I'm an existential-integrative psychotherapist. I have been practising as a fully accredited psychotherapist since 2010. My journey into this career started with 3 years of being a medical student followed by a change in my interests and becoming a philosophy student. After graduating from philosophy, I taught in secondary schools and did some freelance journalism. I then changed countries and became more aware of my own existential questions and dilemmas. That's when I decided that I wanted to understand better the human mind and the way we navigate our journey through life. Existential questioning is not some fanciful philosophical talk, but an integral need for self-understanding, an essential tool for engaging with life. As long as we are alive, we are facing existential questions, no matter our level of intelligence or training. Life means existential questioning. However, engaging with this questioning requires paying attention to it and actively and persistently pursuing it. Though it’s natural to us to question life, it’s not necessarily habitual to us to engage fully with this type of questioning.
Existential therapy helps clients to engage more fully with life, to learn to reconnect to self, others and the environment by healing past ruptures and getting more in touch with the regenerative energy which each of us possesses.
Over the years my approach to therapy kept developing and enriching through knowledge from psychoanalytic theories, which helped me understand human beings through a developmental perspective. Narrative therapy and third wave CBT approaches also inspired my way of working with different psychological difficulties.
I’ve worked over the years with a wide range of issues, and I have been inspired more recently by dr Dan Siegel’s work which understands mental distress as ruptures in the flowing of energy inside us and between us and what surrounds us.
Since 2015, I’ve also worked with eating disorders, and I’ve kept enriching my knowledge and capacity to support clients who suffer from these presentations.
Psychotherapy involves a process of constant self-exploration and self-improvement and continual capacity to be flexible and able to connect and fully understand and validate others.

She is kindness itself as well as very professional. She understands what I'm trying to say very quickly and asks pertinent questions to help assess my needs and troubles. I felt comfortable opening up to her and follow her advice from the instant we started our first session. She has a very soothing voice (and attitude) too. That helps me calm dowm and talk about my issues. I am very grateful to have her as my therapist.
