    Introduction

    I am a Certified Psychologist, a Pro-Environmental Psychologist and a Counseling Psychologist (in progress).

    I provide personalized, professional and confidential mental well-being counseling to my clients with empathy and acceptance. I support individuals on their way of seeking their personal improvements, learning, growth and change. I guide my clients with patience through the process of exploring the underlying causes of life difficulties that are naturally part of our everyday lives.

    I employ Rogersian person-centered and Adlerian individual psychology approaches combined with nature-based- therapy techniques. The symbols and metaphors given by nature can reduce the clients’ resistance to functional changes during the psychological process. This way clients, building on their own personal experiences, can approach their problems from different perspectives and can facilitate proposals to better solutions.
