How do I work?
My therapeutic approach always depends on the individual and on the difficulty. I work as a catalyst. I am internationally experienced. It is not me, as a psychologist who heals. Children and adults heal themselves in the safe place I provide and learn to change or understand their own feelings and behaviours as well as their environment, culture they are in. I am there to witness, challenge and encourage if they allow me to do so.
I usually use supportive psychodynamic therapy, I work with a systemic approach, cognitive behavioral therapy, which means I teach you new strategies you can use to overcome your difficulties.
In my experience, the problem brought is mostly the result of a combination of several different causes. So we try to understand it and then integrate with a new meaning. In my work the contextual perspectives on the individual; the socio-cultural, historical, and environmental implications, and the client-therapist relationship itself are very important.
