Methodology
How I work with self-esteem and self-knowledge
We work so that you can better understand your emotions, identify the thoughts and behaviours that may be affecting you, strengthen your self-esteem and confidence, and clarify what you need, want and value at this stage of your life. I combine tools from cognitive-behavioural therapy, a humanistic approach and mindfulness practices, at your pace and without judgement.
International life
Self-esteem and living in another country
When you live in another language and another culture, it is common to find it hard to express yourself with all your nuances and for your points of reference to no longer fully work, and that can affect how you see yourself. If you recognise yourself in this, you can also read about migration grief.
