About Me
Approach
My basic approach to observing people is HUMANISTIC
My training in Art Therapy is GESTALT-based.
The humanistic approach
👉focuses on the client by SEEING THE PERSON AS A WHOLE: feelings, mind, body and soul.
👉It assumes that each person develops an ACTIVE SELF.
👉All our actions (all mental and physical activities) are geared towards providing STRUCTURE and MEANING and fulfilling our BASIC NEEDS.
👉Another fundamental driving force of our organism, is the NEED FOR SELF-FULFILMENT, i.e. we strive to grow and develop.
Gestalt therapy is holistic and humanistic, is client-centred and not directive and starts from the ‘here and now’ of experience.
Services
Your are not alone! Coping with psychological or social problems can be very difficult to achieve, even when supported by loved ones. Together we'll develop a path that's tailored to you and helps you find a moment of relief.
YOU DEFINE THE GOALS while I take care of the process and methods in a context where you can feel free to express yourself and explore your emotions.
💫FOCUSING ON YOUR CURRENT SITUATION💫we will explore specific CONFLICTS & INHIBITIONS in your present life by analysing the underlying history based patterns and dynamics, aiming to UNDERSTAND, ADDRESS and ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE THEM
To introduce different perspectives and help you get in touch with your subconscious, we will use photographs, collages, drawings and guided imagery in addition to therapeutic dialogue.
You do not have to be a creative type or have artistic experience or talents to benefit from a session. We will use these tools when necessary to facilitate reflection.
Whether you prefer FACE TO FACE sessions in my studio in Berlin Friedrichshain or the convenience of ONLINE THERAPY, I am ready to help you on your journey. Sessions are available in ENGLISH, ITALIANO & ESPAÑOL making therapy accessible and inclusive for all.
