CONFIDENTIALITY - Everything a client shares stays confidential.
RESPECT AND ACCEPTANCE - All emotions, feelings and experiences can be here
HOPE AND POSITIVE EXPECTATION - I have a strong belief in positive outcome even in smilingly ‘impossible’ circumstances and that client pursues challenging yet achievable goals.
How I work
"The existential attitude to life can be compared to that of Buddhists and Stoics. Life is seen as a constant challenge that can be answered more fictitiously if you stand in a position of composure and determination, rather than avoidance and self-deception." - Emmy Van Deurzen
Frequently asked questions
When should I consider seeking therapy?
You may want to consider seeking therapy if you are experiencing complex emotions, challenges in communication or daily life, or if previously effective solutions are no longer working. Other reasons include feeling hopeless or experiencing thoughts of suicide, wanting to engage in more productive self-reflection, or wanting to become emotionally stronger and more stable.
Maybe I should I talk to a friend instead of seeking therapy?
It is not recommended as a friends does not guarantee your privacy. Sharing personal information with a friend could make you vulnerable to others, and your friend may not be equipped to solve your problem. You will experience relief from speaking, but friends may also offer advice that is not suitable for your situation. Seeking therapy provides a confidential and supportive environment to address your concerns with a trained professional.
Should I go in therapy again if previous experience with psychologist/psychotherapist didn't help me?
Any prior therapy experience can be a valuable source of insight for the next therapy you choose to pursue. While the decision to try therapy again is entirely yours, it’s worth remembering that each therapist is a different person, works with different approaches and methods, and that timing also plays an important role in how therapy unfolds.
If returning to your previous therapist isn’t an option for any reason, your prior experience can still become a meaningful part of your next therapeutic process. Talking about what helped, what didn’t, and what you expected from therapy can enrich your work with a new therapist and help shape a different experience.
How many therapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions needed varies for each individual since each person's request and psyche are unique. Some may need only a few sessions to address their concerns, while others may require more prolonged therapy. One person comes into a therapy as soon as they begin to feel discomfort from the situation, and another suffers for years and has already caused themself a lot of harm. It is logical that more time will be needed in the second case.
Is in-person therapy more effective than online?
No. The format itself does not determine the effectiveness of therapy. It is largely a matter of personal preference and practical circumstances. In a large city like Bogotá, traveling to a therapist’s office may not be feasible for some people, while others may not have a quiet, private space at home for an hour-long online session.
