How I decided to be a therapist
The purpose of my journey of studying psychology was to know who I am and to find solutions for my psychological issues and problems. The more I study myself searching for the answers, the more I felt I was ready to help other people.
How I would like to help clients as a therapist
I understand very well how it feels like to suffer from psychological issues, and it's not a shame, but it can be a valuable asset later in your life. I can help you change the pain into a future asset.
What my theoretical orientation is as a therapist
I started my career from psychoanalytic theoretical background, but later I was also trained in Humanitarian environment for children. I try to provide tailored therapy sessions for each client based on eclectic theories.
