My path to becoming a practitioner for psychotherapy wasn\u2019t straightforward. That\u2019s exactly what has shaped my approach and the way I work.

When I was five, I wanted to become a nurse.

The only thing I knew was that I wanted to be there for humans and animals that needed help. My very first patients were stuffed animals.

But life took me into the tech world first. Computers and technology have always fascinated me, and they still do. They\u2019re just part of me. They stand for my analytic side, my curiosity, and the joy of finding solutions.

Despite that, I always had the feeling that something was missing. It didn\u2019t feel complete. My job was a great match with my abilities \u2013 but not necessarily a match with my heart.

Next to my work in tech, I volunteered as a paramedic and performed on stage as an actress. Whenever I did those things, they felt right. I felt deeply connected \u2013 to myself and to the world.

At some point, I stopped constantly adapting. And I began walking the path that felt right to me. That\u2019s when I started my training as a practitioner for psychotherapy.

When I sat with my first practice client, I knew: I was finally home.

I chose my therapeutic methods based on what I would have wanted for myself.
I know that feeling so well \u2013 of having understood a lot, and still not knowing how to actually use that knowledge in day to day life. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to me that therapy doesn\u2019t stop at realizations. I want to support people in finding their very own path.

Practice what you preach \u2013 that\u2019s genuinely true for me. Every method I work with, I\u2019m not just teaching it. I\u2019m living it.

I have learnt that thoughts aren\u2019t facts. To give space for my emotions. And to make decisions with the heart, not just with the brain. I know that this doesn\u2019t make life easier. But I have learnt how much can change once you stop fighting yourself.

My work has been shaped by my own experiences. I always wanted someone next to me who sees me without judgement. That\u2019s the kind of presence I want to offer.

My work combines elements of person-centred therapy (Carl Rogers), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT).

I\u2019m just a human being. I\u2019m still figuring it all out. I have a curious brain that needs food. And I understood that there is no endpoint. It\u2019s a never-ending path. I\u2019m walking it \u2013 as a human being and as a practitioner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
