My work focuses on the inner dynamics that shape a person’s life: the forces behind decisions, the way relationships form, what affects closeness, desire, stability, and one’s sense of self.
Alongside personal experience, attention is also given to archetypal processes — forms of psychological life that arise from the collective unconscious and often appear through dreams, fantasies, symbolic material, and emotional responses that feel disproportionate or unexpected. This kind of work helps bring clarity to inner conflicts, recognise repeating patterns, and create more freedom in how one relates, chooses, and navigates life.
Approach
My practice is grounded in analytical (Jungian) and psychodynamic traditions.
The work often unfolds through attention to:
- relational patterns — in both personal and professional life;
- transference and resistance;
- dreams, fantasies, and inner figures;
- emotional reactions that are not fully understood or articulated;
- archetypal patterns connected with the collective unconscious.
Change tends to emerge gradually, as a person becomes better able to notice the internal logic of their own experience — how feelings, choices, and interactions take shape from within. In organizational consulting, the same depth of observation is used, with an additional structured components, which can be included in any management system or framework.
