Method

In one or more exploratory sessions you are invited to speak freely about what brings you here. Together we try to explore your complaints and expectations and together we determine the further course and frequency of the sessions.

Free and unforced speech is a powerful tool to become aware of obstacles and inhibitions that we experience in our lives. I will listen to your story without judging it. We try to understand patterns and repetitive dynamics within the context of your life. We also try to get a view on your underlying conscious and unconscious motives and desires. This can lead to a relief of your symptoms, taking another position within the relationship, possibility to make your own choices so you can move through life in a freer way.
