Services
A variety of programs for anyone struggling with mental health issues or dealing with distress.
Counseling and Psychotherapy for Internationals
Knowing from first-hand what life abroad feels like, I am here to offer my services to the international community. Being an expat myself, I have experienced most of the ups and downs that living in a foreign country brings along.
All the things that can be exciting, can also be tricky at the same time. Finding a home, a job, friends and finding a balance between these things!
I believe in easy access to psychological support and I know that I will do my best to assist you.

Do you identify with any of the issues of above? Is your problem not mentioned on the list? Let me know what your issue is and we can find a way to work through this together.
How can I help
I have real interest to hear your story! My goal will be to create a safe and warm environment for you, so that we can work towards the understanding of your issues together. I will help you discover your blind spots, cultivate a healthy relationship with yourself and your loved ones and explore how your personal history affects your life in the present.
Also, I know that seeking support as an international can be tricky and the waiting lists can be long. Here in Therapy Sofa, I believe in easy access in mental health services. That means, firstly, that there is not an issue too small to ask for support and, secondly, that there is no waiting list (depending on my availability, 1-2 weeks).
Within all our concerns, finding a mental health professional shouldn’t be one of them.
Couples Therapy
Our romantic relationships involve great complexity. In all their beauty, difficulties, misunderstandings and conflicts often emerge.
None of us has been born with a guidebook for relationships, most of us have experienced some kind of relationship trauma, and all of us are behaving in our romantic relationships with the best way we know so far.
What are you dealing with
Lack of communication, emotional isolation, attachement issues, intimacy issues, anger issues, involvement of the greater family into the couple’s decisions, addiction, domestic violence, divorce/break-up are some of the many examples that people have asked support for.

Students Counseling
Having been a student myself and having supported students, I can understand the difficulties that come alongside the fun and beauty of student life. “You are a student, that’s the best phase in your life!”, people often say. But life does not wait for when it is convenient to get difficult and tough.
There are also changes at this stage that you have to cope with, a new house, a new city, new friends. Now you take on more responsibilities and often you do not know where to start from!
Emerging adulthood is a transitional period in life and it is very helpful to seek the support you may need.

Exam stress
Time management issues
Procrastination
Perfectionism
Mood fluctuations
Depression

Feeling empty

Depression

Sexuality
Traumatic event

How can I help
I am curious to understand you. Very often we hear people say “maybe it’s not a big deal, I am probably overthinking it/I am exaggerating”. But no issue is small enough to not seek for support.
I will try to create a safe and warm environment for you, so that we can work together towards understanding your issues. I will help you discover your blind spots, cultivate a healthy relationship with yourself and your loved ones and explore how your personal history affects your life in the present.
Also, I know that seeking support as an international student can be tricky and the waiting lists can be long. Here in Therapy Sofa, I believe in easy access in mental health services. That means, firstly, that I take into account potential financial difficulties and I want to provide affordable mental health care to students, and, secondly, that there is no waiting list (depending on my availability, it will be 1-2 weeks).
Within all your concerns, finding a mental health professional should not be one of them.
