How we can work together
Individual Therapy
One-on-one online therapy sessions. Together, we’ll work on the challenges you’re facing, whether that’s anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions, or something else. I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailored to your unique needs and pace.
AREAS OF FOCUS
What we can work on together
Anxiety
Does your mind feel like it never stops racing? Do worries take over, making it hard to focus, sleep, or simply enjoy life?
Panic Attacks
Have you ever felt an intense rush of fear out of nowhere, your heart pounding, your chest tightening, your breath slipping away, leaving you feeling helpless?
Fear/Phobia
Is fear keeping you from doing things you want or need to do? Do certain situations or objects trigger intense panic that feels impossible to control?
Depression
Do you wake up feeling drained before the day even begins? Have you lost the energy, motivation, or joy you once had?
Confidence/Self-esteem
Do you constantly doubt yourself or feel like you’re never good enough? Is self-criticism holding you back from fully embracing who you are?
Guilt/Shame
Do painful memories, regrets, or self-blame weigh heavily on you? Does the past feel like a burden you can’t put down?
Life Changes
Are you struggling with a major life change, a breakup, a new job, a big move, that has left you feeling lost, overwhelmed, or uncertain?
Habits
Do you keep falling into patterns you wish you could break? Are procrastination, avoidance, or unhealthy coping strategies getting in the way of the life you want?
Perfectionism
Do you feel like nothing you do is ever enough? Is the pressure to always achieve or be perfect leaving you stressed, exhausted, or afraid to fail?
​Whatever you are going through, you do not have to deal it alone.
My Approach
Everyone’s needs in therapy are unique, and my goal is to meet yours in a way that truly supports you. That’s why I tailor my approach to fit your individual circumstances. To ensure the best outcomes, I work with evidence-based therapies. In therapy we will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with complementary elements of Schema Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT).

Introduction call
Our journey begins with a free and short introductory call to get to know each other and what has brought you into therapy. We will also discuss about logistics like fees and scheduling and it is a great chance to ask any questions you might have.
Assessment Phase
In the first few sessions, we will explore further what brings you in therapy, what are your expectations and I will start to get to know you better. We will discuss your past history, from being a small kid till now, I have so many things to catch up with. It is possible that you may have to fill in some short questionnaires depending on your presenting issues, to help us get a clearer image.  By the end of this phase, we’ll have a better understanding of what kind of help would be most beneficial for you.
Setting Goals
Some people come in with clear goals, while others just know they need help but aren’t sure where to start and that’s completely okay. I follow a goal-oriented approach in therapy. This means that by the end of our assessment we will set together our therapy goals; those goals are going to be our guide for the rest of treatment, as they will help us monitor our progress and provide us with a clear direction for therapy.
Beginning with therapy
Once we have set our goals and we have a clear direction, the real therapy phase begins. Having a strong assessment and our goals as a guide we will together plan out a treatment plan that fits your needs. Treatment involves continuing to understand you better, developing self-awareness, noticing patterns in thoughts or behavior, learning techniques to manage difficult feelings, skills training, cultivating mindfulness, getting in touch with values.
Reviewing progress
Our end goal of is for you to be able to be your own therapist and to be able to stand on your feet alone with out my guidance. Once we notice that you feel better, or that you have the tools to now handle the difficulties of life, then we will review our progress, celebrate our success and give you more tools to prevent relapsing.
What does evidence-based mean?
"Evidence-based" means that the therapies I use, like CBT and ACT, are backed by scientific research showing they are effective for a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress. These methods have been carefully tested and proven to help people make real, lasting changes. I am trained according to the standards of the European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies (EABCT), which ensures that I apply the latest, scientifically validated techniques in therapy. EABCT sets high professional standards for training and practice, so you can be assured that the therapy you receive is not only effective but also follows the best practices in the field.
