Method

I offer individual psychological guidance. During our initial sessions, we’ll get to know each other and identify your request for help. We further explore how you are doing in life and what difficulties you encounter. I also like to take the time to identify your strengths and what helps you to feel stronger. With this approach we can discover together your unique way of dealing with stressful situations and difficult emotions.

Body-Oriented Trauma Therapy (Somatic Experiencing ) is a technique that focuses on resolving and healing the effects of trauma and stress on the nervous system. I’ll guide you in paying more attention to your physical sensations, movements, and internal experiences. This includes stabilization, self-regulation, naming/expressing emotions, cognition/thoughts and relaxation/grounding/staying present.

If desired, I can also use creative forms of expression, such as drawing, writing, poems, movement, or sound. You don’t need to be skilled at these. These are optional.
