Each therapist has a central therapeutic approach that guides their understanding and perception of the treatment. Different therapists come from diverse therapeutic worlds. The two main approaches that guide me in my work are Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and Structural therapy. 

 

Emotionally focused therapy introduces a deep understanding of behaviours, thoughts, and emotions into the therapeutic process. In individual therapy, it helps us to distinguish between the different voices living within us, to let go of unhelpful thought patterns, and to come closer to our authentic selves. In couples and family therapy, EFT allows us to convey our experience to others in a deep and meaningful way, and gives us the tools to open ourselves to the experience of others.

 

Structural therapy allows us to view the issue that brings us to therapy in a broad context beyond our feelings, thoughts, and actions. I am interested in all the relationships and spaces that shape a person’s life. Whether it is in their family of origin, romantic relationship, peer group, professional environment, or their social and political environments. All of these aspects affect how we progress, overcome difficulties, and grow. 

 

For me, beyond any therapeutic position, the most essential thing in therapy is the bond that forms between therapist and client. Therapy is a space where two people meet to allow one of them to think, feel, and explore, but both remain present as equals.

 

I believe it is important for therapists to have access to various approaches and tools, and the know-how to adapt to the client’s specific needs. That is why I incorporate techniques from AEDP, somatic-oriented approaches, and Mindfulness. This allows me to build a unique and personal therapeutic experience together with each client.
