How Therapy Works
Therapy begins with an initial assessment to understand what has brought you to therapy and the difficulties you are experiencing.
Where relevant, the assessment may include consideration of developmental, family, social, educational, and emotional history, as well as the ways in which current difficulties affect everyday life.
Together, we consider the goals of therapy and determine an approach that is tailored to the individual´s needs.
My Psychological Approach
My work is integrative, drawing primarily on psychodynamic therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
I believe that therapy should be adapted to the individual needs of each person, rather than following a single approach.
Psychodynamic therapy explores emotional experiences, relationships, recurring patterns, and the ways in which past experiences may continue to influence the present.
Through the therapeutic process, individuals can develop greater self-awareness, deepen their understanding of their emotional world and relationships, and recognize recurring patterns.
When appropriate, therapy may incorporate tools for coping with challenging situations, supporting emotional regulation and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, with the aim of improving everyday functioning.
Play therapy
Play therapy provides a natural and meaningful way for children to express themselves. Within a safe and non-judgemental environment, children can explore their feelings and process emotional experiences. Through play, children can also learn coping strategies, build self-esteem, and experience new ways of relating to others.

Working with Parents
When working with children and adolescents, parents play an important role in the therapeutic process.
Parent meetings provide an opportunity to think together about the child’s experiences, gain a deeper understanding of their emotional needs, and explore ways to support the child´s emotional well-being and development.
