Therapeutic approach

I work primarily within the framework of humanistic psychotherapies . This means that I place a central importance on empathy and unconditional acceptance of the person I am working with. Not as something abstract or a mere tool, but as something authentically experienced. Cultivating these attitudes is part of my personal work as a therapist. The goal is to be able to offer you a facilitating atmosphere in which to explore your experience safely, where you can give voice and meaning to your emotions, especially those that are more buried, those experienced as unacceptable or incomprehensible, learning to listen to them from acceptance and curiosity . This process validates, empowers, reconciles and opens new paths for change .

Within this climate of empathetic accompaniment, there will be times when I can suggest techniques, ways of conceptualizing or facing a situation, always in a tentative and collaborative way, always keeping in mind that you are the one who knows you best.

In working with couples, the goal is to help them recognize and transform negative patterns of interaction, fostering greater emotional connection and security in the relationship through the identification and expression of emotions and the reconstruction of a secure bond.

There are several therapeutic approaches and theories that I find useful and that inform my therapeutic practice. If you have knowledge of psychotherapy, previous experience as a patient, or are simply curious, here are some of those approaches: person-centered therapy, emotionally focused couple therapy (EFT), cognitive-behavioral approaches, mindfulness, ... I advocate a pluralistic and flexible model of therapy, which tries to adapt to the person rather than trying to make the person adapt to the model.

I understand mental health as intrinsically linked to our relationships and the social environment in which we live. Happiness and suffering are not purely individual; they do not arise in a vacuum, but within a social context . The pressures and deep inequalities to which we are exposed inevitably influence how we perceive ourselves, how we feel and the difficulties we face. I believe that therapy must take these dynamics into account and avoid an individualistic view of mental health, which is neither realistic nor fair.
