My perspective on well-being

At times, it can be challenging to navigate our emotions, thoughts and worries. It’s completely natural to want a deeper understanding of our mental processes. Moreover, our behavior—whether consciously or unconsciously—also affects our physical well-being. We might, for example, become irritated in certain situations for no apparent reason, doom scroll social media to avoid going for a run, or work overtime to please our boss, because we cannot say no.Making long-lasting changes is a complex journey. It requires us to face psychological challenges and step outside of our comfort zone. The key to sustainable adjustments lies in recognising our psychological needs, being mindful about our ineffective patterns, and choosing better coping mechanisms. Standing up for ourselves assertively yet transparently, and carrying our true self in a more confident manner. Shifting from being passive observers to active shapers of our own lives.By doing so, we gain access to one of the most valuable treasures: physical, mental, and social well-being. This translates to more balance with joyful moments on the short-term, and with consistecy, leads to a longer, healthier, more fulfilling life in the course of time.

What can I expect at the consultation?

During our sessions, you will have a safe and supportive space to explore your challenges and concerns. We begin by discussing and assessing your current situation, then together we define a clear goal to work towards. Throughout the process, I will support you with psychoeducation, psychological tools, guided questions, and feedback, helping you find the most suitable path for yourself and make decisions that align with your well-being.

How long does a session last?

The initial orientation session lasts 30 minutes, and regular psychological sessions are 50 minutes long.

How long does the counseling process take?

The duration of the process depends on the nature and complexity of the concerns you bring, as well as your individual pace of progress. Typically, we meet for a minimum of 6-12 sessions, either weekly or biweekly.If we work on lifestyle changes, a longer process of 12-18 sessions is recommended to establish and maintain healthy habits. Depending the amount and complexity of deeper psychological changes, the counseling process can take from 3 to up to 12 months. In these cases, we start with weekly sessions and gradually transition to biweekly or monthly follow-ups.The goals are always set collaboratively during the first few sessions, ensuring that the process remains structured, transparent, and tailored to your needs, and we always have checkpoints to assess whether we should change direction or adjust the frequency.

Do I need to do anything between sessions?

Yes! The real progress happens in daily life, and a key part of therapy is learning to make time for self-reflection and change. After most sessions, I will provide practical exercises or reflections to help you integrate what we discuss. These might involve logging certain behaviours in a diary, relaxation techniques, communication exercises, adjustments in daily habits, self-awareness practices or reading. The good news? Every day is a new opportunity for growth and change.
