Integrative psychotherapy
Specialist integrative psychotherapist. Integrative psychotherapy does not pick one school and impose it on everyone. It starts from the person, from their pace and from what they need right now, then builds the path out of the instruments that fit them: work with emotion, with thought, with the body, with the life story and with the relationship.
I work integratively because people do not arrive divided into chapters. Someone comes in with an anxiety that has, at the same time, a thinking component, a bodily one, a family-history one and a relational one.
Treating only one chapter means leaving the person to repair the rest alone. That is why I do not impose a school: I build the path out of the instruments that suit them.
In short
- Over 20 years of practice in psychotherapy and clinical psychology
- Integrative training, with supervision
- I work with adults, couples and adolescents
- Sessions at the practice or online
Three things that change how therapy goes
The map before the method
The first part of the work is not therapy yet, it is clarity: what is happening, since when, against what background, what you have already tried and what helped, even a little.
Progress you can see
Every stage has a goal said out loud and a sign by which we know it has been reached. We do not work "until we feel better".
Brain data, next to the conversation
When a brain map shows an alert network permanently switched on, "why can I not calm down even though I understand everything" becomes a question with an answer. You are not lazy; you have a brain asking for something other than willpower.
Four steps, in this order
Initial assessment
Together we establish what brings you, since when, against what background, and what the concrete goal is. We do not start therapy before we know where we want to get to.
A plan with stages
Each stage has a clear purpose and a sign by which we know it has been reached. Progress is seen, not assumed.
Combined instruments
Cognitive-behavioural work, work with emotion, nervous-system regulation techniques, clinical hypnotherapy, elements of trauma therapy. Whatever helps gets used.
Anchored in data
Where it is useful, we place the qEEG brain map next to the conversation. Therapy becomes measurable, not only felt.
What brings you, what sits behind it, what we work on
| What brings you | What sits behind it | What we work on together |
|---|---|---|
| Anxiety that does not yield to arguments | A nervous system stuck on alert | Physiological regulation plus work on the anxious thought |
| Exhaustion and loss of meaning | Resources spent faster than they are rebuilt | Pace, boundaries, recovery, then direction |
| The same conflicts, with a different partner | A relationship pattern learned early | The relational history and the choices that repeat |
| Reactions out of proportion to the situation | An experience that never closed | Trauma work, in steps, safety first |
The four most frequent situations. The order of the stages is agreed in the first session.
The table scrolls sideways.
The reasons people come to this field with
I am not asking you to change. I show you why you work the way you do, and from there you choose.
In the press and on air
The subjects I explain publicly, in national publications and in podcasts.
Not sure this is the right field for you?
A first conversation clears up exactly that. You tell me what is happening, I tell you honestly which field the work belongs to and whether someone else is needed.
