My expertise focuses on depressive disorders (Major Depressive Disorder, Mania and Bipolar Disorder), anxiety disorders (Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Phobias, Panic Attacks and Obsessive Compulsive Disorders), personality disorders (especially Borderline Personality Disorder) and psychosomatic complaints.

As chartered Clinical and Health Psychologists I work with individual adolescents and adults, also providing Couples Counseling.

The main topics I work with individuals are anxiety, panic attacks, Fomo, procrastination, social anxiety, and burnout.
Owning degrees in both economics and psychotherapy science has sparked my wish to work with people who are functional individuals, but who, at one point in their lives, started to lose motivation and energy, who are overwhelmed by daily hassles, and lost their focus in life. It is my honor to use my experience and knowledge to support individuals and couples (especially bicultural) in managing different types of stresses in their lives.

I’m a relationship counsellor - working with attachment trauma. Benefiting from relationship counselling doesn’t necessarily mean you have an issue with a particular person. More often than not it means you are feeling lonely and would love to have deeper relationships. Maybe you went through a bad breakup or you tend to lose yourself in relationships – that means you could even be in a relationship and still feel lonely and disconnected. Maybe you “have never been in a relationship” and really have no clue how that could ever work out – you feel like you are just not “lovable”.

I believe there are hidden reasons and meanings in the ways we think, behave, and feel. Additionally, I believe that the way every person thinks and acts is very specific to them. Therefore, when someone comes seeking therapy, treatment is not about correcting thoughts and behaviours, but rather about understanding them to discover the person’s individual truth. The aim of our sessions together will be to provide you the space to find what links your thoughts, behaviours, and attitudes together.

Psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy is a way to examine life and to get a glimpse of the unconscious fundamentals of our being. With this method, unconscious patterns can be discovered and worked through. For example, past experiences can be integrated to improve psychological well-being, the quality of interpersonal relationships, and the sense of self. In many cases, the changes achieved through therapy are subtle; they flow almost unnoticed into everyday life. However, in my eyes, psychoanalytical therapy also carries the chance of radical breaks that could be described as existential shifts.

Anxiety Counsellors
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
