Do you recognise yourself in any of this?
- Something is causing you distress and you can’t quite put a name to it.
- Your teenage son or daughter is changing and you are unsure how to support them.
- At home, conversations end in arguments or silence.
- You are carrying a loss, a change or a story that weighs on you.
- You have left your country and the change weighs more than you expected.
- You have tried to sort it out on your own and it is not enough.
How can I help you?
«Asking for help is not a failure. It is a way to start understanding what is happening to you.»
Therapy for adults, adolescents and families
Adults
Anxiety, distress, grief, exhaustion or relationships that keep repeating. A place to pause and understand what is happening to you.
Adolescents
A space of their own, confidential and non-judgmental. And guidance for parents, without intruding.
Families
When conflict keeps repeating at home, we look together at how you relate to each other, without looking for someone to blame.
In person or by video call
Wherever you are
By secure video call, with the same listening and the same care as in person.
A way of listening to your story and your relationships
I work by integrating psychoanalysis and the systemic approach. Psychoanalysis allows me to listen to what is unique in each person: what the unease is trying to say. The systemic perspective helps me understand it within the relationships where it appears: family, partner, school or work.
I don’t offer quick fixes, but a process we think through together.
What you can expect from me
- Non-judgmental listening. You can talk about what is happening to you however it comes out, without putting it in order first.
- Confidentiality. I am bound by professional secrecy and the Code of Ethics of Psychology.
- Honesty. If I think another professional can help you better, I will tell you and point you in the right direction.
- Working as a network. If needed and with your permission, I coordinate with doctors, psychiatrists or your school.

What people usually ask before starting
What happens in the first session?
We talk about what worries you, your story and what you expect from therapy. You don’t need to prepare anything.
How is my approach different from other therapies?
Psychoanalysis does not only aim to make the symptom disappear, but to understand what it says about your story. That is why the pace and length are adjusted to each person.
How often are sessions?
We agree on it case by case, depending on what you need and what is possible for you.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number: it depends on what brings you here and on your pace. Every so often we review together how the process is going.
Does online therapy work just as well?
For many people, yes. What sustains therapy is the relationship and consistency, and that can also be built at a distance. If I think coming in person would suit you better, I will tell you.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. I am bound by professional secrecy and the Code of Ethics of Psychology. There are only legal exceptions, such as a serious risk to you or to others, and I explain them from the start.
Can I book an appointment for my teenage child if they don’t want to come?
Yes. We often start with the parents, and the adolescent joins when they are ready.
Do I need permission from both parents?
In general, for children under 16 the consent of both parents is required, except for legal exceptions or court rulings. If you are separated, tell me at the first contact and we will look at it calmly.
