TOGETHER WE CAN ...
Together we can work on understanding and managing your personal issues and/or on creating a deeper bond with your partner. I use an attachment-based approach that offers effective, proven tools to help you achieving your goals. I work with people who identify as heterosexual, with people from the LGBTQ community and with people who live in alternative relationship structures such as polyamory or open relationships. ​ Attachment is a theme that has impacted me since I was in my mother's womb and that has shaped my life in many ways. As a therapist I gained insight in the way that our attachment wounds and our bonding style can get in the way of our personal development and our relationships. I offer counselling based on proven methods of change and healing. ​ Benefit from the guidance and the support of a counsellor who can help you understand yourself and your relationships better. When your emotional baggage gets lighter, you will be able to thrive again, to actively engage with life and people, and to have a relationship that succeeds.
COUPLES THERAPY
My work with couples is based on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a wonderful process that guides couples towards deeper intimacy, closeness and connection. EFT helps couples to free themselves from hurtful patterns and create new ways of interaction. It provides a safe platform for couples to find their way to feeling loved and accepted.
EFT is a highly researched, effective, and evidence-based couple’s counselling model. EFT helps partners experience more openness and trust with each other, making it safe again to reach out to each other for intimacy and comfort.
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING
Individual counselling provides an opportunity for you to explore where you are stuck and to gain insight and awareness around your thoughts, emotions, patterns or behaviour. You will receive personal support and guidance, while being welcomed in a safe, confidential and caring environment. ​ Together we will address and work through any emotional issues or any other life difficulties, and then work towards your desired change. ​ In a first exploratory session we look at your needs and goals, and we'll decide if we are a good match. If so, we'll set out a roadmap and get started.
