1. Low self-confidence and self-esteem

2. Relationship problems

3. Trauma

4. Burnout

5. Loss and grief
   
   

1. Low self-confidence, low self-esteem, insecurity

Clients learn that insecurity is a part of them, but not their whole identity. In most cases, these feelings developed during childhood.

People often tend to reject or push away this vulnerable part of themselves. In therapy, clients learn to gently connect with this part and to respond to it with care and compassion from an adult perspective. This helps create inner calm, safety, and self-confidence.

2. Relationship problems

In my practice, I work with couples facing a wide range of relationship difficulties, such as:

• feeling stuck or disconnected

• frequent conflict or arguments

• lack of understanding between partners

• infidelity

• one or both partners doubting whether to continue the relationship

• sexual difficulties

• major life events

• parenting challenges
  
  

In joint sessions, we work together to break negative patterns. I am there for both partners, not as a referee, but as a neutral guide.

This allows me to recognise recurring communication and interaction patterns and make them open for discussion. Gaining insight into these patterns is the first step towards change, with the goal of understanding each other better and responding with more kindness and compassion.

This creates space for open communication, vulnerability, and a deeper emotional connection.

3. Trauma

I often work with EMDR therapy. This method helps reduce or remove the emotional intensity of traumatic memories.

4. Burnout

In the first phase, we focus on recovery: slowing down, restoring balance, and rebuilding energy. Once there is more stability, we explore the underlying causes that led to burnout. I also support the process of returning to work and reintegration.

5. Loss and grief

There are many forms of loss in life, such as the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of work, illness, or the loss of the hope of having a child.

Loss often leads to grief. To move through a healthy grieving process, several tasks are involved:

• accepting the reality of the loss

• allowing pain and sadness

• adapting to life without what was deeply important

• finding a place for the loss and continuing with life
  
  

How many therapy sessions are usually needed?

On average, therapy consists of 5 to 15 sessions, depending on your question and situation.

Top 5 issues in my practice

Low self-confidence and insecurity
Clients learn to connect with their insecurity and develop healthy self-confidence, inner calm, and trust.

Relationship problems
Conflicts, feeling stuck, lack of understanding, doubt, or infidelity. Together, we break unhelpful patterns and strengthen emotional connection.

Trauma
Support in processing distressing or overwhelming experiences, so they become less disruptive in daily life.

Burnout
We first focus on recovery and rest, followed by exploring underlying causes and support with returning to work.

Loss and grief
In situations of loss — such as bereavement, divorce, or other major life events — I support the grieving process and help you find a new balance.
