As your therapist I consider myself to be your experiencing and curious travel companion. I follow your pace on the journey. I gently help you to shed light on your inner and outer landscapes and to describe what you see, think, sense and experience. I am with you there and when we explore and ponder over the routes you choose that we should journey together.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in the neuroaffective framework. I hold a humanistic view of life, and therefore my therapeutic methods are primarily based on existential and person-centered therapy.
In practice, this means that in a therapeutic process with me:
· we create a shared understanding and take a concrete starting point in the challenges you are currently experiencing.
· i support you in exploring your thoughts, emotions, sensations, dreams, and memories in the here and now.
· we explore the past and future only to bring insight and understanding to your lived life today.
A typical therapy session follows no fixed formula, and the purpose is not to lead you to any predetermined destination. Each session unfolds from where you are, with full trust in whatever emerges in the space between us. We give meaningful attention to what arises within you and in what is awakened between us as the relational cues that guide our process. I will mirror you empathically in your experiences. I will sometimes ask questions and at times I may challenge you on your thoughts and what you say. In this way we explore your journey together, but you will remain in charge of the process.
