Coming to counselling can feel like a big step. You may not know exactly what you need, or perhaps you have been carrying something for a long time. Whatever brings you here, I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can explore what is happening for you at your own pace. Being multilingual, I understand that language can be much more than a way of communicating. It can be closely connected to our identity, culture, relationships, memories and sense of belonging. I also take a neuro-affirmative approach, recognising that people experience, process and interact with the world in different ways.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, tailoring our work to your individual needs rather than expecting you to fit into one particular model. I offer an integrative, person-centred and culturally sensitive approach tailored to your needs and goals. Together, we can explore how your experiences, relationships, thoughts and feelings shape your wellbeing. I aim to provide a warm, respectful, non-judgemental space where you can work at your own pace. Our work is collaborative, adapting the approach to what feels helpful for you.

My role is not to tell you who you should be or what you should do. Instead, I will work alongside you, with curiosity, compassion and respect, to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and explore what you may need moving forward. You don't have to wait until things become unbearable before asking for support.

I offer therapy in the following languages: English, German, Romanian and Hungarian.

I understand that therapy is an investment and am happy to work with you to keep it affordable. I offer several payment options, and an invoice is available upon request.
