Approach and Philosophy

I am a clinical psychologist with an integrative, person-centred approach based on scientific evidence. I try to create a safe, empathetic and non-judgemental space where each patient feels truly heard. I use techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Hypnotherapy to promote deep and lasting change. I believe that each person has the inner resources to transform themselves, and my role is to facilitate this process.
