Care Approach

The psychotherapeutic approach that I take to care is intuitively developed for each individual patient. Because I have experienced that past difficulties and traumas often unconsciously drive our present ways of thinking and relating to the world, I draw on psychodynamic, attachment, EFT and existential theoretic lenses to raise awareness, elevate consciousness and increase self-understanding. I also draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is grounded in behavioural sciences and eastern psychological theory, to increase psychological flexibility and relatedness with present thoughts, feelings, beliefs and perceptions. This also involves cultivating faculties and capacities that facilitate change.

Patients typically achieve their goals by learning to develop a more productive relationship with challenging mental content and opening up more space for a new way of experiencing their inner and outer lives.

Finally, the success of the therapeutic journey depends to a great extent on the quality of the patient-therapist relationship. You will be able to sense in the first couple of sessions whether I am the therapist for you.
