Meeting you where you are.
Over the years, my own experiences have taught me to appreciate life in all its complexity — the joy, the uncertainty, the difficulty and the possibility of finding meaning. Through my training in Systemic Family Constellations with Ursula Maria Bell, I was re-introduced to Viktor Frankl and his teachings. In a way, she became a channel through which his words found their way back to me, reminding me of his belief that while we cannot always choose our circumstances, we can choose how we meet them. Today, I feel deeply connected to my life, the people and animals I love, and the meaning I continue to discover along the way.
I bring together different perspectives in the way I understand people. My background in Psychology, Sport & Exercise Psychology and Gestalt Psychotherapy, together with my training in Systemic Family Constellations, has taught me to look not only at the individual, but also at the relationships and systems that surround them.
Systemic work has especially invited me to look at life from a place of openness, love and reconciliation.
There is something powerful in recognising that we are part of a larger family tapestry — that our stories did not begin with us, and that we do not have to carry them alone.
I believe therapy begins in relation. Amongst other things, this means that:
Healing begins through the relationship that develops between therapist and client.
It would follow then that: safety and trust are foundational, that the therapist is not some detached expert, that it is understood and valued that the client's experiences, difficulties and ways of relating have developed within other relationships and within a particular field, and that through the therapeutic relationship a client may encounter another — a different — way of being.
Therapy is not about telling you how to live, but about creating a space of safety, acceptance and presence where you can slow down and come to know yourself more deeply. What matters to you? What do you need? What kind of life do you want to move towards?
I would feel privileged to temporarily accompany you on your journey as you find your own answers.
