Psychotherapeutic Approach
My core training and the main therapeutic approaches I use in my practice are Person-Centered Therapy (Carl Rogers) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (Aaron T. Beck, Judith S. Beck). However, I favor an integrative approach where I often borrow tools or principles from other approaches (e.g. Psychodynamic Therapy, Existential Therapy, Systemic Therapy etc.) if I assess that they are going to be beneficial for my clients.
I firmly believe that therapy is a collaborative process between therapist and client and the true catalyst for therapeutic change is the willingness and openness to work together.
Clinical Interest
My clinical interest and expertise is directed towards Anxiety Disorders (e.g. generalised anxiety disorders, social phobias, specific phobias (e.g., agoraphobia and claustrophobia), panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and post-traumatic stress disorder), Mood Disorders (e.g. Depression, Bipolar disorder etc.), Eating Disorders, Personality Disorders and Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders.
