About My Way of Working; Basic views and methods
As a psychotherapist and analyst I work from a basic psychodynamic and developmental vantage point. I view the
unique experiences of the client’s and his or her ways of expressing themselves as central. I follow the client’s own
‘language’, whether it appears in the form of stories, concrete descriptions from everyday life or in a more symbolic form,
like an image or a bodily expression. I also use dreams and daydreaming for reaching levels within, which are not very
conscious but which colours experience and behaviour. Understanding the patterns governing our ways of viewing
ourselves and dealing with relationships, entails both looking back as well as developing a perspective on what may
lie ahead in life.
People who experience a life crisis, with sudden and perhaps traumatic losses of work, health or somebody close,
often would need a more supportive way of working.
