About me
The path of life is full of uncertainty, challenges and hardships. Psychotherapy is a chance to get support in these difficult moments and possibly to make things better and find your way toward a more fulfilling life. My work is based on the belief that we are all affected by unconscious processes of which we may not be fully aware. These unconscious processes impact the way we live in this world - how we feel, what we are thinking, and how we behave. Together, we explore the roots of your feelings, thoughts and behaviours. The insights into what the roots of your struggles are lead to a greater self-awareness and self-understanding.
When we become more aware, then the unconscious, automatic, inevitable behaviours, feelings and thoughts, or what we might call fate can evolve into conscious processes. This means we can discover what seems to be a whole new world, where we can start exploring other options of being, feeling and thinking.
It’s a new world, where something starts shifting, changes are happening, possibilities arise and surprises emerge. Therapy is a courageous and rewarding journey. Whether you are seeking short-term support or deeper, long-term exploration, I can accompany you in your difficulties and along your path to a more fulfilling and joyful life.
