Life. The wondrous flow of existence. How we yearn to bask in its boundless beauty! It becomes profoundly fulfilling and richly meaningful when we move in harmony with its tides. Yet, it turns challenging, frustrating, and painful when we resist its natural course. We seek happiness yet remain puzzled by its elusiveness. The mystery lies in our understanding of its mysteries, or rather, our lack thereof.
My sessions are a fine-tuned integration of psychology, neuroscience, philosophy and experiential realities, encompassing existential analysis and logotherapy, neurobiology, embodied trauma therapy, cognitive and behavioural therapy, constellation and systems therapy, somatic therapy, breathwork and altered states of consciousness, internal family systems therapy (IFS), non-violent communication (NVC) and spiritual tenets of non-dual teachings from Tibetan Buddhism and Classical Kashmir Shaivism.
This integrative framework addresses disturbances at psychological, psychosomatic, and psychosocial levels, extending across the non-conscious, conscious and meta conscious. By focussing on “existence,” it facilitates a life rich in meaning, shaped by freedom and responsibility within one’s unique reality.
The therapeutic journey is one of phenomenological exploration, delving into feelings, somatic experiencing, perceptions, values and meaning. It includes biographical work and compassionate inquiry, designed to help you transcend perceptual distortions, fixations, dysregulation and trauma. This path ultimately guides you toward your authentic values and life purposes.
Going beyond mere verbal processes, the integration of somatic therapy and elements of both modern and ancient philosophies deepens the therapeutic experience. This approach recognises and leverages the interconnectedness of mind, heart, body, and the world. It emphasize the cultivation of embodied inner awareness, mindfulness and balance, offering a holistic path to healing and self discovery.
