Services
Psychotherapy and Psychological Counseling
Based on years of experience I’m offering psychotherapy treatment for psychological disorders such as burn out syndrome, depression or anxiety disorder e.g. panic attacks, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, OCD or post-traumatic stress disorder.
In addition, I also provide psychological support and counseling services for a variety of problems which by definition aren’t considered a psychological disorder. In such cases, common psychotherapeutic treatment strategies along with my professional support, can help affected individuals to cope with common life challenges such as; problems at school, at work, crisis in life, motivational problems.
After a detailed diagnostic assessment, the treatment will focus on understanding the origins and the development of the disorder. Different exercises and techniques will be used to implement emotional, behavioral and cognitive changes. Thereby, I’ll permanently focus on your individual goals and needs providing you the compass of change towards new perspectives.
Couples Therapy
Having problems in a relationship is nothing out of the ordinary. Over the years, people keep changing and growing. Daily hassles like stress at work or stress in parenting can lead to conflicts and arguments. Ultimately leading to negative interactions unveiling more “uncomfortable” sides of our individual personality. When this is happening, time should to be deliberately invested to rebalance the relationship.
