I work at the point where scientific knowledge meets lived experience. My approach is informed by:

• my medical and neuroscience training
• my knowledge of stress physiology and psychology
• years of academic research and mentoring
• personal experience with crisis, burnout, and recovery

I recognize that most individuals already possess deep intellectual insight into their challenges but remain stalled because change is not just a cognitive exercise: it is embedded in the nervous system, the body, and established patterns of thinking and behavior (more details in my blog post).

To address this complexity, I combine the structured goal-orientation of the GROW model with the evidence-based principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These frameworks are not applied in a rigid way, but used as orientation points within a process that remains adapted to the individual. This approach allows us to move beyond analysis to create physiological stability and cognitive flexibility, enabling a more adaptive response to stress and challenging emotions for true, lasting transformation.

Working step by step

I do not work with static methods or quick solutions. Instead, we work step by step, starting from what is present. This may involve:

• clarifying what feels difficult or unclear
• noticing how you respond under pressure
• understanding recurring patterns
• allowing space for reflection and adjustment

We aim to open up a space for creative solutions to test and experiment with. In this way change is seen as a gradual process, not something that needs to be forced.
