you are  give you a hand here . My Approach & Values

Therapy is a road where I accompany and support my client in his inner journey

Each and every of my clients is different, hence, my methods and approach are fully flexible and adjustable to individual needs. Yet, as for the core of my work I can pinpoint the followings:  

➟ cognitive – behavioural methods: First I want you to understand why you do the things you do, conscious and deep insight into yourselves. Yes, sometimes it will hurt
➟ equal therapist – patient relation: I am not an infallible expert that you must blindly follow. I am mirror and a companion in your journey
➟ setting a clear goal: Having a plan and setting your objectives will clarify and facilitate the goal for every session. The list of priory prepared topics is always more than welcome 
➟ empathy, trust and unconditional support: In my books without this trio a true therapy never kicks off
➟ professional and latest knowledge in addictions: The more you know, the better you can understand yourself. Let me give you a hand here and equip you with this tool
➟ passion and full dedication for what I do: To put it simply: it does not matter who you are, what you come from and what kind of wounds and traumas you drag behind yourself. I am here for you. 

Above all of that, I do believe that for a fully successful therapy “magical click”, between therapist and his client is a must. Since therapy is nothing more than a meeting of two souls, we both must feel comfortable enough to entrust each other and set off together in this beautiful journey called therapy.
