Welcome to my profile!
I’m here to help you experience emotinal well-being through
an empathetic and supportive therapeutic relationship.
I offer a holistic approach to discover your body, behaviour, emotions, and mind’s resources and self-healing capacity
by utilizing the tools of modern psychotherapy.
In my therapeutic work I utilize modalities such as
- AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy),
- IFS (Internal Family Systems),
- CBT (Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy),
- and integrative therapies like KIP (Katathymic Imaginative Psychotherapy)
My two main areas of focus are
– issues concerning emotional eating and weight loss
– medically unexplained and psychosomatic symptoms.
However, as a psychotherapist I am equipped to help with a variety of mental and emotional difficulties like anxiety and depression, relationship and attachment issues, low self esteem, and trauma.
Being solution oriented
Expecting that every mental – emotional problem should be solved as quickly as an oil change or getting a prescription from your GP is sadly not realistic. However, as a medical doctor, even in a therapy space I naturally have my focus on getting to the root of a problem and, if possible, treating and solving it! Sometimes this focused approach can bring improvement even in a few sessions. In my training as a psychotherapist, I learned autogenic training, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and the basics of schema therapy, all of which are practical, solution-oriented methods.
Multi-faceted approach
After my base psychotherapy training in CBT, I turned my attention towards other models, such as Emotional Focus Therapy (EFT) and integrative therapies (IFS, Kathatymic Imagery). Going further and deeper than the thoughts-and-behaviour focused approach of CBT, the aim with these models is to dissolve emotional blockages, explore unconscious memories, and allow trauma responses be processed on a somatic level too.
A healing realtionship – AEDP, my therapeutic home
AEDP is a modern, a novel dymanic method developed in the USA. It rests on the main concept that our problems do not arise and persist in a vacuum, thus, the primary task of the therapist is the undoing of aloneness, in a therapeutic relationship that is as authentic and real as possible. A relationship where we feel valued and supported, cheered on, deeply understood in our difficulties, celebrated in our successes.
In AEDP, this emphasis on relatedness is combined with a striving to help you get to greater wellbeing, with tools available to heal attachment wounds, develop your sense of Self, regulate your anxiety, and overcome blockages to experiencing healthy emotions.
AEDP is a flexible model, and it allows me to incorporate and use other methods and techniques that I have previously learned, combining them in whatever way seems most useful to you at the time.
Crucially, AEDP also recognises that being problem-focused can sometimes part of the problem itself. Therefore, it emphasizes how unburdening and strengthening the anuthenticity you already possess as a human being can be just as effective as working on the ‘negative’ side, that is to decrease or stop a negative experience. We call this healthy vitality transformance, in AEDP. This more – for lack of a better word – ‘positive’ therapeutic journey often feels also more freeing, playful, and easy.
