Cognitive behavioural therapy
Cognitive behavioural therapy is one of the foundations I work from, especially when anxiety, OCD (ERP), body hypervigilance, repetitive thoughts or patterns of avoidance and control appear. It helps us understand how what you think, what you feel, what happens in the body and how you respond are connected.
But for me it is not about applying techniques rigidly or “thinking positive”. It is about understanding what maintains distress, which attempts at solving it are no longer helping, and how to begin building freer, more flexible and sustainable responses.
What cognitive behavioural therapy can offer
This approach can help identify repeating patterns: anticipation, rumination, checking, avoidance, hypervigilance, self-demand or fear of uncertainty. From there, the work is not only about changing thoughts, but about changing your relationship with them, with your body, with your emotions and with what you fear.
A foundation with a human and systemic perspective
I work with a cognitive behavioural foundation, integrated with a systemic, relational and contextual perspective. This means I do not look at symptoms in isolation from your history, your relationships, your body or your current life moment.
When it makes sense, I also integrate mindfulness and compassion-focused therapy tools, so that the process is not only about understanding or doing, but also about learning to be with yourself differently.
Structure without rigidity
Cognitive behavioural therapy can bring structure, clarity and concrete tools. But the process needs to adapt to you: to your history, your pace and what you can hold today.
Therapy can help you better understand what is happening, reduce automatic responses that maintain distress and recover more space to live.
