About me and my therapy practice
Being a trans & queer first generation immigrant I'm aware of the necessity of intersectional thinking, of power and oppression. I attend to anti-oppressive practice through being attuned to social context (recognising how the systems we live under impact us) and to the inherent power imbalance in therapy. I have a conversational style that is unlike the harmful archetype of a detached, 'neutral' clinician and I make use of immediacy and sensitive self-disclosure to elicit insights, reduce shame and deepen intimacy.

I have experience working with people whose difficulties are around their identities as well as with people whose identities are completely incidental to what they wish to seek support for. I'm passionate about seeing people becoming who they are and integrating parts of themselves they previously haven't accepted.
Alongside private practice, I'm a Visiting Tutor on GSRD and Gestalt Therapy Theory at the Gestalt Centre, London and I'm Deputy Editor of British Gestalt Journal. Outside of therapy engagements I write creatively.
I work bilingually in English and in Hungarian.

About me and my therapy practice
I offer a consistent, supportive, sensitively empowering relational space in which you can come to meet yourself with curiosity, navigate an on-going difficulty, recover from traumatic wounds, (un)learn patterns of relating and expand your repertoire for connecting. Through straightforward, warm and expansive conversations you can increase your capacity to outline and strengthen the contours of your sense of self (clearer boundaries, needs, wants, edges, wounds and pleasures) and develop a readiness to articulate these confidently when needed while retaining your ability to be surprised, to remain open.
