With over 20 years of experience in psychological counselling, I support adolescents in overcoming emotional and learning difficulties and in making informed career choices.
About
Psychologist with extensive experience supporting adolescents and their parents in overcoming learning, emotional, career-related, and other challenges that arise during adolescence. In my work, I draw on approaches from mindfulness, humanistic and positive psychology, sensory integration, NLP, nonviolent communication (NVC), and coaching. With my guidance, adolescents are able to find their way out of difficulties more quickly. Through a structured approach to problem-solving, I help them recognize their strengths, develop strategies to strengthen weaker areas, and discover practical solutions for managing challenges more effectively.
