About Me
I offer a warm, authentic, and non-judgemental space for cooperative exploration. My eclectic approach integrates therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, helping you focus on practical steps. With over ten years of expatriate experience, I understand the complexities of international life. This background helps me support individuals navigating transitions or cultural adjustments. Our respectful, client-centred sessions aim to find a clear way forward.
Approach
I guide sessions to move between clarifying practical steps and exploring the values that matter to you, using gentle inquiry and agreed small experiments. In Kalmar and online, in English or Russian, we set a steady pace—short focused aims, reflective tasks between meetings, and flexible check-ins that fit expatriate rhythms. I use mindful noticing alongside relational mapping to reveal patterns, gently challenge limiting stories, and try out new ways of responding. This collaborative, paced approach often helps adults and couples navigating transitions find clearer, manageable next steps.
