Common Issues I Work With

✔ Low Self-Esteem & Self-Doubt
Do you often feel "not good enough" or compare yourself to others? Therapy can help you develop a more compassionate and confident self-image.

✔ Chronic Stress & Anxiety
If stress and worries are overwhelming you, I can help you learn techniques to manage anxiety and regain a sense of balance.

✔ Emotional Regulation Difficulties
Do you struggle with expressing or controlling your emotions? Whether it's anger, sadness, or frustration, we can work together to find healthier ways to cope.

✔ Relationship & Attachment Issues
Recurring patterns in your relationships—whether romantic, family, or friendships—might stem from deeper emotional wounds. Understanding and reshaping these patterns can lead to more fulfilling connections.

✔ Perfectionism & High Self-Criticism
Are you constantly pushing yourself to do more but never feeling satisfied? If self-criticism and unrealistic expectations are draining your energy, therapy can help shift your perspective.

✔ Fear of Rejection & People-Pleasing
Do you find it hard to say no or assert your own needs? We can explore the underlying fears and work towards setting healthier boundaries.

✔ Life Transitions & Decision-Making Difficulties
Major life changes—moving abroad, changing careers, or starting a family—can bring uncertainty. Therapy can support you in gaining clarity and confidence in your decisions.

✔ Child & Adolescent Issues
I also work with children (4-7 years old) using play therapy elements to help with separation anxiety, behavioral difficulties, and emotional regulation. Additionally, I support teenagers (12+) in managing school-related stress, self-esteem issues, and emotional struggles.

What Is Schema Therapy?

Schema therapy is a modern and effective therapeutic approach that helps us understand how early life experiences shape our current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is particularly useful for long-standing emotional difficulties and recurring life patterns that traditional approaches may not fully address.

🔹 What are schemas?
Schemas are deep-seated beliefs and emotional patterns that develop in childhood. They influence how we see ourselves, others, and the world. Some common schemas include:

• "I am not good enough."
• "People will abandon me."
• "I must always meet high standards to be accepted."

🔹 How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and experiential techniques to help you:
✅ Identify and understand your schemas.
✅ Recognize how these patterns affect your daily life and relationships.
✅ Develop healthier coping strategies and emotional responses.

🔹 Who can benefit from schema therapy?
This approach is particularly effective for individuals who:
✔ Experience chronic self-doubt or self-criticism.
✔ Struggle with relationship difficulties or fear of abandonment.
✔ Feel stuck in repetitive emotional or behavioral patterns.
✔ Want to develop greater self-awareness and emotional resilience.
