Education & experience

I have enhanced my training in Adlerian Psychology, a humanistic positive approach to psychotherapy, with extensive practice in Mindfulness-based & Trauma-informed therapies.

Since 2019, I have undertaken extensive training with Thomas Hübl on Individual, Intergenerational, Collective & Ancestral Trauma Healing through the Academy of Inner Science.

  • Love, Trauma & Healing (Thomas Hübl in collaboration with Terry Real of Relational Life Therapy - 2025)

  • Timeless Wisdom Training (Intensive 2 year Program on Individual, Intergenerational, Collective & Ancestral Trauma Healing from 2022-2023)

  • Healing Collective Trauma ( 2020)

  • Evolutionary Relationships (Thomas Hübl with Terry Real of Relational Life Therapy - 2019)

Building on this approach, I tailor each session to the client’s needs, blending art therapy and talk therapy as appropriate. The use of art is always optional, and clients are never required to engage in it if they feel uncomfortable.

Other techniques sometimes used in sessions include:

  •  Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

  • Applied Metapsychology using Traumatic Incident Reduction technique (TIR) & Life Stress Reduction technique (LSR)
