He practices as an internationally accredited counsellor and adheres to established professional and ethical standards.
I offer structured, relationally grounded, and evidence-based counselling with a focus on both understanding and practical change.
My work is based on:
Over ten years of international clinical experience
A trauma-informed approach
High ethical standards and strict confidentiality
Cultural awareness and experience with international environments
An integrative method combining reflection and practical strategies
I work particularly with professionals in demanding environments, where high performance expectations often coexist with internal strain, stress, or major life transitions.
Sessions are tailored to each individual’s needs and take place within a safe, professional, and structured framework.
