The benefits of my approach lie in using different techniques, tailored to the client's unique personality. Some clients like a directive approach, they want to be guided, to be given an almost 'engineering' model explaining our inner life; some prefer a non-directive, client-centered approach, where they would explore their inner landscape with the therapist as a co-traveler. All clients have relational needs which need to be addressed to, and the therapeutic relationship provides safety, validation, 'repaired' parenting, mutuality, client's self-definition and empowerment. Helping clients practice autonomy is my passion!
In the course of my professional practice, I have worked mostly with addictions, co-occurring disorders, eating disorders, anxiety, attachment and relationship issues. I have seen clients leave their (usually toxic) family of origin, change an unsatisfying job and end up their unsuccessful relationship. I was amazed by the impact of therapy in people's lives

I find that transactional analysis, as a theory of personality and interpersonal communication, with its useful tools and models can help with various issues, ranging from anxiety, depression, attachment disorders, relationship/couple problems to past trauma, grief and personality adaptations/disorders. For dealing with past 'unfinished business' Gestalt 'two-chair' technique is most helpful.

Relational approach is most suited for longer term therapy, and I use CBT and mindfulness based types for short-term and solution-focused therapy. Besides behaviour change and symptom control, I tend to encourage emotionally focused work, where Gestalt exercises are very beneficial for more in-depth, experiential outcomes.
