my approach
I am qualified in Person-Centered Approach to counselling created by an American psychologist Carl Rogers and I use it as a foundation for my client work. This means that my work is guided by 3 main principles: empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence. In the session I am responsible for providing a safe and free from judgement space for clients to be able to explore their: thoughts, feeling, and subconscious mind in their search for clarity and answers.

As no one else can know how we perceive,
we are the best experts on ourselves. Dr. Carl Rogers
My personal and professional journey allowed me to discover other approaches that I find beneficial in working with clients. Working with subconscious mind is a powerful tool in creating a long lasting changes in our lives and in healing past traumas. Shadow work, integration of our consciousness and IFS are just some of the modalities that I use with my clients. I work intuitively and offer a person what is needed depending on what arises in the moment.
Through my experiences I came to a place of knowing that counselling requires integration of spirituality in order to be most beneficial to our growth and healing.
A holistic approach integrating our body, mind and soul creates long lasting changes.

If what you want is health, happiness, wealth, inner peace and enlightenment, you need to integrate your shadows. You need to invite the unconscious into the conscious. You need to accept, re-own, acknowledge, understand and love what you currently push away from yourself, things like painful memories, negative thoughts, painful emotions, or parts of yourself that you dislike.

what you can expect from our first meeting
I will introduce myself and the way I work, as well as explain terms of the counselling contract.
You will have a chance to share your expectations and what you would like to gain from therapy.
This is also a time to ask questions and gain clarification.
This session is intended to ensure that you will receive all information needed to assess whether you would like to work with me and for me to make sure that I am able to provide you with an adequate support.
