I
draw from a variety of concepts and methods such as attachment theory,
relational psychoanalytic paradigm, differentiation approach, systems
theory, as well as new concepts originating from neourobiological
research that confirm our need for relatedness and safety. Having extensive education and training in these various approaches allows me to put
the specific needs and issues of the individual client first rather
than fitting the client into a specific framework.
My
work is also based on my extensive life experience having worked in
different professions and lived in different countries. In order to
initiate lasting change and growth the working through of conflicts and
deeper understanding of problems has to lead to practical
implementations in the real day to day life of the client.
Research
shows that the success of therapy depends mainly on the fit between
client and therapist and on the therapist's personality rather than on
his or her theoretical orientation. The basis for the therapist's
ability to connect and work with clients is rooted in his real and
varied life experiences and to a lesser degree in the knowledge
accumulated in academic institutions.
I
am an interactive therapist who works with clients to explore relevant
issues and to develop a frame that allows for profound support as well
as challenge and deep questioning.
