My approach is based in psychology as well as drama and movement therapy. Talking about things can be very helpful for understanding our thoughts and feelings, but a lot of our potential for healing is based in our bodies and imagination. Using drama and movement alongside talking and reflection helps us to access this embodied and creative knowledge. I offer a range of methods depending on what you feel most comfortable with. That means our sessions can include talking, activities that help with connecting to the body, movement, improvisation & role play, as well as working with objects or art materials.
Some examples of how this can look like:

All my work is trauma-informed and based on a model of liberation psychology. Trauma-informed means that I am trained and experienced in safely working with clients’ traumatic experiences and their responses to these. Liberation psychology means that, while I offer individual therapy and aim to help clients better navigate the challenges they are facing in their lives, I always take into account social factors and structures of oppression and don’t treat these (or their consequences) as individual or personal problems.

To start therapy, we will first have a 15 min introductory video call. This is an opportunity to discuss what you are looking for and what kind of therapy I offer, so we can see if this would be a good fit for you. If you decide to start therapy, I will book you in for a first session in the weekly slot you chose.

You can book an introductory call here. Just choose a time that suits you from the available slots. Appointments always open for the next 2 weeks, do check back later if you can’t find an upcoming free slot for you.

If you already have a specific problem in mind that you are struggling with, we will look at this together and talk about what you would like to change. If you are feeling overwhelmed, don’t know where to start, or find it difficult to talk: Don’t worry, this is absolutely normal. I will help you get started and we can figure this out together.

The aim of our first session is to create an overview. That means, you don’t have to talk about difficult experiences or tell your life story. It is totally fine to hint at or just briefly mention things you feel are important for me to know – we can always come back to these in future sessions once you feel more settled in.

I offer both short and long-term therapy and we can discuss the planned duration of our work together during our initial sessions.

The minimum initial length of therapy is a period of 12 sessions. This is to give us enough time for you to settle in, address an issue that you want to work on, and have a closing session. The first three sessions are an assessment period where we explore the issues that are bringing you to therapy and create a treatment plan.

There is no maximum length of time we can work together, but we will have regular reviews together to make sure that the therapy is still benefiting you.
