Hi, I'm Nele!

​

I appreciate that as you consider psychotherapy, all kinds of feelings and questions may come up. Perhaps a part of you has been thinking about it for a long time, or maybe recent events/experiences are bringing you here. You may be very clear on what you want to address, or you may feel uncertain about where to start. Part of you may long for change, while another part is afraid to go there. Whatever brings you in – I invite you to come as you are… I will meet you there. 


During our first 1-2 sessions, I'll guide you in exploring your background, unraveling what brings you in, and clarifying your hopes, desires, and goals. Once I understand more fully, I will share with you where I believe our work (and your transformation) might lead and which therapeutic methods could be a good fit for you. I put a strong emphasis on collaboration and choice in this process. I strive to find a balance between bringing you comfort and compassionately challenging you. Patiently and persistently. Your space at your pace, where I help you to connect with yourself from a place of curiosity and compassion.


I seek to integrate various therapeutic approaches to address both symptoms and root causes of distress. I usually invite my clients to go beyond symptoms – beyond coping – beyond surviving. 

For true change and healing to happen – in mind, body and spirit – we move to the heart of the issue and address root causes. In both individual and couples counselling, I have found it effective to look for the underlying patterns and beliefs that keep us stuck in our lives and relationships. What drives me is helping you to break free from the patterns that do not serve you – unlearning old programming and claiming back your true and whole self – rising up!
