TIME FOR THERAPY?
The time for therapy is when you feel that moving forward has become impossible, when important relationships keep going wrong, or when life seems to be empty and pointless. But mainly, the time to seek professional help is when you are ready to address your particular issues.
WHY THERAPY?
We will work together to find out more about what has gone wrong when, and how. I believe that therapy is for each person a unique and immensely personal journey. Therefore, my approach is through dialogue: it is a work in progress, not to give general advise or tell you where to go next, but based on listening to you and engaging with what you say. Getting to know you will allow me to point out things that have not been noticed, suggesting things to consider exploring, recognising what is specific to you, and offering new perspectives.
For some people, short-term counselling is enough indeed to be back on track. Often, however, the work of psychotherapy and counselling has to find and disentangle what has led to a person’s current state of emotional despair, confusion, or standstill.
This means, exploring and understanding the underlying dynamics of a psychological dilemma can be hard work at times and bring up painful feelings, but it can also turn into a surprisingly inspiring and uplifting experience in which moving forward with your own sense of direction becomes increasingly possible.
