I come from a multicultural background, and I have lived in a few different countries in Africa and Europe. I have always had a strong passion for helping and empathizing with those around me. It seemed only natural to pursue a career in health care, so I decided to study psychology. I am highly interested in psychological research and the science behind how humans operate. I therefore spend a lot of my private time reading scientific journals and listening to lectures. I think it is always important, no matter one’s field, to consider as many approaches as possible.
In contrast, I consider empathy to be the most important part of what I do. We are emotional creatures, and to understand my client on that level is fundamental for our relationship. Having been through some situations of my own, I can also relate first-hand to some issues my clients may bring to sessions.
My approach to mental wellbeing is holistic, as I like to consider multiple factors when looking at what makes us balanced individuals. Therefore my approach takes into consideration somatic approaches to therapy, attachment theory, systemic approaches, neuroscience, cognitive behavioural approaches, Gestalt theory, and more. I believe very strongly in the power of the therapeutic relationship. Therefore my focus is to make sure that I stay as informed, as competent, and as empathetic as possible for my clients.
