You realise that you’ve been ‘in survival mode’ for some time now and that old patterns keep driving you, no matter how hard you try. Perhaps you feel tired, irritable or drained, or you keep getting stuck in your work, relationships or decisions. In my practice, I offer support tailored to your specific needs (rather than based on a particular method), helping you to regain control of your life, your boundaries and your energy. Together, we’ll explore what this is really about, so that you can make a lasting recovery and move forward again.
I can support you with questions about
Stress & burnout
You feel exhausted, you’re not sleeping well and your mind never switches off. You set high standards for yourself, keep pushing on and find that taking a break might even make you feel guilty. In my counselling sessions, we’ll look at the underlying causes of your symptoms, such as patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, taking on too much responsibility or feeling unable to say ‘no’ safely. You’ll learn to recognise your body’s signals, set boundaries and make choices that truly suit you.
(Childhood) trauma and attachment
Perhaps you experienced traumatic events during your childhood or had important basic needs unmet, which is why you still feel on edge, insecure or easily overwhelmed. You find it difficult to trust yourself or keep finding yourself in the same patterns in relationships. Using trauma-focused methods (including IoPT and IZR), we work step by step towards recovery. You’ll come to understand where your coping mechanisms stem from and how to reconnect with yourself, rather than simply reacting out of old pain.
Personal development & identity
You want to discover who you are, separate from the expectations of your family, work or social circle. Questions such as “What sort of work suits me?”, “How do I stay true to myself?” or “How do I find peace of mind?” play a major role. During the sessions, you’ll explore your values, boundaries and aspirations, and practise adopting new behaviours in your daily life. This will help you build greater self-confidence, find inner peace and live a life that’s more in tune with who you really are.
This is how I work
We’ll start with an introductory session where you can take your time to explain the challenges you’re facing and what you hope to achieve. Together, we’ll clarify what you need help with and see whether my approach suits your needs. In the subsequent sessions, I combine talk therapy with body-oriented and trauma-focused methods, such as IoPT and IZR, tailored to your pace and capacity. You won’t be given a standard protocol, but a bespoke programme that allows space for feeling, understanding and practical application in your daily life.
I work in a clear, direct and engaged manner: I ask probing questions and challenge you where it is helpful, always within a safe and respectful environment. Between sessions, you may be given exercises to apply new insights straight away, for example regarding boundaries, self-care or recognising triggers. You remain in control of your process: you decide what you want to share, what steps you take and at what pace. My aim is that, in time, you will no longer need me, because you will have developed enough stability, insight and resilience to move forward on your own.
