Focus
Each of us is unique and much more than the sum of the experiences we have had in life. The secret is to discover how these experiences are interrelated and how our unique potential can help.
Burnout and Depression
Everyone knows what it feels like to be tired, to have had a bad night's sleep, when your memory is letting you down, or when you are 'feeling blue' for a day. In such cases, recovery is almost naturally, because the cause is somewhat clear to us, because we accept it or take action in opposite direction and because such feelings are often not accompanied by persistent negative thoughts about ourselves.

Burn-out and depression are not just over after 'a day or twoo' , they do not go away just by itself. Sometimes the cause is clear, sometimes there is not 'one' cause. Sometimes it has come to a point where we feel that we are no longer able to think or we get a headache just by thinking about it.
We feel hopeless because we no longer know what to do or because we cannot find an immediately solution. We often have negative judgments about ourselves, we are focused on what we cannot do, and feel overwhelmed. We are caught in a negative spiral, which affects our functioning and our lives, which in turn damages our self-esteem and the positive image of ourselves.
Do you recognize any of this? Let me help you to find the strength within yourself to break out of it.
There is a lot I can help you with, there is a lot you can discover about yourself and that can make you feel proud.
Let's meet and talk about it. I am curious about you and your personal story.
Fear and anxiety
Everyone is scared or anxious from time to time. Fear is an emotion, and it is also a useful and healthy reaction if it helps you to avoid dangerous situations. For example, if your cooking pan is on fire, you’ll probably take quick action to extinguish the pan fire, and to save yourself and others.

But there are also situations that do not actually pose an imminent danger, such as shopping or traveling by public transport. Yet some people can be highly afraid in such situations, such than they no longer dare to go outside. Fear is than ruling your life.
Whether you are afraid to travel, causing you to avoid certain destinations, or afraid to be in public or closed spaces, causing you to avoid certain places or you are experiencing panic attacks that cause you to avoid exams, presentations or social situations: when fear paralyzes you and your personal functioning fear is no longer a healthy reaction and it is important to face that fear.
I can help you with a taylor-made approach.
Take the first step toward a life free from fear and anxiety and book your consultation.
Trauma and Identity
When we speak about trauma, we often think of what happened to us — a painful event, a loss, abuse, or neglect.

But trauma is more than an experience in the past.
It leaves traces — in the body, the nervous system, and deep within our sense of self.
Trauma touches us on a fundamental level. It changes how we see ourselves, how we inhabit our bodies, and how we connect with others.
• You may feel disconnected from the person you were before the trauma.
• You may have developed inner parts that helped you survive — a pusher, a pleaser, a controller, or a withdrawn part.
• You may struggle with self-image, shame, or a sense of being “different.”
• Your body may not feel safe — even many years later.
These responses are not choices. They are traces of survival — intelligent adaptations of a system that did its best to protect you.
My Approach
Healing from trauma requires gentleness, safety, and attunement.
In my work, I draw from four complementary perspectives:
🔹 1. The body remembers what the mind tries to forget
(Bessel van der Kolk)
Trauma lives on in the body — in tension, numbness, hypervigilance, or physical symptoms without clear cause.
Together, we focus on rebuilding a sense of safety, learning to feel again, and restoring trust in your body — step by step.
🔹 2. Parts work: You are more than your pain
(Janina Fisher)
In response to trauma, you may have developed different inner parts — some holding pain, others keeping you safe.
Through compassionate awareness, we learn to recognize and understand these parts, giving space to your wise, grounded adult self.
🔹 3. The nervous system as compass
(Deb Dana – Polyvagal Theory)
Your instinctive reactions — fight, flight, or freeze — arise from your autonomic nervous system.
By gently exploring moments of safety and threat, we build capacity for regulation and re-establish trust — in yourself and in relationship with others.
🔹 4. The body as a pathway to change
(Pat Ogden – Sensorimotor Psychotherapy)
Sometimes, words are not enough.
Through mindful, body-based exploration, we bring awareness to frozen emotions, reflexes, and patterns — allowing movement, release, and deeper integration.
Reconnecting with Yourself
Healing trauma is not about remembering or understanding what happened.
It’s about coming home to yourself — reconnecting with who you are, beyond the trauma.
It’s about reclaiming your dignity, your vitality, and the deep knowing that you are worthy of being exactly as you are.
A Safe Space for Healing
Would you like to explore how trauma has shaped your sense of self?
You don’t have to do it alone.
In my practice, I offer a safe, attuned space where we gently explore what your system needs in order to heal.
You are warmly invited to reach out for an introductory session.
