MY APPROACH
to counselling
I specialise in rogerian person-centered counselling, occasionally using tools from cognitive behavioural therapy, especially acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
Rogerian person-centered counselling works well for promoting personal growth and addressing topics related to self-esteem, identity, relationships, emotional awareness, decision-making, incongruence, or feeling inadequate. You might consider working with me if you are struggling with any of these experiences. Rogerian person-centered counselling also works well if it is important for you not to feel categorised or interpreted by your therapist. My approach prioritises your own lived experience, autonomy, and self-understanding over expert explanation or diagnostic framing.
For this reason, I may not be the best fit if you are looking for immediate advice or a highly directive approach. My work is exploratory and collaborative, bringing in cognitive behavioural tools when you and I, together, arrive at the need to use them.
Below you can find a longer list of topics that I address in my practice.

MY APPROACH
to people
I have been trained in the Netherlands, in the University of Groningen. As you can read below, I have been curious from the beginning about understanding people and the mind from different angles: philosophy, neuroscience and psychology. As such, I am very comfortable understanding and using scientific methods to approach the mind and the brain, but I also fully believe that reflecting about lived, first-person experience is a legitimate source of knowledge about what it means to be human and how to help ourselves and other people. I am also sensitive to the ways in which language, culture and power shape how we comprehend ourselves and others.
