As a UKCP-registered trainee psychotherapist and third-year student at the Metanoia Institute in London, I specialize in Transactional Analysis with a relational approach to therapy.
My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where clients feel at ease to explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges openly. Working from an "I'm OK - You're OK" stance, I foster a collaborative and respectful therapeutic relationship.
My style is dynamic, rooted in empathy and acceptance, encouraging open dialogue and exploration. I help clients identify and understand patterns of behavior, thoughts, and emotions that may be holding them back, empowering them to take meaningful steps toward change. By combining insight with a compassionate approach, I aim to create an environment that promotes growth, healing, and self-awareness, helping clients navigate life's complexities with confidence and clarity.
As a trainee psychotherapist, I have solid experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, particularly with LGBTQ+ refugees, asylum seekers, and trans and non-binary clients. This has deepened my understanding of the unique mental health challenges faced by marginalized groups, including trauma, identity struggles, and societal discrimination. I have honed my skills in providing a compassionate, affirming, and inclusive therapeutic space, supporting clients in navigating issues such as transitioning, cultural displacement, and intersectional identities. My work is grounded in empathy and respect, fostering healing and growth in individuals facing complex and deeply personal challenges.
I offer therapy in French, English, and German, drawing on a deep understanding of multiculturalism and intersectionality. My approach is sensitive to the complexities of diverse cultural backgrounds, experiences, and identities. Whether you are navigating cultural differences or facing unique challenges related to race, gender, or sexuality, I provide a safe, empathetic space to explore and grow, fostering personal well-being through an inclusive, multilingual lens.
