Appointments
Work with me from anywhere
Currently, I offer therapy online via Zoom.
Online therapy is an effective and convenient option, especially if you have a tight schedule. Plus, you can work with me from the comfort of your home or anywhere else, wherever you live.
Languages: English and Romanian
"The high standards we set for ourselves, combined with the many responsibilities we have to handle, can negatively impact our self-esteem, motivation, and sense of purpose, causing us to react strongly to setbacks and feel unfulfilled."
Free initial session
I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation via Zoom or phone.
In this session, we’ll get to know each other. It will be more like a calibration conversation in which we’ll go through the challenges you want to overcome and see if there is a match between us. That’s because the quality of our relationship or the “chemistry” between us is a crucial factor in the success of your results.
Here, you can ask me any questions you may have before booking your first session.
Whether we work together or not, this discussion will remain confidential.
Your first appointment
During your first appointment, we’ll expand on what brought you to me.
This session will include an assessment so that I learn more about your situation and understand the factors that have caused the problem you seek help for, your history, your strengths and resources, and your expectations.
Based on this information, we will work together to establish clear, attainable goals and an action plan tailored to your unique needs. I mentioned the word “together” because your role will be as important as mine in our relationship. To emphasise this collaborative approach, I like to use the phrase “Help me to help you” during our sessions, a principle I learned from my mentor.
During our initial session, we will roughly determine the number of sessions needed to accomplish your goals, depending on your needs. Progressing through therapy, we’ll assess the effectiveness of your plan and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that we stay on track towards achieving your goals.
Your following appointments
Subsequent sessions last 50 to 60 minutes. I usually have sessions every other week. However, if you want to schedule them weekly, I will support you in your choice, and we will work as you need.
We will track your progress from one session to another and implement practical techniques for change. My goal is to create a lasting impact in therapy and to empower you with practical skills to become self-reliant. You can ask questions or express any concerns, as this is your time for personal development in a comforting space.
To maximise therapy outcomes, I will assign you various activities between sessions. They have the role of helping you to cope at any time and to speed up the therapy process, avoiding dependence on me as a paid “friend”.
Cancellation policy
Kindly notify me at least 24 hours prior to your appointment if a cancellation or rescheduling is necessary. Last-minute cancellations or not showing up will be charged at the full session rate unless it is due to an emergency, in which case I will be as accommodating as possible.
