How I work

As a psychotherapist and coach, I offer a space where couples and individuals can slow down and explore what is happening in their relationships and inner world. My work is grounded in curiosity, respect, and a non-judgmental atmosphere where thoughts, emotions, and experiences can be examined more closely. At the centre of therapy is the relationship we build together, one based on trust, openness, and a shared willingness to look at things from new perspectives.

My approach rests on three interconnected pillars: evidence-based understanding of relationship dynamics, creativity and experimentation in conversation, and moments of slowing down that allow lived experience to come into view. Knowledge from systemic therapy, attachment theory, and relational research helps us recognise patterns that shape the way people meet each other in relationships.

 

At the same time, therapy is not only about understanding patterns. In sessions we may explore conversations differently through metaphor, dialogue experiments, or experiential exercises that allow couples to encounter each other in new ways. These moments often reveal aspects of the relationship that are difficult to see in everyday life.

 

Part of the work also involves slowing the pace of conversation. When we pause long enough to notice emotions, bodily reactions, and subtle shifts between people, new meaning can emerge. These moments of awareness often open space for different ways of relating.


My education and professional background combine psychological understanding with attention to the connection between body and mind. This perspective is especially relevant in areas of intimacy, closeness, and relational presence.

Below you can see the values that guide my work and the way I approach therapy.
