, a psychotherapeutic approach, founded by the Viennese psychiatrist and famous holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl, intends a life with inner consent. This implies activating the authentic personal will (freedom) and responsibility. The aim of Existential Analysis is to guide a person towards experiencing their life authentically and freely. To do so we are entering a dialogue.
My approach is also influenced by my training in hypnotherapy as well as my leadership experience. I value honesty, openness and humour both in my personal and professional life. My individual psychotherapy style is real and down to earth.
